    We did a deep fried years back outside in my back yard as long as it’s not raining it’s safe at least 15 feet from the house, we’ve also done a turkey in paper bag that came out delicious! 
    My daughter is doing the turkey this year here at home she’s in charge of it!

    Have a good Thursday.
    haha. I actually admire the american tradition of thanksgiving. It's crazy to canadians that it's essentially bigger to you than christmas (as far as I've been told/see on tv haha). 

    Founders: we're going to have thankgiving on a thursday
    everyone: but why on a thursday? shouldn't it be on the weekend so we don't have to work the next day?
    founders: Thanksgiving shall be 4 days so everyone can get drunk and fight and then recover before returning to work.

    Holidays have been tricky since my mom passed away a few years ago. I live with my brother, and he has zero interest in going to a relative's or a friend's, and would be anti-social if I decided to host.

    I don't leave him alone for Christmas, but Thanksgiving I have. I usually go to my aunt's, who has hosted our entire extended family for decades. She's not hosting this year because her back is jacked up, so her son is hosting instead, and he invited us, but we're going to diner here instead:

    Took off Friday, heading to my best friend's to see my Goddaughters and surprise them with Hamilton tickets for their combined Birthday/Xmas present.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    I looked at that. But I was able to put together a home cooked meal with all the fixings for $110. Just get together with family. The rest is gravy. And apple pie. And football. I guess the six hours I will spend cooking probably justifies that cost.

    Every restaurant we looked at was $69-$89 per person. Then we found a well known steak/seafood restaurant offering the full Thanksgiving experience for $39 per person. Well that's where we are going. Hopefully it's a good choice. Then dessert and coffee at my house.

    We battle with the restaurant question every year. But nothing cheap in these parts. My back will hurt, but screw it. I cook. I buy the pie.  Everything else from scratch.

    I've ALWAYS enjoyed preparing the Holiday meals. Everyone here knows damned well I enjoy everything about the Holidays. But her side of the family has gotten bigger and my house is still small....haha
    Cooking the meal is fun. It's not work.

    Its true. If you cannot shut it down for two or three days and enjoy eating with friends and family, something is wrong. Cold turkey with mayo on whole wheat the Friday after is the best.

    My first job out of college was with my uncle's insurance company. His office was directly above the end of the Macy's parade in NYC. Every year, he'd invite the agents, the underwriters, and some clients for breakfast, and we'd watch the parade out the window. I'd be drunk and full by 10AM lol, and then I'd go to my aunt's and get more drunk and fuller.

    And I had off maybe 9 or 10 Black Fridays in a row at one point, across multiple jobs. That was MY day. When the vacation calendar came out in January, it was understood that I was gonna be off.

    The halcyon days...
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.
