What a beautiful bird! I could never get the drumsticks back in the ‘folded’ position - so I’m a bit jealous.

I just got back home from friends. We all (16) had a wonderful dinner - lots of stories, jokes, magic tricks (the host) and two long tables of food, salads and desserts.

Everyone laughed so hard, we had tears running down our faces.

The L-tryptophane is kickin’ in.....I may have to turn in early, tonight.

Here’s one last Thanksgiving greeting for all you night-owls:

I missed Gina’s painted floor too...

She has promised pictures but none yet.

They are good folks.

[Tamar1973]

Nope. We went out. I did make homemade biscuits for breakfast though. :D

Did you go out for American food or did you go get something exotic like Indian food or something?

[TASMANIANRED]

Blue berries picked by own little hands too.

I checked foodnetwork.com and found a 5-Star recipe that added a couple of ingredients - Madeira and bread crumbs. Sounds sinfully delicious!

6 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound mushrooms thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Madeira
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 cups leftover cooked turkey, cut into 3/4-inch dice
1/2 pound linguine cooked to al dente stage
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Doing donuts intentionally is a work of art.

[luvie]

Yep, I dropped the ball on that one!

Thanks for the 2/3 hat trick though! :D

[HiJinx]

I don’t want you to be that one, either.

[Tamar1973]

Tamar, that’s a wunnerful thing you did today...giving others a reason to be thankful.

Thanks! Right now my feet are thankful they aren't standing around anymore! LOL!

[GodBlessUSA]

Let me know if Nana has a recipe. I know her recipe will be delicious! :)

[TASMANIANRED]

I can vouch for it...Delish and I’m not a banana fan.

[GodBlessUSA]

Now that was fast. LOL! :)

Thanks Hijinx! I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

[luvie]

Plain ole American turkey, dressing, sweet tatos and green-bean salad...and the wonderful pecan pie.

Nothing exotic for me on Thanksgiving! LOL!

[HiJinx]

Magic? Lucky you!

Sounds like a grand day...glad you had a chance to be with friends.

Turning in? Sweet dreams, yorkie.

[Randy Larsen]

Oh no!

I LOVE YOU!

[TASMANIANRED]

I think I’ll make it tomorrow too...especially since it won’t crowd my oven.

[luvie]

Thank you! (((hugs)))

[mylife]

Looks good Jinxy!

[HiJinx]

I bet they are...now’s the time for a good foot rub - or soak - whichever pleases you most.

You deserve it!

[HiJinx]
