Just want to wish my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving this week...I really need to get cooking!

I hope all my US friends have a great Thanksgiving! One of the American techs in our department is going to throw a mini-thanksgiving lunch for some of us in early December. Including his wonderful corn bread..... (LOVE corn bread!!). I've been volunteered to do baked veges (potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc). I think it's going to be fun!

I hope all my American friends have a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time off.

Happy Thanksgiving to all participating, here or abroad! Perfect art for the occasion, Springie! I like the look Joe is giving Jinpei -just the sort of look an older brother gives to a younger one when he thinks he's being a goof.

What great pictures, Springie! That top one is awesome... it makes me want to use it for a holiday placemat!

Is it already that time of the year?! Oh my, how time does fly! I wish all my American friends the best Thanksgiving ever, and a wonderful time with their families! Love the pictures you have chosen for the occasion, Springie! The first one has such a relaxed feel, which is what these festivities are all about!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here. I hope everyone has a great day.

Great Pics, Springie! I've got cooking duty this year, that means my brother gets Christmas. Happy Turkey Day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays over the next month or so. We're home in KY for the week, it's nice to be home for the holidays. Love the pics Springie definitely puts me in the mood for Turkey Day. Wishing everyone a safe and happy time during this time of year.

Pufles, I could have said it any better than you did!

Thank you, TJ. right back to you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating! Us Canadians celebrated over a month ago, and now we're enjoying (I use that term losely) the cold and snow of winter! Katse

Where are you Katse to have snow? Where I live north of Toronto, I am impatiently waiting for the snow. Although I did see signs of it on Sunday morning before the Santa Claus Parade, but it did not settle. *sigh*

We have snow here in the Northwest. We're going out to eat for Thanksgiving -although I'll probably still make my homemade cornbread! Happy days to all!

Eating out is always nice! I'm going to cook... but cooking on this scale is a bit of a novelty for me, so I'll enjoy it because I don't do it all that often.

I've never eaten out for a holiday, unless you count the Easter weekend that I went off to Reno with my hubby before we were married. No we didn't get married there, but my family seemed to expect it. It's only been the last four or five years that I've been doing holiday cooking. I enjoy, and I make the kids do the clean up.

Then, happy cooking to all! Even we do not go to eat out often on holidays! We do attend parties, or business dinners, but on those specific days, like Christmas, New Year, or Easter, we like to keep it a family thing, with everything home-made! I so hope I could be able to keep this tradition, too! Apart from the joy in doing so, even if sometimes it's tiring, we also find that it's not at all worth it to spend large amounts of money to eat out, the prices flying up sky high due to the special occasion in question, when you're eating food which is not top quality on such days! When there are a lot of persons requesting seats at restaurants, at one time, caterers need to prepare food a long way ahead (which, BTW is not that sanitary!), and I hate it when, sometimes, you're dictated by time as to how long you're to stay at a table, or not! At the end, nothing compares with home-made food!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving that is celebrating today. I'd sure be going out too if I didn't have friends doing cooking. I'm contributing a few things but not the big stuff. I kind of miss the big Thanksgiving dinner at home with family, but this is good too. No matter what you're doing, cooking, eating in, eating out, whatever, have a wonderful day. As for snow, the longer it stays away, the better I like it.
