Well, I guess it's going to be Cracker Barrel this year. I talked to my sister a few minutes ago, and she said they, my nephew and his family in Deer Park, my nephew in Texas, and great niece from Wisconsin, are all going to Mexico for the week of Thanksgiving. Think I'll ask one of my buddies that likes the Barrel if he wants to go.
 
She thought I knew, and think she mentioned it a while back that it was possible. It was all contingent on her husband's PET scan result being good, which fortunately it was. He has had cancer of the throat and tongue, so she has had that on her mind since April. I couldn't go with them anyway, as I don't have a passport, plus can't afford to after spending a lot on getting my vehicle repaired.

I've been to Cracker Barrel on Thanksgiving several times before when they were away, and found it to be satisfactory. I like to go later when it's not so busy.

Things sometimes go that way, but at least you do have backup plans.

Quite honestly since Christmas follows so close on heels of Thanksgiving as one gets older am not so bothered about missing big family get together of former. In just a few weeks entire gang will be together again so can catch up, have nice big meal, etc..
 
Speaking of Wegmans

We finally have one in city and if family doesn't nail down plans by upcoming Friday that's likely were Thanksgiving dinner will be sourced. *LOL*

Even if have to pack things up and take to Mother's place for meal. Those DoorDash and Uber Eats people are forever leaving insulated tote bags lying about spare so am good to go.
 
Happy Thanksgiving all

Don't forget to take pictures of your festivities and what you're cooking or any other aspect of today that you'd like to share.

I'll be micro convection roasting a 20 pound turkey in the caloric gas micro convection oven that's in the outdoor kitchen.

This might be the last year for the caloric it's getting very rusty in the oven liner. I have a spare range over at the warehouse. I'm gonna refurbish this winter and change it out. It seems they only last 10 years or so outdoors even though they're protected from the rain The humidity is just too much and anything that burns gas of course makes metal parts rust a little faster.

I baked a couple pies last night in the Thermidor micro thermal convection oven in the kitchen apple pie took 10 minutes. The pumpkin pie took 14. I probably should not have pre-bake the crust to get a little browner than I like, but I'm sure it'll be good.

I have everything ready to go. The turkey breast will go into the oven at 12:30pm. Yesterday I baked the Apple Pie and prepared the Yam casserole and dressing which will only need to be placed into the oven finish heating while the turkey breast rests before carving and while I make the gravy and boil the potatoes to mash them and cook the Petite Peas and Pearl onions. I made a doz Crusty Dinner rolls and of course the traditional Lime Jello salad.

I hope that everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!
