It's a little after 9PM here. I imagine most of you are back home safe or home if you didn't travel. I hope you all had a nice, satisfying day. Share some highlights with us if you want. I had two highlights. The wonderful meal my wife cooked and the side dishes the family brought. The other was sitting with my 5 month old grandaughter watching football while her parents ate their Thanksgiving meal.
First time in since “I don’t know when” that our entire family got together for Thanksgiving!! Wife and I were the ones to travel as all the young’ns, live in the Twin Cities. Got together for a brunch thing. Started with a Bloody Mary bar with all the trimmings, boiled eggs, shrimp, mushrooms, beef sticks, cheese chunks, olives, salami, celery,pickles, horseradish! Awesome! Kinda fun when grandkids are bringing food to the pot-luck! SIL smoked a turkey, had a eggs benedict bake, jalapeño hash browns, homemade caramel rolls, fried eggs on the smoker along with the bacon and sausage! I would have included pictures, but you guys would eat your computers!! Truly a Blessed Thanksgiving! Peace to you all!

I kinda like the concept of breakfast for Thanksgiviing celebration. Lots more casual than a dining room table

No kidding! Having grown up with Grandmas china and silverware, paper plates and red solo cups, certainly allows more time for interacting with the grandkids ( aged 4-20) and no dishes to do! And you know what? It all tastes the same! (Sorry Mom!)

I agree with you Flytier.

I agree with you too Thomer. So much work and prep goes into a meal that lasts an hour. The people putting it together work 2-3 days or more. It's not a holiday for them.
Maybe a cornish hen for each person, potatoes, gravy, and a salad as sides, on paper plates. Then the cook can go watch the game and fall asleep too.

Went to the local Walmart thinking 🤔 it's gonna be elbow to elbow shopping nuts! Nope just a handful of people passing out from food sticker prices! I think most people are being cautious, getting a few things for the kid's and immediate family and holding on to their money.
