    We don't have "biscuits". Well we do but they're more like what you guys would call cookies. :)
    NOPE!!!

    I'll have to ask my cousin what she all did to make it. It was sweet for the most part. It was a yummy dish. :)

    But you have it with the main right?
    Like with the Turkey????
    And then Pumpkin Pie for finish?
    Now Pumpkin Pie I completely get! :D Man that stuff is LOVELY! :)

    But a recipe would be good pat. All this talk about it the last couple of weeks leading up to Thanksgiving has just got me MORE curious. :)
    NOPE!!!

    im a big fan of the stuffing covered with gravy the next day.....

    also a big plate of the leftover biscuits covered with gravy.....

    turkey soup and turkey sandwiches on Sunday......WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

    Me too!! I already pulled out a cookbook looking for recipes for the leftovers. The bummer is that there is no stuffing left. :( I guess that's what happens when someone is a fantastic cook...not that I'm boasting or anything... ;):D

    Hi Jeanie!! I do NOT like that weird sweet potato/marshmallow thingy. In fact, we didn't even have sweet taters this year...which is perfectly fine by me. We did have 3 pies though (2 pumpkin and 1 dutch apple)!

    Hiya M. :) How are you?

    I'm just struggling to imagine it. And I think I gotta try it just once.
    It's like whenever I'm reading English books and they talk about blancmange. :D I wanna try that too!
    But I don't know if I'd like it! Sounds weird!

    Pumpkin Pie I have had and it was yummy! :)
    NOPE!!!

    Does Australia have anything similar to the US's Thanksgiving?? I think I read/heard somewhere that Britain has 'Thanksgiving' (which I don't quite understand).

    Pumpkin pie (anything pumpkin for that matter) is my favorite! YUM-O!!!

    Also, my parents are going to be in NZ, Australia coming up soon...I'll send some sweet taters/marshmallow thing for them to bring you! :D

    Nope. We don't have anything like Thanksgiving.
    Didn't know they had something similar in Britian.

    Well it's been a really long time since I had Pumpkin Pie, but I remember my aunty made it when the family moved back from Canada when I was a kid.
    I should see if I can convince her to make it again. :D
    I love anything pumpkin too! :)

    Awesome! Your parents will love New Zealand. It's so beautiful.
    And goes without saying they'll love Oz. Don't know that customs would let them in with anything home made. They're really strict here. :(
    NOPE!!!

    Things you can only say on Thanksgiving


    1. Talk about a huge breast!
    2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist 3. It's Cool Whip
    time!
    4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
    5. That's one terrific spread!
    6. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat.
    7. Are you ready for seconds yet?
    8. Its a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
    9. Just wait your turn, you'll get some!
    10. Don't play with your meat.
    11. Just spread the legs open and stuff it in.
    12. Do you think you'll be able to handle all the 13. I didn't expect
    everyone to come!
    14. You still have a little bit on your chin.
    15. How long will it take after you stick it in?
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    Monica: Well, Phoebe doesn't eat turkey...

    Joey: Phoebe!

    Phoebe: Turkeys are beautiful, intelligent animals.

    Joey: No, they're not. They're ugly and stupid, and delicious!
