Thanksgiving for me is a 2-3 day marathon of cooking and baking for my friends and family(my door is open to everyone on Thanksgiving ,I tell every one to bring their Appite) It is a time for rembering those long ago Thanksgivings when me and my father would kick Mom out of the kitchen and cook up a feast, just the two of us.....now that he has passed on I carry on our tradition by making Feast for all who come to my door
It's a time of rembering with great fondness my grandfather who loved this time of year, with all the leaves showing their color...it's a reminder to take an extra moment to be Thankful (and be aware) of the beauty of Nature around us.
It's a time to enjoy and re-connect /catch up with with family and friends, some who we haven't seen in a while.
....and the left overs Wow...sometimes I have a lot!...I make up dinner plates and freeze some of them for quick microwave dinners and I give some to neighbors (or co-workers) who may not have anyone... and were too shy to come over to my house.....and of course all who come get something to take home even if it's only a pie or some baked goods.

We play games and, because of the distance to family, spend the holiday with friends. Plus, I like the special dinner.

My wife's turkey! It is the most juicy in the whole world! Even the breast is sooooo good and juicy! YUMMY! I want cranberry sauce and homemade stuffing! She makes the very best pecan pie! I know why I married that girl!

turkey. turkey skin, crisp from roasting all day. my mom puts strips of bacon over the whole bird to keep it moist, and that bacon, after roasting all day on the skin of that turkey is the best thing about thanksgiving.
great, now i'm drooling AND my stomach's growling. ;o)
