Happy Thanksgiving From Black Shoe Diaries!

computer is going away shortly as guests start arriving!. OSU SUCKS and We have a 20 lb bird, wife just peeled and started 3lbs of potatoes to mash and I have a casarol of scalloped oysters waiting on the bird to finish. I’ll be full by the time I’m done carving the turkey with room for some stuffing, mashed potatoes, baked corn and scalloped oysters. Then bunches of homemade pies, pumpkin, pecan, banana creme and shoefly.

I’ve got a 20lb bird that has been brining since late Tuesday, 20lbs of potatoes are boiling, and I’m getting ready to crack open a beer. Maybe I’ll make a pie. Maybe. This is my 2nd favorite holiday next to New Years Day: cooking, eating and watching football is what I love. Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s a holiday based around shoving as much food into your gut as possible, drinking beer, watching football, and making napping not only acceptable, but encouraged. And I’m very thankful to be able to do all of those things.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

everyone! A little We Are from Atlanta, GA. The wife, daughter and I are heading to Clemson for fried turkey (pray for us) and all the coma-inducing side dishes.

Have fun, today was better than yesterday…and tOSU sucks!

just for mentioning Tony Romo late season failure

I’ll get to my parents, pour a two fingers of Wild Turkey in a snifter, enjoy it and build a fire in the fireplace. Football and turkey follow.

My favorite holiday.

True story..Wife bought a smaller turkey (only me, wife and 2 girls coming to dinner) and put it out on the back deck to thaw on Tuesday night.

When I took the dog out yesterday morning, I noticed the turkey had been “ripped open” and about 1/3 of the turkey had been eaten.

So…the local raccoons, skunks, possums, fox or whatever (do rabbits eat turkey?) had a good pre-Thanksgiving feast (we didn’t supply any potatoes, veggies or pumpkin pie for the varmits!).

Happy Thanksgiving to all BSD’ers everywhere.

Looks like he just got engaged.

The LATEST they serve dinner is 1 o’clock! Ridiculous! So we have an indoor tailgate planned for the Harbaugh Bowl to supplement the ungodly early dinner.

FTR-I love turkey and ham-but tO$U sucks is ALWAYS the right choice.

I think we all have a lot to be thankful for, even in the midst of this last month. Amongst the things I am thankful for is this community in these rough times.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, spend time with loved ones if you can, and if you can’t, know there’s love emanating from my neck of the woods :)

Also, how long has it been since the Lions were not screw up the whole holiday awful. I think I was in high school.

Got a small turkey breast for the small Thanksgiving my girlfriend and I are having in Florida. Hope everyone’s time with their loved ones is great!

I’m celebrating turkey day in Iowa in a house full of hawkeye fans this year. At least I don’t have to listen to them talk about owning us anymore!

I’m cursing at my TV right now because Aaron Rodgers isn’t playing like his usual fantasy self. Relatives are on their way to State College via DC. Probably gonna catch a late showing of the Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas tonight (presuming I’m still conscious).

Not a single drop of booze due to a metric assload of cold meds / anti-whatevers. Now hoping I can make it through the night at the in-laws with two cats running around (I’m highly allergic). Codeine is the truth though.

So, the six of you wondering where the podcast was, I was semi-dying. I will atone for this by getting hammered at the first practical opportunity. Hope all your overeating and football dreams came true today!

Georgetown sucks. :)
