[TheForge] Happy Thanksgiving, All...

[Jerry Frost]

Oh goodness Phlip!

I just put the bird in the oven. With Deb and I the only ones here I looked
for the smallest turkey I could find, about 11 lbs.

I'm doing another of my experimental things this year. The bird will be
glazed with orange marmalade/butter mix and the stuffing is: Sage sausage,
Walla Walla sweet onion, G. Smith apples, pears, cranberries, dates and
dried pineapple filled out with a couple packages of Stove Top for body.

There'll be a couple sweet potatoes with maple syrup, Allspice, cinnamon and
a pinch of mace moistened with white grape/peach juice.

Steamed broccoli.

Pumpkin pie for dessert.

I'm thankful I: Live in the US, met Deb and she said yes, have parents that
taught me respect and responsibility, have good friends. To name a small
skimming of what I'm thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Frosty
