In summary, the conversation included greetings and well-wishes for Thanksgiving, discussions about food and family gatherings, and a shared appreciation for old boats. There was also a mention of a rib roast being a tradition in place of the traditional turkey, and some playful banter about cooking methods and experiments. Overall, the conversation had a positive and thankful tone.

I learned this year, that you should never discuss, nor post pictures of your turkey experiments, on Facebook...

"Holy moly, it looks like a turkey wearing a suicide vest..."
"you over cooked that turkey"
"are u nuts or something ?"
"Only a newbie put stuffing inside the turkey"
"Kinda cubist, Picasso style."
"Bonus use: you will need significantly fewer slaves to roll it from the chicken quarry to the henge site."

I am thankful my lovely bride of 26+ years made a chocolate pie and instead of using whole milk, used half and half, it was like having the whipped cream already in the pie...

happy belated T-day to everyone...
