10:05 - "The flags are out. Is there a game today?" -Dad (As part of a fundraiser, and even though we don't care much for sports, my parents paid the high school band $100 to put the University Back Home's colors on our front yard every football home game day. Thanksgiving Day is traditionally the big rivalry game between my University and the University Back Home. This year, the game took place in City Back Home) (And, as of 22:42, the University, as usual, won. Huzzah!)
11:11 - According to Dad, today seems like the perfect day to fix the sticky-outy piece of pipe on the stove that's been there for five and a half years. Except that now, instead of being ugly, it's broken. 11:11, how are the potatoes getting cooked?
13:31 - Disaster averted, but Little Brother needs to go back to kindergarten for basic cutting skills. Parchment paper = fail.
16:28 - Turkey's done and spewing molten grease all over the table. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
18:57 - Top half of the turkey: glorious, bottom half: uh, al dente?

To my American friends: Happy Thanksgiving! Hope your turkey/tofurkey/turducken was as delicious as ours!
To my non-American friends: Happy Thanksgiving too! I hope your day was fantastic without being Turkey Day!

Glad you had a delicious turkey and that your home team won. My MacDonald's Cheeseburger - a rare treat from my son - perhaps left a little to be desired but then Thanksgiving isn't exactly a British custom. We are much better at moaning!
I was fascinated by the tofurkey. I just cannot imagine what it is like. I'm more familiar with the turducken although I've never actually eaten one.
I've never understood tofurkey either... A large chunk of a bland and rather gelatinous substance molded in the shape of a dead bird. Unappetizing, if you ask me. I don't mean to offend any vegetarians, but I just can't get used to either the taste or texture of tofu. I prefer a real turkey.
