B. and I am REALLY excited about it! It was a last minute (within last 2 weeks) decision because DH found out he would have the time off from school. So we get to go spend Thanksgiving with his family in NY (haven't done that for 5 years). I am so eager to have an italian turkey dayAlthough this will be the first in 8 yrs that I haven't made green bean casserole

Okay Pumpkinfish, we need to do a little 'splainen please.The expression Italian turkey day is new to me. Special foods or just a lot of Italian heritage at the table? Or ???
So far it's mostly A's so I know you train riders are going to be very busy in the next few days!![]()
ROFL! I laugh out loud because it isn't the typical thanksgiving I am/was used to growing up! Let's just say he comes from a very boisterous italian family. During my first Thanksgiving with him, there were bad words used at their table that I had never heard of befroe (and most from his cousins).It was so funny because I just kept looking over to DH (I come from a proper-mannered Christian family) with these bug-eyes.
The first Thanksgiving was when we were still dating and was only the 2nd time I had met them
Flash forward to 1 year later when my sis comes up to visit us for Thaksgiving (DH and I had just married a few months prior and moved to NY and lived on the same street as DH's family...aka I was used to them by then). Anyways, my sis comes to visit and in the middle of the Thanksgiving meal I look over at her and her poor eyes were bugged out! lol
Anyways, that's italian Thanksgiving to me. As far as foods...YUM! Stuffed mushrooms w/sausage; pastas I can't even pronounce; 2 types of lasagna; wine flowing from every corner; great discussions! Now the cousins are grown up (a lot changes in 9 years since that first meal) and bringing their boyfriend/girlfriends/fiancee around. Needless to say, if you can't tell...I am really excited!!!
A and C. My family is coming to visit, but we're all going out to eat since they won't arrive until mid morning on Thanksgiving and I have a serious gag reflex when it comes to birds with bones and my mom didn't really want to come early so she could cook a turkey. So, we're headed to a buffet at a hotel inside Zion National Park at 4, and I think everyone is excited. We'll have pies and a large assortment of junk food for post coma snacking. So, lucky me, I get to host without any real cooking![]()
A serious gag reflex had me confused for a minute.Then I realized you meant when getting it ready to cook, right? Not eating it!

Enjoy!
I was referring to preparing it, but actually, I do struggle eating poultry off the bone as well. I'm a boneless kind of girl. Although I can eat ribs.It's weird, I know. People have been making fun of me for this for years.
