I had a 20 lb bird for 4 people.

There was supposed to be more. But one group didn't come and another group got pissed off and left. Uncle came over with his large dog and family. My dad asked him to keep the dog outside while everyone was eating. He got pissed off and left. Gotta love family drama... It's not like it was something he didn't know. My dad had asked him many times before not to bring his dog to family dinners or if he must to keep the dog outside until people are done eating. The dog is not well trained and will go after people's plates and make a mess.

We don't celebrate thanksgiving in this country because we have absolutely nothing to be thankful for, so I can't share a story of my own. Your uncle sounds like a piece of shit, though.

I hate dogs, have I ever mentioned that?

Went to my brother's and feasted with him and a buddy of his.

I'm not one for drinking anything that looks like whisky, but I did sip on some 15 year old Scotch. It was yummy.

I think I gained five pounds in my eyelids. Our families seem to be competing to be the best at ... I don't know what, stuffing us with food, so that was fun running out of places to put edibles. Then we had a friends Thanksgiving, where our various groups brought leftovers and we spent the night watching horrible movies. This year's selection included Birdemic, The Room, Dragonball Evolution and the annual showing of Troll 2.

Who the hell brings a dog to someone else's house? I mean, I'm assuming we're not talking about as service dog or something, right? That's just strange.

On a similar note, I thought I was grabbing a 16lb turkey in the store and must have grabbed the one next to it instead. Didn't realize until I was ready to cook that it was a freaking 24lb bird. Smiley: yikes

I've got a serious amount of turkey meat in the freezer though, so that's something. Yes, I'm finally getting around to responding to a turkey day post. Cause why not?

We had Thanksgiving at my sister-in-laws. I'm all for leftovers and all that but as it turns out, not having to cook, serve and clean up a holiday meal is pretty nice as well.

I'm a glutton for punishment, I guess. While others brave the stores on Black Friday, I cook up my own turkey (usually mid sized), stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, etc. That way I get "leftovers", for myself (since I don't host). Dunno. It's just something I do. Honestly, you kinda can't find a better price per lb of protein than turkey around Thanksgiving (basically about $1.50-$2 per pound depending on whether you're getting a generic store brand versus a butterball or whatever), so there's that too. And I love me some turkey sammiches!

I may have gone a little overboard this year though.

$2.49/lb for me but that's 'cause I buy 'em fresh from the turkey farm.

Finally, someone who shares my hatred of dogs. They are like the worst of the pets, but you have to pretend to like them because people are so beholden to them. No other pet goes ******* when guests show up, and then come the apologies "oh they are usually not like this". Yes they are, sorry you feel picked a ****** pet.

Dogs have an innate ability to tell when someone's a ******* and end up behaving weirdly around them.

I don't trust a turkey that doesn't come frozen with the extra parts stuffed in a plastic bag somewhere inside it. And I'm willing to pay negative dollars for that privilege!

In my case it's often because I snuck in and fucked them the night before.

I don't even find dogs attractive, it's more the principle of the thing really.

He brings the dog everywhere with him. And it's not a dog he needs for medical purposes, or even a small dog. It's a large, obnoxious thing that he feeds table scraps. So it's learned that it can be around people eating and get food rather than discipline.

When we go to his house for meals, we deal with it. His house, his dog, etc. But he's been asked multiple times to not have the dog at other houses, at the very least not while dinner is being served. I think he was just looking to start an argument and have a reason to leave.

Mine cost me 3 cents a pound because I raised it in the bathtub and fed it organic corn I grew in a windowbox. You should learn to more self reliant.

You guys pay outrageous prices for turkey. I suppose that's better than paying outrageous pries on everything else though, like us northerners.

And, heck, for the grocery store birds those are nominally sale prices for the holidays. Try buying a turkey in June.

I think we paid around $1.49/lb at Thanksgiving and its typically 2.49-3.49 or so. But in $US, that's like $.50

My turkey was store-bought at $.99/lb. I got the 15lb and there's still quite a bit left, waiting to be turned into dumpling stew.

Finally got around to stripping down the carcass. My refrigerator has been acting wonky and everything in the middle shelves are freezing, so the turkey never went bad. If that thing was really 15lb then it was fourteen pounds of breast. Smiley: drool There's still enough meat on there to feed a company of sellswords.
