Spending the holiday in the country with my parents, brother, aunt and uncle. I'll be making spinach dip, strawberry pretzel salad, broccoli salad, and green bean casserole. I'm also making this cranberry relish that I heard about on NPR the other morning. It sounds funky but delicious, to me. My mom is skeptical...lol.

My big brother and I will toss the football as we always do on Thanksgiving, and we're all hopeful that my aunt and uncle will keep the politics and bigotry to a minimum this year. :)

I don't have any family family here in Texas. I do have some excellent friends who include me in their family functions. So blessed!!

Just found out my local organic market will have blackberries available..so as a surprise I will be making a blackberry crisp for spouse..he will love it

Was going to a friend's home, but she's cancelled. Will stay home, watch movies, smoke the good stuff, talk to family on phone.

Could be so much worse.

We were going to some friends who cancelled also, so I'm going to cook our dinner and we will be here alone unless some of the grandkids decide to show up. But since I made my stepdaughter move out I have become "the bad guy", so I doubt very much any of them show up.

It's that time again!!

I'm spending Thanksgiving with JD's family and will be rustling up a pumpkin pie, some kind of veggie, and whatever bread they want (usually homemade cheddar bay biscuits).

We eat and then sit around and chit-chat. Something tells me that this year we might be taking JD's Mom out to shop. (and I kinda love it!)

Thanksgiving
 

OMG, I think that I have to cook. My mom keeps inviting relatives to my house. Ugh.

i'm doing the usual ..along with a surprise or two(i'm sure)

Folks are going out of town. I will be here and going to my sister's house for the feast.

We are going to have Amy and her boyfriend over for dinner.

So very grateful:praying:

My mother is hosting the event. There will be a full house for sure. On top of the usual suspects, we will be adding my sweetie and his mother and youngest son, my youngest daughter is bringing her southern. Beau and my eldest is bringing a friend friend.

All total it'll be about 15 people. In my mother's little cottage lol. Should be fun. I've missed so many holiday get togethers. I'm very much looking forward to this one :)

Just taking some time to plan Thanksgiving 2017..but the menu always stresses me out..i want to try a few different things this year, for instance a Chocolate Cream pie..but even that is complicated:hk11:

I'm going to my friend's in Albuquerque. I can't wait to see her and she is a great cook, so there will be plenty of yummy home cooked food - which I really miss. Also, I get to snuggle with the babygirl Shih Tzus!

I'm going to my aunt's and uncle's. My sister, parents, and some cousins and significant others will be there. And of course I'm bringing my butch.

Going to a Community Thanksgiving Dinner offered free by a local church.

Don't forget to send positive energy to those who cannot celebrate Thanksgiving, including the People of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Cuba.

Spouse loved the cake.....i didn't tell him it was vegan :byebye:
