    The wife has to have a Butterball turkey every Thanksgiving, it has to be a Butterball, she's very picky.

    I am very excited for Thanksgiving. we have the turkey in the freezer (23 lbs)

    I love all the food and being lazy all day and the football. especially now that there are 3 games!!!

    oh yeah, and i love the stuffing.

    Man do I love stuffing.

    We're going to pick up the meal supplies tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it!

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And of course Thanksgiving and football go hand in hand, it's the perfect combination. I'll bet you guys remember this one, look at Tom Brady digging in to that turkey!

    My all time favorite Holiday without a doubt.

    I already told my girlfriend we are NOT leaving the house to go to her sisters, her sisters husband is the type that always wants people to go there after dinner and we have the past couple years but I put my foot down firmly this year and told her I refused to go.

    Everyone is coming to our house this year 🙌

    I remember when John Madden used to call games with Pat Summerall on Thanksgiving and Madden would talk about his famous turducken, it's part turkey, part duck, and part chicken, and it had like five or six legs on it.

    Pat Summerall and John Madden, the good old days.

    Jelly cranberry sauce is a no no. It MUST have some cranberry pieces in it.

    BTW I refuse to put cranberry sauce in my leftover turkey sandwich.

    As I told everyone last year, we eat an organic turkey. Already bought. They're the best. 😎 And ...when I was younger I actually liked those sandwiches with the cranberry sauce. I know just what you're talking about. 🤣🤣

    I've baked Marie's dutch apple pie before, I like to cut up the apples into smaller pieces before baking
    so they get nice and soft, then the delicious crumb topping. YUM! I
    DoubleD thanks, I am definitely buying one for Thanksgiving now due to your reminding me of them
    and the fact that the Reese's Thanksgiving pie was limited to 3,000 pies and they have already sold out.

    That Reese’s pie looks like it is almost too much, I’d take a sliver of it but regardless a Coconut Cream pie is another variant to consider outside of traditional apple or pumpkin options

  • DarinDarin Posts: 7,009 ✭✭✭✭✭

    perk, yes the Reese's pie is a bit too much. I guess they made 3,000 of them and they sold them
    for $45 and they were gone quickly. I actually would not have bought one of them even if not sold out.

    Those Reese's pies are insane, it's like one really big Reese's cup, I'm starting to get the craving for one, please don't tell me they only made 3,000 copies.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oh no, I just checked and they did only make 3,000 Reese's pies, why would they do this to me, don't they want my money?

    They still make those oversized ones you can find at gas station stores though, you should try to find one of those, that will help Double D!!

    Haven't been to Murphy, but I expect so. I'm told Murphy is smaller than Cherokee...might go there next time and enjoy the drive.
    You might appreciate (or CRINGE) over what I witnessed last Monday. I'm at a $25 bj table, and ask the 2 players if they mind if I join mid-shoe. Guy at first says wait, lady in the middle says jump in. I decide to be respectful and wait at 3rd base. The lady in the middle is betting 2 hands of $50 each, plus the option bet at $5 each. I watch and become amazed at how inept she is at play, missing double downs, splits, etc. BUT, incredibly, she's winning, even while seeming to struggle with easy decisions.

    Now the creepy part...at least every other hand she tips the dealer a $5 chip, and KISSES IT before tossing it over. KISSES IT!!! I can't imagine the unthinkable filth on those chips. I watched for about 10 minutes and decide I can't play there and find an open spot elsewhere. I saw the dealer color up a couple of blacks, and was able to glance over from time to time to watch this "player" waste away her win as the dealer got to purple in tips. Unbelievable! Probably a top 5 of all the stuff I've seen in casinos over the many years I've played.

  • craig44craig44 Posts: 11,213 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Man, all this food talk is getting me really excited for Turkey day!! I saw someone mention they didnt like watching the girls stuff the bird. if that is the case, just have them make some and not stuff it in. that is what my old lady does. she even calls them different things: stuffing and dressing. I like both. the stuffing is always more moist the dressing more fluffy.

    I cant decide. but i do know i am hungry
