Thanksgiving

We're fixing the usual turkey,stuffin,pumpkin pies,cranberries....Once again its time that I get to have my hands up a turkeys butt...Horray!
 
Hambil and I have decided to start our own Thanksgiving tradition and watch the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended versions. I plan to get the traditional feast from one of the supermarkets that will sell you everything pre-made, so all we have to do is heat it up. Now if I can just find a sugar-free pumpkin pie... they used to be easy to get, but I'm having a hell of a time locating one this year.

Do youi have a COSTCO near you? They have them there.

Yeah, but you have to have a COSTCO card to buy anything. We just don't buy enough in bulk for it to be worth the cost of a card. Thanks for the idea, though. :)
 
I thought that too, and did my first shopping there this month, my wife bought the card because the contacts she needed to get were cheaper than the cost of the membership )seriously).

I went there haloween and spent 420 dollars and have saved almost three hundred off my grocery bill in the last month. It's pretty wild, you just make one trip to the market instead of four and its close to 40 percent on the dollar off and things you use regularly, like paper towels and cereal, dog food, stuff like that. Two pounds of coffee for 12 bucks/ 24 rolls of paper towels for 11 dollars.

The years membership is like 50 bucks.

It took me a while to figure it out, and we have a tiny place especially in the kitchen, so I know it works well. :)
 
I can't even remember the last time I went to a regular grocery store. I've been going to costco almost exclusively for 18 months or so. Its 50 bucks for 2 years, and the amount of DVDs and Electronics I buy there alone makes it worth it.

I also just got a Sam's Club membership. Sam's seem to have a bigger, better selection than even Costco.

Anyhow, on Thanksgiving, I plan to get up around noon, and be in a drunken stupor by 3PM. Thank god I've got satellite TV, as I can watch porn 24/7 during that time, too.
 
You get porn on your satellite? Not that cinemax panties-on dryhumping bullshit, but good sweaty porn?

Nice! We always make a fuss. I'm making a chocolate walnut pie this year, one of my specialties. I bought one of those big vat deep fryers on ebay this year on the cheap, I had turkey that way last year and it was fantastic.

Cranberry marmalade something or other, those beautiful half squashes that you fill with butter, and enough mashed potatoes. The gravy is also marvelous.

And pie, lots and lots of pie.

I used to make a huge fuss. Now, every year it is where will my daughter and her husband spend the holidays - my house, her dad's or her husband's parents? The rest of the nieces and nephews are older and married - spending the holidays with the inlaws out of town. Flux time as old traditions are changed into new ones. Thanksgiving isn't so bad, but Christmas bothers me. I'm thinking about taking a Christmas Cruise with a bunch of older people in my same situation.

Yummmy - pie!

Doesn't that require a certain amount of planning ahead? Hambil and I are kinda impaired in that area. :lol: And where the hell do you store all that stuff?

Yes. They have all types of different "packages" available for modest fees. :bigass:
