Advertisement Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Hi robert_parker, Take a look here Happy Thanksgiving !!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
miami91 Posted November 22, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 22, 2006 Thank you Robert. One of the better American holidays, in my opinion. No religious connotations, two days off from work, and traditions include eating copious amounts of food and watching football! Although for me, being a first generation Yank of English heritage, the holiday weekend will be spent watching thirty some hours of Ashes coverage from the action at The Gabba (go England!). Jeff.

franklinh Posted November 23, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 23, 2006 Thank you Robert! Are their days like this in Great Britain that you feast on Turkey? I was born and raised in New York state, close to New England so this is one of my favorite holidays. Franklin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinh Posted November 23, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 23, 2006 Hey, Miami91. My son who studies music in Appleton Wisconsin is visited his college roommate's home in Minneapolis this Thanksgiving weekend! Franklin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Morrison Posted November 23, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 23, 2006 Yes, a happy thanksgiving to all American benutzers (did I spell that right?). Here in Canada we had our Thanksgiving over a month ago. I think this is largely because our harvest was well and truly over by then. It's about -12deg.Celsius and snowing where I am right now. I love my battery non-dependant M4-P. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gberger Posted November 23, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2006 This is the one holiday we all enjoy and celebrate - - regardless of religion, race, ethnic background, previous nationality, or how long we've been here. It's no wonder that the Thanksgiving weekend is the most heavily-travelled in the year. A Happy Thanksgiving to All Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami91 Posted November 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey, Miami91. My son who studies music in Appleton Wisconsin is visited his college roommate's home in Minneapolis this Thanksgiving weekend! Franklin Franklin, He picked a good time to come. Unseasonably warm weather here in the upper midwest --- 50s through the weekend! Hope he enjoys himself. I'm not a native Minneapolitan, but I've been very happy in my 12 years here. It's a very vibrant city with a good quality of life. Happy Thanksgiving! Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted November 23, 2006 Franklin In England we have the two day holiday and eat turkey at Christmas !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron110n Posted November 23, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks Robert, and Happy Thanks Giving to all Yanks. The party has started here in Southern California and we're gonna be eating what's left of the turkey through Sunday; and for some more that's left will be a turkey sandwich or cobb salad at work for Monday. Gabble-Gabble!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADP Posted November 23, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2006 Happy Thanksgiving to all. We are about to drive over to my Aunt's house, and have dinner there with a number of our family members. After that, maybe we'll go see the new Bond movie. Here's hoping you all have a wonderful evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrewer Posted November 24, 2006 Share #13 Posted November 24, 2006 Not to mention the extra-special "day after" sandwich that Thanksgiving always spawns: Sliced turkey layered with buffalo mozzarella, spiked with sun-dried tomatoes, and homemade mayo and sesame seeds, on fresh-baked wheat bread...all washed down with Tetley's mild cask ale. YUM! Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gberger Posted November 24, 2006 Share #14 Posted November 24, 2006 Well, there's always: Turkey hash, turkey stew, turkey fricassee, turkey au-gratin, turkey surprise, turkey a la king, turkey soup, turkey lasagna, turkey saltimbocca, turkey salad, turkey/broccoli stir fry, etc., etc - - and served up with the left-over dressing, bourbon sweet potatoes and tomato aspic. (burp!) Seriously, a good turkey sandwich with mayo and cranberry sauce is an excellent post-Thanksgiving lunch. Happy Thanksgiving Plus One Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted November 24, 2006 Share #15 Posted November 24, 2006 ...a turkey sandwich or cobb salad at work for Monday. Gabble-Gabble!!! ...What part of the bird is the "cobb"...? The mind boggles! Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gberger Posted November 24, 2006 Share #16 Posted November 24, 2006 Bill - A classic Cobb salad consists of: assorted greens; chicken breast; bacon; avocado; blue cheese (Stilton or Shropshire); hard boiled egg; tomato; and red onion with a vinaigrette dressing. Substitute turkey for the chicken! (I wonder what happened to the olives, anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, smoked salmon, capers, serrano, and chorizo that were left out ?)

miami91 Posted November 24, 2006 Share #17 Posted November 24, 2006 This reminds me of a very funny episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry tries to verify/dispute a friend's claim that his uncle (Chuck Cobb) was the inventor of the cobb salad. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted November 24, 2006 Share #19 Posted November 24, 2006 I thought the turkey got Presidential reprieve this year, or was that just another inhaled but never swallowed her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron110n Posted November 24, 2006 Share #20 Posted November 24, 2006 ...What part of the bird is the "cobb"...? The mind boggles! Regards, Bill Hi Bill, It's the bird's white meat chopped, with Romaine Lettuce, Fresh Chopped Fried Bacon, Chopped Blue Cheese, Croutons, Red Pepper, Slices of Hard Boiled egg and Avocado, = California Cobb Salad. Here's the recepe for the Dressing: 1 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 2 ounces King's Choice® Danish Blue Cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup) 1 tablespoon lime juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper "At home I'm good with Ranch Dressing" =) One among my favorite salad. Bonappetit!!! It was formulated in 1930 at the Brown Derby in Hollywood and Vine, CA by Mr. Cobb. How it was formulated has many stories. All I know is that it started from a drunk Holywood elite costumer demanding for food at closing hours. Mr. Cobb put together what's left at the kitchen and it became the Cobb Salad.
