    We did our get together yesterday. I started cooking at 6am, everything
    turned out good even though I threw a pie across the kitchen but we
    managed to save 90% of it. (My hands just randomly stop working it was
    not out of anger or anything... just threw the pie).

    Told everyone that's it for this year. Someone else can do xmas, as I
    will do my best to pick up a shift at work for time and a half anyway.

    Mine was a bit more sedate. Went to one of my Nephew's with my Sister and Bro-in-law, joined a bunch of relatives on his side I didn't know and we feasted on turkey, cornish hens, prime rib, backed potatos, baked mac and cheese, various veggies (I skipped those), crescent rolls, and for desert we had white and pumpkin spice cakes.

    Ya' know, the usual.

    sounds like rich people stuff aside from the mac and cheese. i'm against having mac and cheese as a dinner item at something big unless you have kids.

    for thanksgiving i was going to do a pickup order at a restaurant in
    town but i slept too late. so i just ate junk. good times!

    I used to think this way, then one of the best mac n cheese I ever had was
    a side dish at someone's house. (I can't remember who now).

    However, I never do a pasta of any type as a side dish as a lot of our
    family doesn't like it. (They are weird)

    I'm glad the pie was not thrown in frustration. My wife made several apple pies for a bake sale and I reminded her that the bakesale was over. She almost cried! She said she had some leftover stuff and she had made a small one for me about 4" in diameter. It had somehow become disrupted in the baking process and sort of opened up in the middle and looked like a vagina. I laughed and said something to the effect that I "liked to eat pie!" She laughed so hard that she started crying. It was a good Thanksgiving!

    It's the family that counts! I was at Filoli Center, an old mansion
    turned historical site that showcased all of the history of thanksgiving
    there.

    They had a bucket of KFC, apparently, one year they were unable to get
    turkey and dined on KFC in an ornate dining room for 30.

    Whole Foods. Picked up a Thanksgiving "kit" in the morning. Slide a
    pre-cooked turkey in the top rack, sides in the bottom, and it all
    takes about an hour.

    We were busy in the morning, needed something to make, fast.

    Sounds amazing. I don't have the oven space for turkey and another

    arent those precooked turkeys always dry?
    i tried one of those before.

    I just do a brine and then cook it in an oven bag.
    actually i used to have a slow cooker that was big enough for a turkey. came out great.

    I don't brine. I just season it and rub some butter over it and under
    the skin on the tiddies and cook it at 325 until done. (A meat thermometer)

    Not dry at all, nice and juicy and tastes great!

    My Nephew had no problem there. He had a commercial-grade, double-oven setup.

    I had one of those too, when I had a house. Currently I live in an apartment, and when I got married again, my wife moved in with me, and I bought a chest freezer for the apartment. I put it in the dining area, and although somewhat cramped, there's still enough room to get around the dining table with the freezer there.

    Ours is in the "Living room" but a section of it we use for the table.
    The actual dining room is my son's bedroom (who I haven't heard from in

    It's a device that takes open plastic bags, sucks the air out and seals
