Happy Thanksgiving!!!
This is what I made to bring to relatives for Thanksgiving. The idea is that it will appeal to the kids, but I’m rather fond of it, too. It’s raw veggies and a dill-flavored dip.
I hope it’s obvious what it’s supposed to look like:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all!!!
[NOTE: Consider this an open thread, as well.]
Very creative
Neo and all the readers hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving, Neo! Grateful for you and your blog (and fellow readers). Hope you don’t mind, but I’m stealing your “turkey platter” idea.
Some good news on the Omarova front. But it is mind boggling to me that a candidate such as Omarova seems to have strong support in the White House. These are extremely dangerous times.

Have to agree with TommyJay here. why would the White House push her nomination? Either to speed Ameria’s decline or as a slap in the face to about 80% of American voters.
And how about our Energy Secretary holding a press conference to announce releasing petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and not knowing how much oil is consumed in America daily?
Fools/knaves no longer covers the options. The new option is “people chosen to destroy our country.”
What a clever way to get vegetarians to eat turkey! Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to you, Neo, and safe travel.
Blessed Thanksgiving y’all!
When the country is in jeopardy from insanely unworkable policies and our foreign policy is a shambles, it’s hard to be thankful. But I’m thankful for this blog as a harbor of hope. For Neo and all her commenters, I send wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.
Now, pass the dressing, please.
Great looking veggieturkey! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, what a beautiful platter. (Can you do it with cold cuts?)
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all…and thanks especially for the incredible blog…
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Neo!
Happy Thanksgiving. Now I have to go to peel rutabaga.
That’s a wonderful dish!
Thanksgiving is a truly remarkable holiday but the demon Democrats are doing all they can to tear down this politically neutral Giving of Thanks, celebrated by families (a disappearing order). Wails of woe of 400 years of Indigenous Peoples’ destruction at the hands of the evil white colonialists, even though some 90% of Indian deaths were due to infectious diseases like smallpox brought over incidentally by the Europeans.
It is our fault now we knew nothing then about microbiology. But no mea culpas from me! And no one says anything about syphilis being a New World only disease.
Y’all have a Happy despite our insane, perilous times.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from the UK and may your republic thrive.
Here’s where I got the idea. There are lots of other sites, too.

Or at least continue to exist!
Happy Thanksgiving!
So who went the Turducken route this year?
Had four generations under one roof today for my maternal side, extended family Thanksgiving. The oldest generation, my parent’s generation, has been getting fewer in number the last decade, but the youngest is now being born.
I felt way different this year than last about Covid and large group gatherings.
I was way less concerned about Covid this year, than I was last year at Christmas, at the same house, with the same general group. Quiet a few from that family, myself included, had Covid this year, mostly in late summer, and survived. My mother had Covid back in August but is still not totally recovered from secondary effects. There was one ex of a cousin, who had not been around the family for years, that died this summer of Covid.
I was thankful this year when I survived Covid AND I thanked God I had It! It was like a relief to finally face it!
We had pure joy with two dogs and a toddler in a huge pile of autumn leaves this morning.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving, to all!
The turkey was almost too cute to eat.
Glad you got a good picture!

We did not gather a big group this year for various reasons, and only the two sons visiting their grandma (a fortuitous circumstance not often possible) actually had turkey & traditional trimmings (which they cooked for her). Local Son made us Texas BBQ & sides, another son roasted a duck, and my sister had seafood.
Still very American!
God bless the USA!

What a Happy Thanksgiving ~ parts of my family go back to the 1640’s in Concord Massachusetts which was on the Western part of the colonies and the other parts were here by the 1740’s, lots of them and us took part in the various wars from King Phillips War up to the Sandbox Wars of current years. We are Thankful to be here. My wife and I are alone this year, our daughter and her husband, who live here in town, are with his family along with grandsons and we will celebrate with them on Saturday. We did face time with daughter up in Grosse Point Park, MI today and the cute little ones and later with son in Gunnison and his family and we are blessed to have kids who love to cook fine meals and enjoy their families. We are all family who love our great nation and look forward to more generations who will continue though good and bad times to respect the traditions of independence and self government because we do not need kings or other leaders to tell us what we need to think and how to live. Kind of a Texan thing no matter where they are, we have a “Come and Take It !” point of view. and I am thankful for that.
Awesome! Even if it doesn’t appeal to kids I can say that it appeals to me.
For appetizers, I usually have rolled up cold cuts (ham rolled around a pickle spear and Lebanon Bologna rolled up with a cream cheese stuffing) and a rather boring looking platter of raw veggies with a dip at Christmas.
But, this looks so festive that I want to try to create one come Christmas this year.
Thanks for sharing – I hope your holiday was a nice one!
I have a dream…. Maurice Freeland (Jump Kick Man) and Anthony Huber (Skateboard Man) attacked Kyle Rittenhouse with deadly weapons (a boot and a skateboard) in the midst of a riot. Rittenhouse then shot Huber, who died. Should Maurice Freeland be charged with felony murder for Huber’s death?
Neo,
The link for amazon purchases is missing. Thank you.

Hey, I guess our families were fairly close neighbors back then. My earliest ancestor in the New World came over in 1634 and by the end of the decade was one of the original landowners in Watertown, MA.
This year it was just me and my daughter (no Orphan’s Thanksgiving like I usually do, again) so I got the smallest turkey breast I could find and prepared it with a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen, plus mashed potatoes and gravy, and carrots with a butter/ginger glaze. It came out so well I think I’m just going to do separate parts instead of a whole turkey even when I get back to my usual big 10-15 person meals.
All the usual yummy food stuffs.
But one special activity. 33 years ago at Thanksgiving I tried on my mother-in-law’s wedding gown.
Wore it the next year.
Daughter tried it on this Thanksgiving – perfect fit.
She’s wearing it next year.
Story was that my husband’s grandmother vastly overpaid for the dress and justified it to grandfather as a ‘useful, will be worn several times’ purchase.
“You’ve got to be kidding.” was his reply.
Well, nobody makes a liar out of Grandma Jones.
Husband’s mother, sister, wife, and now daughter wearing the dress.
There is still much to be thankful for.
