Your Thanksgiving Plans?

If my late mother was still around I would most certainly want to visit her, but with COVID even if she was still alive, I wouldn't.

I am just going to watch Washington blow huge chunky donkey balls and lose to Dallas.

We thought about having a traditional USian Thanksgiving just to see what all the fuss was about, but we couldn’t find any Native Americans to exploit.

They got a raw deal for sure.

As with Christmas and the winter solstice, it appears the TRUE meaning of thanksgiving has got nowt todo with Native Americans (nor Christianity, for that matter). According to wiki they celebrate it in Japan and Germany even 

Pilgrims and Puritans who emigrated from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to .

I handed the job of Thanksgiving to my daughter a couple years ago.

The dream is real!  

I think that I'm going to let my big girl do the dinner next year, she's been helping me the past few and knows the recipes by heart. She's already a pretty decent baker, and she's asked me if I might plant some wheat so that she can make baked goods for us to sell. I'm down. Anything to keep her busy with something that isn't penis, she'll be 13 in spring.

Yeah, lots of places have a harvest festival of some sort or other, a holdover from an era when a good enough harvest to keep fewer people from starving to death was thanks worthy.

Thanksgiving in the us has nothing to do with that, oddly enough. The people who came here and celebrated it weren't farmers...they didn't even bring farming implements with them when they came. It's a weird tick of american history that people believe that this country was formed by popular exodus.when, in reality, it was a temporary fishing colony for quite some time, - and managed as-such.

The US did not have a credible ag industry until well after the american revolution. Completely dependent on shipments of goods from the homeland.

The very first thanksgiving in the us was celebrated by young single men in extraction industries...because everyone else had died. No shit. It wasn't thanks for a harvest because they didn't have a harvest. They were just happy to be among the living.

Is it traditional to serve the turkey with grapes? (from the wiki image lolz)

I think that I'm going to let my big girl do the dinner next year, she's been helping me the past few and knows the recipes by heart.  She's already a pretty decent baker, and she's asked me if I might plant some wheat so that she can make baked goods for us to sell.  I'm down.  Anything to keep her busy with something that isn't penis, she'll be 13 in spring.

My handing off the Thanksgiving duties was more based on some health issues I have had the past few years.  My oldest is way beyond 13 but I get it...granddaughter is 15 and daughter is learning why I was pulling my hair out during her teens.  Hehe.  Yes, what goes around comes around.

Daughter is a good cook when it comes to fancy foods but last year her mashed potatoes were...ummm...a bit lacking.  And granddaughter told her mother to not even attempt mac n cheese, so that's my job for as long as I can manage it.

Daughter pretty much has my turkey gravy down pat and that's the most important food stuff as far as I am concerned when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner.
