My father grew up with it. I like it, but somehow I am drawn to just plain apple pie. Very all american.

Never cared for flies myself but you're eating on a very green tier in the food chain.

We had an ollaberry pie and a pecan pie along with a persimmon pudding. Actually I ate so much dinner I could scarcely deal with the dessert. Taking a drive tomorrow but Sunday I'll make the turkey soup. I probably like that as much as main meal, and it lasts longer.

Tanner and Hudson perfectly embody how Thanksgiving went at my house:

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Glad to hear you had a great time with your loved ones, GC.  
You forgot my pie though, didn't you? 

No worries. There's still Christmas! Smile

I thought you didn't like pumpkin pie, so I ate the whole thing. Smile
Yes I'm looking forward to Christmas but probably not for the reasons of most here.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I had some good food, hang out with some family members I only see once or twice a year, and got to play with some babies. Pratty successful Thanksgiving, if you ask me.

My wife and I volunteered at a local soup kitchen from mid-morning until about 2:00. Then we went home, made a scaled down Thanksgiving dinner for two (my wife's sweet potato pie rocks), and ate. I spoke with my kids on the phone while my wife made calls of her own. Then we smoked a joint and chilled out for a while before . . . well, that's none of your business.

Yeah, it was a really good day.

Just finished. Feel like a tick. Alas, my son and I were the only ones to eat the stuffing. Boiling the leftover carcass for turkey soup.

The cheeseburgers were good. My wife did the washing up, and I gave her thanks. I hope that counts.

Like it always goes. We ate just a little too much yesterday and are eating light leftovers today. All very low key and good tasting.
