Roast Organic Free Range (ate bugs and rocks and stuff) Turkey with a TDB glaze* Gravy Mashed potatoes (I ordinarily would not have fixed them but we have this Costco enormous bag of russet baking potatoes that need to be used up) probably with tons of stilton cheese mixed in Glazed carrots with rosemary and toasted pecans Sauteed brussel sprouts (chopped up - looks interesting) Cranberry somethingorother TBD Baguettes An Argentine Blanc de Blancs 1982, 83 and 84 vertical of Kathryn Kennedy cabernets from my dad's cellar (it's a family event and that is when we drink those wines) Chardonnay for my beloved who sadly can no longer drink reds Apple pie Pumpking Pie Pecan Pie 1995 Taylor Fladgate Quinta de Vargellas Various cigars * Whole Paycheck called me saturday to say the kind of bird I ordered was not 'meeting their quality standards' (read - we can't get them) so they are giving me the upgraded one plus brining and seasoning kit and a $25 gift card to make up for my inconvenience. Can't beat that. |

i am joining a large family group (27) and bringing a little horsdoover: cream puff shells stuffed with a smoked salmon and a cream cheese filling I'm making 2 or 3 salads.. one with wild rice, grapefruit sections (no peel), pecans and parsley (a light poppy seed type dressing which i just make myself) and lightly blanched broccoli with raisins, onions, and bacon.. again, a light poppy seed type dressing.. my fam loves these. i also might make a marshmallow salad with canned pineapple, mandarin orange slices and sour cream.. a Thanksgiving tradition |

I will brine a turkey and we will have mashed potatoes and dressing and some kind of vegetable topped off with pecan pie. Not a whole lot of effort into anything except the turkey. Just the two of us (three counting Sweetie) this year. |

Does Sweetie get some tidbits too? Turkey might be a little awkward. Maybe just some dressing. |

Birds are predatory. I guess that's almost Quixotic - a parrot taking down a turkey. 'Yeah! Who's doing the gobbling NOW, Tommy Boy?' The things that would never cross my mind if I was not here. |

There have to be some perks that go along with being a captive bird. |

We're joining family in Richmond, but I'm bringing my special crumble-top apple pie and a pecan pie. My wife is bringing cinnamon raisin bread. Um, I had no idea that pecans were 12 dollars a bag. Outrageous! Now I remember why I stick to fruit pies. . . |

In all seriousness, you're too hard on him. I'm sure he knows that there are some healthcare professionals working at all times. And the point about much of the capital equipment being underutilized most of the time is certainly true. How many MRI shops are open during business hours only? |

Oh, and I was hoping for a laugh - I hope I got one, even if you didn't post it. ![]() And sorry you're working on t-day. I hope Medicare pays time-and-a-half that day. |

Ours isn't. Can't speak to the rest of the world.
I don't get paid unless I do cases - and the rate's the same if it's at noon or 2AM. But yeah. I did |

I'm eating at a friends and have been asked to bring my sea food salad for a starter. I just got back from the fish monger in S. Philly. Squid, muscles, clams, sea scallops, shrimp, English Cukes, scallions, Tiny tomato's, cellery, peas, cauliflower, asparagus. And my own secret home made dressing. I'm bringing a couple Beaujolais Nouveau that I bought last Thursday when it was released. |

don't worry, i think it'll veer back - too many cooks have yet to chime in. And... Mik - can you share your gravy recipe? I realize its a pretty trivial part of the show but I've only made it once. |
