You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!

KGON will be playing that at 7:00pm tonight!

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!

Ahhhhhh, nothing like a self induced Tryptophan Coma!

Happy TurkeyDuck Day to all......

Yes, duck. You did read that right. Father currently has a duck roasting in the oven and I am sitting in my audio lab getting nauseated by the greasy smell coming up the stairs. He's also cremating salmon (yet again) on the BBQ. I can't even stomach salmon when it's cooked decently, let alone rendered as pure carbon.

Just to play it safe I'll probably stick with the salads and veggies here tonight. I think when I get back to the apartment I'll slip a turkey TV dinner into the microwave, in order to "keep it real"............

I also see Dennis has drained the last of the punch and Mum has just finished hollering at me to come down and make some more.

(1- 2 litre bottle of 7-up
1- 64oz. bottle of Cranapple juice
1- 2 litre bottle of ginger ale, I like Canada Dry
3 cups Seagram's Sweet & Sour mixer
a can of apple juice concentrate
Mix it all up in a big punch bowl. Float a bunch of scoops of vanilla ice cream on top, if you are into that.)

Eat hearty!!

*walks back to computer with face turning green*

Uggghhhhh......duck......Please if there is a God NO MORE DUCK.............

*bleaahhhbbhbhllblllllaeeaeaaaaaccchhhhhh.....................*

Oyyy........

DUCK!!!

What the $(%*&($!

Well, we have had Ham sometimes, but usually it's Turkey. This year was a good one. Everybody that matters is here, and we all ate, talked, and are now relaxing.

Hope all of you and all of yours are happy and healthy.

Happy Turkey Everybody!

Hope everyone had a fantastic thanksgiving!

I dragged my mother to my cousin's, and took the turkey fryer ... I don't think I've ever seen a 12 pound bird disappear so fast.

We had a great Thanksgiving hope all is well with everyone around here.

We ate: a Traeger'ed Turkey. Spiral Honey glazed ham, a great dish of sweet potato's and onions cooked in a dutch oven that was wonderful. And my new favorite party snack/holiday appeitizer. Scotch Eggs. You wanna get people talking at your next holiday gathering make up a couple of dozen Scotch Eggs.

Scotch Eggs recipe:

Hard boiled eggs (although I prefer them to be soft boiled) Peel the shells. Then in a mixing bowl mix your favorite ground sausage, bread crumbs, and an egg. Then mold your sausage around the egg and deep fry or pan fry. Awesome truly fn' awesome.

My stupid aunt served a To-furkery for thanksgiving dinner. She is such a dingbat, she forgets that she is the only vegitarian in the WHOLE FAMILY!!!! That is the LAST time I will have dinner at my aunt's.

Sorry, If I seem a bit moody but having to eat a turkey made entirely of tofu really didn't hit the spot. Whoever invented To-furkey should be shot!!!!!Thank god we had a large selections of pies to choose from.

Spent Thanksgiving in Manzanita with just my family. We pre-ordered our dinner through New Seasons then packed it in ice and enjoyed our big meal on Wednesday and had our Thanksgiving Day meal throughout the day.

What a relaxing time with just my family. They are certainly my favorite people to be around. Did some reading and plenty of walking on the beach and just chillin'.

We didn't need to cook anything just re-heat it and enjoy.

We've been going to Manzanita for some 15 years now and it's still a pretty quaint and quiet retirement town. However everyone and their dog (literally) was taking that after-meal walk on Thursday.

The town is growing but hasn't lost its overall laid back feel.

I have never had To-furkey. From the review above, I take it that it does not emulate the flavor or texture of turkey very well. Does it taste like turkey at all?

Buns, ever hear of "Hungry-Man" Tv-Dinners? I would have beat feet to the nearest store and got me a turkey dinner. When one is one a special diet one should not impose same on other friends and family. It tends to be resented and generate ill feelings. I would ask your aunt if it happens again if she would mind serving both. Then if she chooses not to you can then politely bow out!

"Sorry, If I seem a bit moody but having to eat a turkey made entirely of tofu really didn't hit the spot. Whoever invented To-furkey should be shot!!!!!"

That's what I was telling my [now] ex-girlfriend S-- the Snake circa 2004. Mum made one of those turkey-shaped tofu lumps for Thanksgiving that year, to (obviously feigned) positive response from the rest of my family. That was our first--and last--absolutely meatless Thanksgiving. Possibly the first time I can remember going to Shari's for a half-decent Thanksgiving chicken dinner afterward! (They had run out of turkey by the time I arrived that night.)

Like I have mentioned on this board before, from experience: herbivores and carnivores are enemies BY NATURE. It goes back to when were but little amoebas. There's no humanly possible way to work around it!

I can deal with the vegetarian cuisine. What I find annoying is when certain "evangelical" vegetarians feel the need to impose their food bans on other people who do not agree with the concept. If you want to save yourself some grief, don't go to dinner at these people's homes!! The evangelical vegetarians are not rational people; in college, I heard enough of their propaganda, denial, and nonsense to last a lifetime.

I experimented with the vegetarian thing back in 1995. After a few months, I realized how pointless it was and gave it up. The benefits are mostly of the "feel good" variety; in other words, the economic impacts of people avoiding meat (or all animal products, in the case of vegans) are minimal. Vegetarian dishes are considered specialty items. Most restaurants, especially those of the fast food variety, have very few vegetarian options. If Burger King, McDonald's, et al. were losing a lot of business by not serving vegetarian dishes, one would think that they would put more vegetarian options in their menus. However, when you confront evangelical vegetarians with facts and logic like this, they go into denial and say that there are "conspiracies" by meat producers to make sure that everybody eats meat, and they will refuse to admit that vegetarians are in the minority.

Vegetarian: A very old Native American word that means lousy hunter!

If we weren’t supposed to eat the animals, God wouldn't have made them out of meat!!

PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals!

I could easily go vegetarian. I'm about 95 percent there as it is. I'm just not drawn to meat as I once was and the fact any animal products have cholesterol, some more than others, I simply don't need that.

However I did enjoy some free range turkey from New Seasons this year. If I'm going to eat meat or fish I want the best, local and raised the right way.

I've tasted some tofurky....yuk! But I do enjoy other tofu, rice or soy products that are great substitutes for dairy.

I really don't think it matters if vegetarians are in the minority in the grand scheme of things, because 1) straight meat eaters tend to off themselves from the planet early making any "lead" they have shaky, and 2) eventually the human population of the Earth will reach a point where it is simply not possible to support meat as a major food product any longer.

And thanks to Bush, by the time that happens, the USA will be a second rate nation with its citizens unable to afford meat anyway. But that's okay, because I suspect most of the straight meat eaters were among the 55 million that voted for Bush in 2004 anyway. Heh.

Maybe...

We could end up growing meat_product, in vats, electrically stimulated to get that meaty texture, and leave everything on the planet with a face alone!

Increased focus on stem cell research will deliver many amazing things!

Or Perhaps, Soylent Green ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Aw never mind, I will be the only man left on earth anyway, you may call me "The Omega Man".

"The Omega Man"

Great movie!
