Getting his feeding trough dusted off for Thursday.

what a turkey! (the bird isn’t bad either)

Don’t be surprised Clayton

To me, the only thing funny about today’s strip is the nervous expression on the turkey in the first panel.

This will be good for a trip to the emergency room. I can see it now. A rice monster explodes from his stomach and starts singing ♫Hello my baby…♫

I’d rather have ham.

Eat like an elephant=crap like an elephant

My days of gorging on Thanksgiving are long behind me; but somehow I end up cooking most of the meal.

I stopped eating Thanksgiving leftovers. I quit cold turkey.

Didn’t Alka Selzer warn folks about eating too much?

I took that info as a cautionary tale.

Quoth the turkey, I’m getting suspicious.For the hunter cried “He’ll be delicious!”To die that the livingMight keep up ThanksgivingMakes me wish I weren’t so nutritious!

I believe the professionals uze boiled cabbage.

This has got to be so hilarious to anyone in a fourth-world country.

What kind of parent teaches their kid to eat to excess?

That’s not funny in any way!

Only downside – Giant sphincter stretching poops…

Reminds me of an episode of Bonanza where Little Joe enrolls Hoss into an eating contest and then starves him for weeks. Of course, Hoss loses because his stomach shrank so much, he couldn’t eat much. The episode ends with Hoss pigging out.

A big one picked up Wednesday? Will there be time to roast one that big? Split it instead of stuff it and it will roast faster. (Split side down). My nose doesn’t work as well as it used to, but my memory smells that kitchen perfume just fine.

Husband is Christian. I am Jewish. Only holiday both families wanted us for was – yes, Thanksgiving. My solution was for us to make Thanksgiving dinner and have both families. (One problem being that his family always ate out for holidays while mine ate home.) He insisted we could not do it. Back then lived in a 3 room apartment. Ran 2 tables lengthwise up the living room and I cooked everything. We continued to have both families in for Thanksgiving dinner for about 30 years – then we had bed bugs and decided that we could not have anyone in the house as we did not where it came from.

So since then I have been cooking more or less the same dinner (less of each item) for the two of us for Thanksgiving. Bought our turkey middle of last week. Bought the rest of what is needed last Friday. Now I just have to deal with the mess in the dining room and clear it out for us to use. (First year we made dinner just for ourselves husband insisted we should just eat in the kitchen – I pointed out if did that he would not have any place to deal with carving the turkey. )

And we WILL be using the good china!
