~ FReeper Canteen ~
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Troops, Veterans, Allies, and to your family members. Thank you for allowing us all to celebrate a day to give Thanks!

 

 

 

Welcome to the Canteen!

We're going to revisit an old question, but give it a more holiday twist.

Since most of you will have Thanksgiving off and perhaps even Friday as well, here's our question:

What are the best movies for the holiday?

The best family movie that can be enjoyed by everyone?

The best thriller for those who need suspense?

The best comedy movie for those who need a laugh?

The best movie based on a real life person or event?

Once again, from all of us at the Canteen:

We wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving week!

~~To Our Brave Patriot Vets, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Coasties, Allies & Families~~

We thank you so much, we love you & we pray for you daily!

Happy & Safe Thanksgiving to You All & All Our Great Canteeners!

This is the dessert I'm making for tomorrow:

Flan

1/3 cup sugar 5 eggs 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 1 can evaporated milk 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese 2 tablespoons Kahula (optional)

Place sugar in aluminum loaf pan. Hold loaf pan over low heat, moving pan from side to side until sugar is completely melted and golden brown. Swirl to coat sides and bottom evenly with the sugar. Set aside.

Beat eggs and cream cheese well. Add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk and beat until blended. Beat in vanilla. Add optional Kahlua if desired. Pour mixture into aluminum loaf pan and place in a larger pan containing 1" hot water. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool; then turn over on a serving plate.

LOVE YA, TROOPS ~~ WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Saving Private Ryan. Everyone should see at least the 1st 10 mins or so to get idea of what it cost to cross Ohmaha Beach, Normady France at 6:30am June 6th, 1944. Cut out the bit and pieces of Holliweird drama nonsense and over all it is very good movie.

Hi, MoJo!

Got to have "A Christmas Story"!

Also:

"A Midnight Clear": Gary Sinise leads a group of young replacements through the Ardennes during The Battle Of The Bulge. An excellent, middle-budgeted, overlooked gem.

Jack.
