TY and you too.. nice cartoon... we're in the process of doing all the usual food stuff... I did the pumpkin pie this morning & Mrs. Dallas just put the turkey in the oven. I've also been occupied collecting a bonus one of the online poker sites is giving. I need a break after that production last week.....

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

At this time every year, I think of a list of things to be thankful for, that I believe was expressed by Steve Martin.

The two that stand out in my mind were ...

Be Thankful for no leftovers.

and

Be Thankful that the Indians liked turkey, not buffalo.

Which is a damn shame cuz that stuff is mighty tasty. I tried ostrich the other day too - I am a big fan.

Usual chaos over here in NJ ... no full-size turkey this year, just a breast, with fish, chicken, shrimp and other goodies. Tonight is the smaller dinner before the rest of the fam shows up tomorrow for the the ravenous last supper.

Happy holiday to the rest of ya.

I also love buffalo. I believe, however, that the joke revolves around the idea of an entire buffalo being hoisted onto the dining room table along with the accompaniement of stuffing and cranberries.

BN, welcome to the ostrich meat fan club.

Is ostrich a red meat? Poultry? Something in between? I was wondering that as I wolfed down a second burger.

Our turkey (when we make one) usually sits on the kitchen cart next to the table - when you're ready, just carve off a slice and enjoy. No reason Mr. Buffalo couldn't do the same ... wheel in that sucker on a spit, and get pops to grab an axe or fire up the chainsaw or something. Little Johnny wants a rib? Just reach over and snap one off. A bit of shank? Easily done.

An ostrich is a bird, so it would be considered poultry.

According to this web site, ostrich is considered red meat. While true, it is a bird, the meat is red and resembles beef. That much I knew, the thing I didn't know was ostrichs don't actually bury their heads in sand like you see in cartoons. I wonder where that misconception came from?

Thanksgiving at the nuthouse wasn't too bad. Not much in the way of patients that I had to deal with, and one case that I didn't have to deal with that let me know that my theory about Thanksgiving is correct.

Earlier today a man told his girlfriend that her stuffing was in some way substandard.

She shot him.

They run at 45 mph for as long as 30 minutes! Tasty lil bugger, for such a speedy creature.

And I was gonna say, it seemed more like red meat than poultry, though that may have been implied when I first raised that question.

T day went pretty well here. About 6 straight hours of eating, from shrimp cocktail to two cheesecakes. And then I slammed vodka-tonics until I passed out cold on the floor in front of the TV. Oops.

We had an adventure at my house--or rather, the family member's house where Thanksgiving was held this year. My 80-year-old grandmother started vomiting and having chest pains, so we had to call 911. After some medication and an IV, but no abatement of the chest pain, the EMTs decided she really should go to the hospital for further tests and observations.

Long story short, she's fine, and even a little pissed that they're still keeping her there until sometime this afternoon.
