Enjoy and make sure you all ware your over sized waist bands. And be sure to rest after you eat, for we all know how sleepy that turkey can make us.

Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest, When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board The old broken links of affection restored, When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?

*shakes fist agrily at the sky* Why? Why oh why did I have to go and get a stomach virus!! *sob* plain white rice... thats my thanksgiving =(

Matt have mom make up a plate and put it in a bag and hold the vac to the bag and vacum seal it. then twist the end and freeze it. It will warm up in the oven at 175 in about one ohour just fine. And then you can eat when you feel better.

I'll give that a try, but with my luck ill end up vacuuming my dinner ><.

Just hold the vac hose at the end of the bag. LOL

hehe, thanks Clayton, you saved my life ;P

I'm lucky! Thanks giving! My mom doesn't have to cook so everythings all good...i'm like so lucky when family cooks and she doesn't :-D

Good for her. She most likely loves the break.

Enjoy and have a safe holiday ... from Canada.

I do try to be worldly and honor all traditions .. so .. may all in Australia enjoy a Roo's Tail .. as I've heard is their custom.

What is the roo's tail?

It's just another KEIFER 'rouse.' Gotta luv that.

'K, back to my cave ... and hey! You kids! Stay off of my rocks!

Kanga-Roo .. ask jacqueline or samatar ... maybe they'll ship us one packed on ice if we pay the freight ... I would glady post a picture of myself gnawing on a roo's tail to show my appreciation

I've heard they are YUMMY

I have had a roo burger before (tail would be a bit bony I suspect). Roo is very gamey, I didn't like it much... my partner chose an emu burger and that was much nicer... like a really big chicken, I suppose...

Anyway, you guys have a good time eating your turkey and thanking people. Or whatever it is you do over there... ;-)

your roos tail is on the way Keith I could have got $20 for it but i sent it to you instead.. hope you enjoy it.. LOL... *sigh... i'll just sit here eating wichety grubs and emus... while you lot enjoy your turkey... lol
I know im going to regret saying that.. so before you ask what a wichety grub is.. its like a big caterpillar that aboriginies eat which is a delicacy to them but is yuk to me *shivers at the thought of eating one...

Happy thanksgiving to all of you and your loved ones... have a safe holiday

* waves hands wildly in the air *

I know what a wichety grub is !!! I saw Quigley Down Under !!!

Keith can't say I'm not a member of the International Community * sniffs *

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :)

Oh .. I don't know .. wichety grubs look full of protein .. I ate a caterpillar when I lived in hawaii (3 years old) .. must have been the proximity to Australia .. (another 7000 miles?)
