EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING/OT

[Annie]

Hi all i think this is where i put this not sure ...   Any-way just wanted to say Have a Great ThanksGiving.
                        Love Anne

You, too, Annie!  I and my friends are planning on spending the early afternoon (while the bird gets shoved into the oven for a long, low-heat cooking) going to see a matinee showing of Stephen King's The Mist, rather than watching football games.  After that, I'm in charge of table-setting, my best friend is in charge of bartending while more guests arrive, and his wife is in charge of cooking.  Maybe we'll have an eerie "The Mist" theme this year - the bird eats us rather than us eating the bird.

Same to you Annie! I hope your foot has healed nicely and that you're up and dancing about. Gerard, I hope you have a blast at The Mist and come back and give us your thoughts on it. Great story!

Thank you
And all my best wishes to everyone for a happy and fun Thanksgivings!

I'm casting my share of T'giving enjoyment onto the wind so that all of yours will be hightened a little bit more.     I try to sleep through these things, but I'll probably fail and may go online for distraction, fueling the vicious cycle of eye abuse that creates the sleep problem in the first place.

Thanks Annie! I hope everyone else has a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!

Hi Anne, Happy Thanksgiving to you too and everyone else.  I love this time of year; the fall colors, cooler temperatures and the spirit of giving thanks for all I have, even the troublesome times.  Challenges and tribulations only make one stronger in the end.

[EmeraldRose]

Thank you, Annie! (And everyone else, too.) I also would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

how was thanksgiving at collinwood?

did matthew morgan go out and shoot a wild turkey himself or was it always a frozen butterball?
how was mrs. johnson's cooking on the big day?you just know the turkey was scorched-earth stuff,the giblet gravy was greasy,the veggies cooked to within an inch of their lives and she made a mincemeat pie laden with lard and suet and gamy venison and it was a total gross-out that the family politely ate anyways.

hope everyone had a great day.

But one thing is certain: there was always fresh mayonnaise for the turkey sandwiches.

I am laughing out of my nether regions at the Mysterious Darling's last comment...

Whenever the topic of holidays at Collinwood comes up, I always find myself wondering whether Mrs. Johnson ever made that new recipe for Indian pudding?  *wink*

My sister made Indian pudding once in the Seventies.  And honest to Goddess, it took three hours.

I'm thinking that the Thanksgiving foods at Collinwood vastly improved after Mrs. Johnson got there.  Until then, Liz tried (with some begrudging help from Carolyn) to make the feast and it would turn out to be some culinary Green-Acres-Lisa-Douglas-hotcakes fiasco.  They would then all pile into the car and head 50 miles to Bangor to find Chinese (the Collinsport Diner wasn't open as Maggie was home cooking for her and Pop).  Matthew didn't go with the family, though.  He would head over to the Blue Whale (which was always open) to booze it up and eat freely-provided cold-cut sandwiches from Bob to the other area bachelors.
