Did you see the post I made in recovery? No, because I was responding to your post in OT (and I wasn't sure why you were posting all of this on the OT thread on "What's For Dinner" in the first place?; Recovery is where you should be putting all of these posts.) I'll go over to Recovery and read up on your posts.

A quiet finish to my birthday weekend: Broiled chicken with capers and mushrooms, a salad with walnuts and pine nuts and a great raspberry vinaigrette.

Oh good grief - it appears to be Thanksgiving tomorrow. While the rest of the world will be hard at work, most of you folk will be eating fit to burst and lazing about after that. Then, on Friday, you go and kill each other in department stores.
Please remind me why you celebrate this holiday and tell me what you plan to eat on the day! Hamburgers? Deep fried ice cream?

 Do we have to teach you foreigners everything?? Thanksgiving is a holiday to celebrate our annual shopping day, Black Friday. We are thankful for our Visas and Mastercards with high limits!  Hamburgers and ice cream are for July 4th, silly!! [that is our annual kick the Brits booty day!  ]

While the rest of the world will be hard at work, Easy, there. People on your continent take a lot more days off than we do! Who do you think carries the load of the world economy when you guys are lazing around across Europe? :P

It occurs to me that in a way, Thanksgiving is a celebration of having got away from the Brits. That is two "kick the Brits" days in a year (and possibly some more hidden ones that you haven't told me about).
I could take this personally, you know.

And this year has the longest possible Christmas shopping season since Thanksgiving is on the earliest day possible. That magically generates prosperity according to the late world-renowned economist, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had the foresight to move Thanksgiving around.

I could take this personally, you know. You know what I thought was weird? We were watching A Christmas Carol the other night, and the family was eating a goose and hoping some day they'd have enough money to celebrate with a turkey. A turkey!! An American bird! The height of celebration over there apparently consists of imitating American Thanksgiving with a bird you wouldn't even have without us.  How do you Brits know when to start shopping for Christmas, anyway?

So if your current president wants to improve your economy he needs to move Christmas back a week or two?
I wonder if the rest of the world would cooperate with that...

The origins of Thanksgiving actually go back to some brilliant, insightful Britons who decided sailing in tiny, wooden ships, 3000 miles to a shore none of them had ever seen (no video travelogues back then), invading an occupied land, and hoping against hope not to die by drowning, starvation, conflict, disease, or exposure would somehow be much preferable to staying on an island, where it seems, the hundred years previously had been marked by seeming arbitrary decisions by the monarch-du-jour to prosecute even unto death any of his/her beloved subjects with the temerity to cling to the religious beliefs of said monarch's immediate predecessor.
Hallelujah! Let's eat!

It is not worth getting up that early, fighting crowds and parking, etc. It just has never seemed worth it. Cyber Monday is more my speed. Pajama's, robe, big cup(s) of coffee, kids still asleep......more my ticket.

Anyway, nobody has told me what you'll be eating! I know most of you have turkey, but give me the precise details for your family tomorrow.
