Happy Thanksgiving !

Likewise!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and got to eat a deep fried turkey and apple pie like I made!!

Delicious!!
 
Thanks Mikko! Thanksgiving is sort of like Christmas without presents and Halloween without costumes. Or Kikri without the goat.

It's a harvest festival that commemorates some of the first European settlers in n. America surviving their first winter, and having their first successful harvest, with the help of friendly indigenous people.

Now it's just a great excuse for a lavish party and a great excess of food!

Prime rib at Christmas for this rancher but bird and ham on Tday! And man do I do a good prime rib! Years ago I tracked down a really fat butcher at the meat counter of our store. I got his recipe on how to do prime rib and man does it rock. Logic dictates you would ask a fat butcher, not the skinny one. Logic was right.

Prime Rib...Low and Slow...A good restaurant offering Prime Rib cooks them in a convection oven 1 hour at 350 to sear the outside and then down to 200 and cook 15 minutes per pound and check inside middle at 165...should melt in your mouth like cotton candy.

It’s way more than that to most of us. It was made a holiday by Pres Abraham Lincoln during our horrid war between the States. That we reflect & count our blessings to our creator and our families & others.

Yes I do remember...Like it was yesterday...I also remember that my dad had the truck radio set to play both kinds of music...Country and Western then he set the volume level and threw the channel and volume knobs away...He was a cruel man, but I still enjoy my country music!!! In order for us to go to town dancin' on saturday night we had to steal drip gas from a pump jack 4 miles down the road cuz he kept a lock on the fuel storage tank and never enough gas for us to get to town and back...Cruel and Smart...I sure loved that Old Man and I only complained about feedin in the snow when it was my turn...;):D

When it snowed we stayed home and worked...the Cheese Wagon(bus) didn't come out our ranch road on snow days and it was 14 miles to town so no walking...and my dad figured we would learn enough fixing things around the house and barn it was better than a day in the classroom.

I’m sure you learned as much or more on the ranch. My joke was from my childhood when our father would tell us stories about the hardship of growing up in New York & having to walk to school in the snow. We grew up in S. Cal.. Not much snow here..
 
Actually my dad told us that he and his brothers(10 of 'em)used to hop the train from Globe Arizona and ride it to Miami Az for school...I was born in SoCal and after the WW2/Korean war my dad was in Cali where we were born but moved us to a Ranch in Lindrith, New Mexico next to the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. No walking to school that would be a waste of good Shoe Leather!!!
