stuffing or potatoes?
...both...
with extra gravy
I will be heading to my Aunts home tomorrow. She has a fresh free range bird and will be making all the trimmings.
...for the first time in decades, I'll be having turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce...and a tomato/avocado salad to lighten things up...I have an excellent Montepulciano red to accompany and Les Delices de Paul for dessert...*oink*...
^ Is there no 'American' Club in Bangkok?
A place for kindred spirits to gather.
My mother has Alzheimers we used to drive down to her house for Thanksgiving but a could of years ago it became clear she could no longer manage it. So know my Aunt has taken over. My step father will bring my mother and the dachshunds up for the holiday.
No easy answer to that. From the perspective of reuniting families Thanksgiving takes the cake. Independence day in the US sadly has been a brainless exercise for years. Many go camping or to vacation spots and indulge in lots of drinking and blowing off of fireworks. Very little thought goes into the meaning of the actual holiday.
No sisters but a brother and a step brother will be there. So yes catching up will happen as well as lots of eating. :)

The holiday I miss the most. To me it is the most family oriented of all our holidays. No kids here and a wife and helper who are more interested in Loy Kratong which also falls today so no chicken or turkey dinner.. In fact dine alone. Not into the crowds on the river.
Will miss cooking for the family. A tradition going back over 30 years.Here I'll be buying a new stove for our soon finished house. Hoping to find turkey,stuffing,cranberry sauce etc here in Thailand next year
Like most purely American events, it's decades in my rearview mirror. Wife and kids simply aren't interested, and there's no real reason why they should be. Too bad, but simply is pretty meaningless out here.
Why don't you Merkins intertwine your thanksgiving with your wife's thanksgiving? Push your turkey, ham and donuts out to sea on a boat and wait til Xmas like the rest of us, you greedy bunch of fat fuckers.:)
I'm all for holidays. I wish we had more.
...so, comfy under your rock then...
...no idea...I don't tend to hang out with fellow passport holders anyway...SD, having spent years in the States, is familiar with the holiday but more as a shopping event...so, I celebrate quietly with my memories of family, fall and outrageous over-indulgence...
Bah Humbug!!
ooops sorry
wrong holiday
:smileylaughing:
Thanksgiving is the only holiday I ever enjoyed after becoming 18 or so. The rest are worthless marketing nonsense...
Happy Thanksgiving to all other 'mercans on TD. No Turkey here but Wife is going to do up a Ham and some taters and veggies. I will not be up at 4am watching NFL. I will watch later having a Ham sammy.
