DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 6

Happy Turkey TGIF! Today folks we move along and see that we have 6 days remaining until Thanksgiving. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with our destination arriving on Thursday with Thanksgiving of course. It’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below (the final one ever in this thread)!

Corn, beans, and squash were known as the “three sisters” by Native American groups and were mainstays at early Thanksgivings.

I have never been a big fan of beans or squash, but I do like corn. I figured that was one of the mainstays but didn’t realize squash was to be honest. I could see beans being there too. But squash out of the 3 surprises me the most. The final Fun Fact Friday of the thread. Don’t worry, Fun Fact Fridays are renewed for the new thread. It seems like some think it would be cool to move the weekly countdown to Thanksgiving to Thursdays, and I think that’s happening. Mondays I think the idea some were giving of recipes made me think of YouTube (which can include anything from recipes to videos of cutting a turkey, or a fun Thanksgiving show, past Macy’s parades etc.). With YouTube we’ll never run out of fun stuff we can find. Have a great Turkey TGIF!​

We were at the store last night and I made a pass by the turkey freezers. They had 2 huge Butterballs that were quite tormented looking. They looked like they had got flattened. I checked for no ripped packaging because they were priced at 7.00 each. I decided to buy them and use 1 for making turkey stock this weekend and use the other to just put on the smoker come mid winter...ughh (its on its way)

DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 5

Happy Weekend Before Thanksgiving! Today folks we move along and see that we have 5 days remaining until Thanksgiving. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with our final destination arriving on Thursday. It will be Thanksgiving. Did I really have to say that? It’s Saturday folks so time for the first half of our Quiet Weekend Period. I’m really excited for this one as we will be around home base today. I’ll be doing lots of stuff like my laundry but also preparing for Thanksgiving. The turkey will be taken out to defrost and some sides we still need will be on my food shopping list. It’s going to be very exciting this weekend friends. The Sunday Group will head to the Christmas Shops, which will be extra special for our annual trip to them. I think everyone is just so happy right now being on the verge of the holiday season. I know the Christmas Season technically started November 13th, but most people really get fully into it this coming week. But people like us (and Coach) really get into it this weekend. I hope you are all doing well my turkey friends. The best to you all and I hope you enjoy your day as much as you can. Prepare yourself for everything to come. Enjoy it. It’s time for a special weekend. Have a great Weekend Before Thanksgiving!​
