Breast or thigh?

Breast, thighs, and everything in between -- that's what I'm ordering.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thankfully most Americans still celebrate the country on this day... including GOOGLE!

Time for pie! Pumpkin, pecan, apple, pear...

and cranberries... and stuffing... and tofurkey...
A toast to our blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Actual turkey and turkey gravy and stuffing and cranberries and onions and apples...

Happy Thanksgiving!

GOBBLE

NFL Predictions: Titans beat the snot out of the Lions; Cowboys over Seahawks by 10; Cardinals squeak past Eagles by 6.

Hopefully, this will be the last Thanksgiving I spend alone...

Let us pray for the victims of terrorism throughout the world, and those who stand between the terrorists and their objectives.
We Americans have a lot to be thankful for... more than 7 years and no more terrorist attacks on our soil. The Indians, Pakitanis, British, Afghans, Iraqis, Israeli, Spanish and Indonesians... well they can't say the same thing.

If you're hitting the mall tomorrow, don't forget to pick up a copy of this new book for the kiddies, out just in time for Christmas The Winter Holidays : "Mama Voted for Obama!".

From the same author who brought you "Why Mommy is a Democrat"
and "Why Daddy is a Democrat", this book is sure to become a treasured classic.

Remember, it's never too early to indocrinate your kids!

May all of your Dishes Come TRUE! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

As I celebrate today with copious amounts of food, beer & football ,I will remember those that are less fortunate. How about the Jihadis with barely enough falafels & tea to have the strength to blow themselves up?

Thanks for that depiction.
I remember as school kids doing Thanksgiving dress up as Pilgrims and Indians.
We didn't dress up as the turkey or other food, just pretended paper cutouts were them.
We had a lot of fun.
Todays schools try every way they can to deny teaching the reason the Pilgrims came to America.

Whoa, you went all out! Sounds Great!

My little (4'9", 85 pounds) neighbor drove up. She's all camo-ed out and toting a gun about as long as she is (but don't laugh, she's a hell of a shot). I'd call her a Filipino-American, but she doesn't. She says that she's American. Period.

Asked if she could sit in my deer stand, since I'm not there today. Why? "Cause I want to kill one of your big deer."

"But, Darling, they're the same deer that walk through your place."

"Oh, no. I never see one as big as that one you shot."

Fine. Go ahead and good luck. Frankly, it seems totally American to spend Thanksgiving doing what you love to do.

I am not thankful that some woman from Medco Center of Henderson nursing home seems to think that I am her "honey" and calls all the time as early as three AM as she is in Kentucky and I am in Oregon.

I am not thankful that every time I try to reach Medco Center of Henderson for the past 2 years my call is answered by a very age addled client rather than a staff member no matter what number I call.

I would be thankful if someone in Kentucky would cut the lines and blow the cell towers around Medco Center of Henderson so never have to get up at 3am to tell this woman I am not the "Honey" she is looking for.

At least Thanksgiving is a 9am my time this year. For this I am thankful.

Mandy, seeing that you are a true blue cook, I'd like to share my recipe for Brussels Sprouts w/you:

As many Brussels S.s as you like
Italian bacon (Pancetta) cut into smallish pieces
Real Maple Syrup
Olive oil
Rosemary
Salt and cracked pepper

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut the tough end off the B. sprouts, wash them and toss in a pot for steaming.
Steam very quickly/ just until green gets bright
Meanwhile cook the Pancetta until done (not too browned)
Place the b/sprouts into a large enough bowl and toss w/a little olive oil, salt pepper, and a drizzle or 2 of maple syrup. Add the pancetta and toss again. Put in a baking dish and roast until the tops of the sprouts are crisped (depending on how your oven works, about 20 mins or so).

Even people who cannot bear Brussles Sprouts have converted after trying this dish. Oh, for vegetarians or non ham eaters, you can substitute fresh pecans for the bacon. Yummy.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm very grateful for this day with my beloved family and for my LGF family too. Thanks Charles.

Even with the economy tanked, and our security issues, we are so far ahead of the rest of the world, that it's no wonder we're the ones with a national holiday of Thanksgiving.

Mujahideen translates into 'those engaged in the struggle for Jihad.' While 'Jihad' in Islam can mean any endeavor that requires dedication, the term has taken on a militant tone in recent years.

You know (as I don't set the table!), my younger son, when very little, had a high fever/ delirious. He called out, "Ma, I want some of those steamed round green things; they'll make me better." You know how mothers are, I knew what he meant. Fortunately, I had Brussels sprouts, cooked them, gave him a couple .. and his fever went down.

