Audacity of Truth

"We were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values."

Thanksgiving Eve open thread
Let’s talk turkey: How big is yours? Dad’s cooking a 15 pounder. That’s down considerably from what he used to cook, but we’re doing ham this year for Tgiving as well.
As if we don’t have enough food already on the menu in the first place!

My sister and her late husband used to own a meat market, and every year we’d have turkey, ham, and roast beef. Fortunately, my parents had a lot of grandkids and great-grandkids to eat it all.
I like turkey, but I think ham’s my favorite holiday meat these days. I glaze mine with a sauce of orange juice, bourbon, and brown sugar.
Now I’m hungry…
Anthony – I’m a turkey girl all the way, but your ham glaze sounds pretty darn good
23 pounds of turkey for us, with all the side dishes, I am hoping this will feed 22-23 people.
We will have ham and a 15-16 pound turkey for Christmas. We never know how many will be with us on that day. With children, grandchildren, great grands, in-laws, and the family keeps growing.
We use a sweet potato and brown sugar glaze for the ham. Really special.
Have a happy one!
We are doing just a turkey breast, there aren’t many of us, and we all prefer the white meat (raaacist!). We’ve got it down to where we are out of leftovers by Friday afternoon, so I don’t have to make turkey lo mein, turkey lasagna, turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, turkey sushi, turkey fritatas, turkey pad thai…etc. over the next week or so.
I hope everyone has a happy, and safe, holiday!
I am liking Anthony’s glaze too. Sounds very good.
Carol that is a huge turkey, did you grow it yourself??
I loved this Cajun restuarant we had here, and everytime I went to eat there the chef would visit tables and tell people that he raised the cow/pig/chicken, whatever they were eating. lol 
“raised ‘em on an eyedropper” is what he would always say. LOL
Sev you aren’t a racist!! LOL
Just a typical white person. LOL 
I am having turkey too. Mom will be out and so will my 2 Brothers and some of the grand children, not mine but Mom’s.
Planning on watching the new Star Trek movie if the football games aren’t very good. I am looking forward to the Packers and Lions game. I really do like the Lions QB. We shall see.
God Bless You One and All. May your Thanksgiving truly be a feast of Thankfulness, for all the blessing we have been given. May this appreciation be passed on to your children and grand children from here to Eternity. – Lorica
Wait….you’re having both turkey and ham?? Hold it right there, Missy – I’m afraid that’s no longer permitted.
As the new Federal Administrator of Turkey, Ham, and Edible Assets Distribution Czar, I’m declaring this feast to be Excess Profits, er, I mean, Proteins, and I hereby confiscate the excess. We need to redistribute the wealth, and that includes drumsticks, you know. There are many less fortunate ACORN members who could use this food.
I’ll just take the excess here….the gizzard should be enough for your family. Have to pay your ( ::munch:: ) fair share, ya know..( ::chomp:: ).
Hey, that’s pretty good…Say, you got any ( ::burp:: ) mashed potatoes with this? Rahm really likes them…( ::chomp:: ). And the guys over at the SEIU and UAW need your corn, so hand it over… ( ::swallow:: )
And that pumpkin pie is clear evidence of baking, which contributes to global warming, so I’ll take that and leave you with this citation. You can pay the fine online; just go to www. FATHEAD_czar.gov. By the way, Michelle likes her pie with whipped cream, so I hope you have some. If not, I’m afraid DHS has a special list for folks like you. Right next to Fox News.
Thanks so much for your voluntary contributions and investment in Hope and Change. I’ll be back around Christmas, er, I mean, the Winter Holidays, to make sure you’re not flaunting all this ill-gotten wealth again.
Ooh, a bottle of wine. How’d I miss that. Gimme….
We had our Thanksgiving a week ago last Saturday:18-pound turkey stuffed with sage dressing, smashed potatoes,acorn squash, and peas. I no longer make pies but we do cook pumpkin pudding; all five of our children are grown and gone. We go on vacation over Thanksgiving week. One year we went to Hot Springs, Arkansas; one year we went to Branson. This year we are spending the week in a mountain top condo near Terry Peak Ski Resort in Lead, South Dakota–in the Black Hills. Wishing you all a very blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving!
Bbbut, Mr. Edible Assets Distribution Czar, now that you’ve taken all my food for the, er, ‘greater good’ – of your boss’ administration, what am I gonna do about feeding my own family?? Got any leftovers from that swanky “State Dinner” from last night?
ST, if there’s any malnutrition or illness, wait till you see this great new health care plan we have ready for you. In five years.
Oh, and let’s not listen to this misinformation and distractions about State Dinners. You know the reason you now have nothing to feed your family is because of the mess we inherited, not because of anything we’re doing.
By the way, Axelrod says we need your cranberry sauce as part of the next stimulus….
GWR:
Y’know, I hear there’s this uneducated, moose-hunting, baby-making hick up in Alaska (Where is that, btw?) who has the crazy idea that ST and the rest of us bitter-clingers can best decide for ourselves how our Thanksgiving food is best consumed, and that we don’t need an Edible Assets Czar – or any other kind of czar.
Crazy, ain’t it? Good thing no one will ever listen to her.
More stuffing please. I think I have a ration ticket left…
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!!
If the turkey is going to take 4½ hours to cook at 325º F, how long would it take if we teleported it to Venus, where the surface temperature is around 900º F and the atmospheric pressure is around 1325 PSI? We could then teleport it back, all done. We’re just trying to figure out how long it needs to be there to do a good, succulent Thanksgiving dinner.
