Good ol' Erma Bombeck...read her books over the years. Her gift of humorous observations was such a joy! "Motherhood, the Second Oldest Profession," such a blast!
Rodger, Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, and the truly great cast of readers and commenters you gather here at C&S!

Wasn't it Jon Stewart who said "I celebrated Thanksgiving once by serving all my guests real Indian pemmican.When they got over being nauseus and throwing up,they beat the shit outta me and I spent three days in the hospital"...So much for that "blood brother" crap.

Happy Turkey Day to you Rodger and all the fellow C&Sers! I hope everyone had a nice holiday and a chance to visit with some family or friends.
Hey Rodger I was thinking-- (prolly from all the cooking I've been doing the last couple of days)-- what sort of exotic dishes do you prepare for holidays? I'm overdue for one of your cooking tips or recipes!

We went to son #3's home again this year, so our contribution was 2 pumpkin pies, 2 pecan pies, one pound spiced shrimp, and green bean casserole. I burned the pumpkin pie crust.
Huck, however, makes the best turkey in the world. Most people don't even really like turkey, is my guess, but his is so good it's in the Guinness record book. I'm not kidding. His secret? He only buys Butterball turkeys, and bastes it every 1/2 hour.
I bet your dinner was pretty damned good though. Do you serve sauerkraut? Oyster dressing? - 11/23/06, 9:58 PM

I just wanna say in closing before I go to bed, this has been probably the most sucky night I've had this year. 'Black Friday' is a rediculous excuse for companies to get their godamn sidewalks littered with people.
I'll tell ya what I'm thankful for, and try not to regret it later for the bad mood I'm in; I'm grateful for a really sweet girl that I love spending time with, my little brother, family...sure...But I'm thankful that I have a mom who slaves at work, home, and anywhere else to make sure her ungreatful kids are happy, even if that puts her in a bad place for certain things.
I've never seen her spend a decent amount of money on herself, and so when shifting through the paper today, she found a nifty little computer that she wanted to replace the one she has, that has a black monitor that she can't see out of; I forced her to get it. I'm 'shamed to say I don't at my age have the money for that, not that she would have let me pay for it to begin with, but it's what she wanted, and lord knows nobody else gets her crap.
One catch; there are probably no more than 20 of these comps, the sale lasts 4 hours, and the tickets for those items are handed out at 4am. So I head there at 2:30 in the morning, get there at 3:00...and there are easily over 100 people there. So I call her, she figured it'd be like this anyway, no big deal.
So I sit here after getting home, depressed, angry, that the one thing that this woman has been willing to buy herself; she can't have.
*Bows*
Aside from the exaggerated dramatic decription of the events, the bottom line is that these people are stupid greedy green grubbing whores, and I hope they die, serious I do. - 11/24/06, 4:44 AM

Josh you are one good son! You made a good and honorable attempt to help your mom have something special. IMO, you've given all new reference to "it's the thought that counts." I'm sure your mom is very proud of you. Take heart. Juice

We usually go to my parent's for Thanksgiving and they only use ButterBalls too. My mom cooks hers in one of those bag things and that keeps it pretty moist.
No Sauerkraut or oyster stuffing. Just old fashioned corn bread dressing with giblet gravy and dumplings with a sweet potatoe soufle on the side. I did roast some brocoli with garlic to have a vegetable- ha!
We always have punkin pie and buttermilk pie- sometimes we have sweet potato pie too. This year I made buttermilk pies but used maple sugar I brought back from Çanada- I was trying to replicate Tarte de Sucre. It would have been easier to just google a recipe but it was good too!
Josh, try looking for your mom's computer online- all of the special items I wanted were sold out immediately too, but I went online and ordered them for the same price! I'm not even getting up early next year!