Glad you like the recipe. Happy Thanksgiving!

re: #121 {gettinby}
And you WILL continue to kick Cancer's ass! And that's an order, missy!

Much to be thankful for this fine Thanksgiving morn.
The turkey is roasting and mom's shucking the corn,
Dad's bringing in firewood to place by the hearth,
the kid's are watching re runs of SNL's Wayne & Garth.
The relatives are coming to share in the day,
table talk will be interesting as they all have their say.
The men talk politics and the women talk home
while the kids quietly text, "this is a groan".
The main course is finished and desert's on its way,
"Who wants coffee, who wants latte?".
Its time to count our blessings and to be of good cheer,
and to hold closely all that are dear.

Happy Thanksgiving one and all.

re: #151 NYCHardhat

I'll try to remember that. Thank you.

You're welcome. (And it's true!)

That painting depicts the White Man already beginning to subjugate the Native Americans. They probably marinated the turkey in smallpox.

re: #123 redc1c4
Well I've leave the answer to #1 to India and I believe we can use India as an overland supply route - or at least airbases for airlifts!
Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Happy Thanksgiving to all Lizards, with a special extra-large thanks to Charles for this great place. :)

re: #156 redc1c4

they're still Brussel Sprouts... nasty is nasty.

Aw, try it, you might like it. If not, just eat the Pancetta, rosemary and Maple syrup part. That ought to make you happy.

Cool!

re: #148 Killgore Trout

I would have respected it more if he made a point or at least did something funny. Why wait years after getting banned to do something so petty? I guess like gordon and others he just can't let go.

I have learned as a teacher -- the longer they attach themselves to you negatively...resenting your standards and resisting your approval, the more deeply they truly respect you.
These yoinks are petulant pre-teens who refuse to grow up to a Lizard standard but rail at it because they don't have the courage to become more like Charles (and the Thick-Skins).

re: #155 yma o hyd

Airlifts, mun!
If the US Airforce (with a little help from the RAF!) could keep a whole city alive (Berlin, 1948), then this should be no problem in 2008 ...

which country do you suppose is going to give overflight rights? (hint: none of them *have* to give permission)

where is all this airlift capacity going to come from? which other airlift taskings currently serviced by said airlift capacity can we do without in order to accomplish your tasking?

do you have any idea what the cube and weight of the minimum supplies required to keep a force of 20,000 soldiers in combat is? is that volume capable of being transported by the available airframes?

are the fields at the receiving end capable of handling said volume? how are you going to distribute these supplies to where you actually need them? do you have that infrastructure and it's required supplies in place?

re: #170 Daisy

Aw, try it, you might like it. If not, just eat the Pancetta, rosemary and Maple syrup part. That ought to make you happy.

That's similar to a recipe I've done with Brussels Sprouts -- unfortunately I couldn't find any decent ones. They are yummy.

re: #161 aboo-Hoo-Hoo

Mujahideen translates into 'those engaged in the struggle for Jihad.' While 'Jihad' in Islam can mean any endeavor that requires dedication, the term has taken on a militant tone in recent years.

Language does have a way of mutating, doesn't it? So when do the moonbats get on board?

re: #173 redc1c4

No - I think if one's prepared to think laterally, suggesting to ahve the Indian Army in Afghanistan, then one must also think laterally in regard to supplying said force. I am convinced that such clever minds can be found in both your and our Armed Forces - if there is a will!

re: #174 Lucius Septimius

Brussel sprouts are for Frogs. Keep them off the American table. And you can keep the cauliflower also.

Happy Thanksgiving all and a special extra thanks to Charles for creating LGF.

May the LORD continue to bless America, and give us strength and courage over the coming year. May we be grateful for what we have now, and not take it for granted.

Group claims responsibility for Mumbai attacks.

Guess who?

And the second comment on the CNN article reads: "Obviously the terrorists who did it are, but it must be said that the policies of Bush, Blair, Brown, and the rest are to blame for encouraging terrorists."

My Dad would have called that person a 'yeahbut' (well, after he got through mentioning the person's probable ancestors, likely destination, and various character and physical flaws. Dad worked in profanity like Monet worked in oil paint). A 'yeahbut' always had an objection to whatever was said, but never had an original idea.

Dad said that you could either pull the damned wagon, or ride on the damned wagon, but you couldn't get in the damned wagon's way or you'd get run over.

re: #32 MandyManners

Turkey, stuffing (cornbread, biscuits, onions and celery), giblet gravy (turkey stock, giblets and boiled eggs), corn (sweet and tender cut off the cob in September and cooked with lotsa' buttah), mashed taters, steamed broccoli, Mamaw beans (Navy and pinto beans cooked with ham hock in the crock pot all day), homemade cranberry relish, rolls, tossed salad and a platter of green olives, ripe olives and gherkins. Desert is home-made pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

to quote Guderian:
"Before the first shot is fired, the quartermaster has already decided the outcome of the battle."
"Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare." (all warfare, actually)

amateurs study tactics. professionals study logistics.

at first glance it's a great idea, but all Pakistan has to do to defeat it is close the harbor and the roads we use to supply the Stan, and we're screwed. that's why Juggy's plan to attack the Tribal Areas is doomed to failure, and why you're unlikely to ever hear him mention it again.

There are many strains of Islam, sufis, dervishes, smaller obscure groups with long history and all sorts of traditions. BUt the mainlines of their 1500 year history, and a trillion dollars of Saudi money, are fundamentalist and violent.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Oh, crap I'm sorry - I forgot it's Mandy's table we're fighting over. You can have the black olives (he says, stuffing the cheeseball inside his jacket!).

another sign the retailers are panicking: today's paper had more ads than the usual sunday version, and just about everyone is opening around the time i usually drop off the LNDT... (dawn %-)

Happy Thanksgiving Lizards! I hope you all have many things to be thankful for today, and that you all have a great time with your friends and family.

Sooo... I'm watching the news last night, and they did a segment where they asked a bunch of celebrities what they are thankful for this holiday season. Of course, about 80% of them had to make it political. Specifically, gushing all about HopenChange^TM.

And what is Snoop Dogg thankful for, you ask? That so many of his friends and family are alive and well. Sounds to me like Snoop has a better handle on Thanksgiving than most celebrities.

re: #198 itellu3times

I did a bit of study on the Sufis. They are violent haters equal to the rest. While they have successfully white-washed their actual teachings through analogy with more comptemplative religions, there actual beliefs regarding the killing, rape and enslavement of those that disagree with them are more instructive.

That being said, there are some very small schools of Islam that are more tolerant than the dominating Sunni and Shiia.

Happy Thanksgiving to all lizards, friends and family, neighbors and acquaintences, fellow countrymen and most especially our troops, native Americans who made it all possible, all people of good will throughout the world, and generally all who are not turkeys.

For those who are turkeys, thank you for your sacrifice, past, present, and future.

BBL, got to go help with food prep!

Enjoy Thanksgiving, dearest Lizards.

And an extra big THANK YOU to you, dear Charles, for laboring so fruitfully over this site. I, and others, appreciate you.

Every thanksgiving I round up the singles in my area and invite them to our meal. As my boys, and college girls banter with the singles, I enjoy sitting back, for once, and simply reveling in the ambiance. Thus, thanksgiving.

I'm unfamiliar with some of Mandy's foods, a confession. Here, I serve broccoli with a white sauce, baked potatoes, a pretty loaf of bread that looks braided, turkey, cranberries cooked in sugar, lots of wine for the singles and mulled cidar for the kids. Simple, huh? Oh, the turkey is stuffed with bread, spices, onions and celery -- also simple.

We all have much to be thankful for, Lizards.

Happy Thanksgiving, Lizard Nation!

The local am station has Beck, Rush, Sean, Sportstalk (aka 'What the hell is wrong with the Razorbacks this year") then I think O'Really and Ron Reagan. I'm not sure about the last two, because after sunset the reception craps out.

But for real talk radio you have to have 'Coast to Coast'. Marvelous. Delicious. Just tear a hole in the top of your tinfoil hat and let the lunacy pour right in.

Doing some laundry, be back in a bit. Just wanted to check in and I'll see you all in a few minutes.

re: #225 redc1c4

you should read "Achtung, Panzer!" sometime...and i should go find my copy. Guderian was more of an idea guy than a combat commander. he designed and built the force others used.

Rommel's "Infantry Attacks" is also an interesting read... i should dig out my copy and read it again too.

I'm thinking of getting this book, soon ...

Here's the description:
"In the Second World War, Great Britain, the United States and Germany each produced one land force commander who stood out from the rest: Bernard Montgomery, George Patton and Erwin Rommel. These three armour-plated egos were the greatest generals of the war, and theirs was a very personal contest: the clash of mighty armies perceived as a bout between three men. All three were arrogant and flawed, yet with a genius for the command of men and an unrivalled enthusiasm for combat. All had spectacular success on the battlefield. But their explosive relationships with each other and with their political masters rivalled the pyrotechnics of their tank battles in determining the conduct and outcome of the war. Masters of Battle presents the Second World War as it was experienced by its three most flamboyant, controversial and influential commanders."

Sounds good to me ...
