I am a good little doobie.

[boston bean]

I got the turkey roasting and am eating with my husband and no one else.

I wanna live. I don’t wanna kill anyone.

I know there is a lot of us doing the exact same.

Thank you!

[ret5hd]

1. Me and spouse...

Alone in the house.
Thinkin’ we might
Have a fire to douse!!!

[livetohike]

2. Same here. There are usually 14-17 of us, but this

year it is just the two of us.

[The Roux Comes First]

3. A Little Doobie Would Be a Welcome Addition!

[Paper Roses]

4. JUst me and my cat.

Medical professionals in the family are at two different hospitals helping the Covid 19 patients.
I will not be celebrating a day of thanksgiving, I will be worrying all day and for weeks to come. They expect a large spike of cases in the next 3 weeks.

Can't get this out of my mind. Keep safe everyone. Please wear your masks, social distance and keep close to home.

5. Chicken corden blue casserole. I am excited. My own recipe.... Enjoy!

I did get invited to a house this morning. I told them no. There were only going to be like 8 people, I do not kn0ow that do not take it seriously.

I was called lame. Lol.

[Ziggysmom]

25. One of my hubs favorite dishes. Can you share your recipe?

I’d rather be called lame and stay healthy any day 🙂

[LizBeth]

27. Ya know... Right. And pretty old, like I care if someone thinks I am lame.

It is funny. K... So there are flavors I like more than others in the dish... So I am making my second batch to compensate. All experimental, but so yum, and then I individually wrp servings to freeze and eat later. Anyway, casserole dish.

I am crock potting 4 lrg breasts, then going to roughly cut up, shred.

13 x 13.

first layer chicken.
spread biggish cubes of ham
16 oz swiss. 1/2 cut in biggish cubes.
dollops and more of prepared hollandaise sauce, generous. (I didn't put enough on first time but I really like it. I used two packets last time, using three packets this time. See how much I use, but yum) *3 was too much, so judgment call.

Repeat layers
chicken
ham
swiss
Hollandaise

Cook 350 for an hour or less

All made up so make yours up with a base.

Much easier than rolling up individual and I get more of the yummy flavors rather than mostly chicken.

6. Same here...

My wife is cooking, I'm working, from home. It's a light day, so easy money. Just me & her along with our 3 yr old granddaughter.

Happy Safe Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

[MerryBlooms]

7. Just me and my sister this year. Baked our pumpkin pie last night,

bird is in the oven.
We usually have few leftovers, but I guess that's one good thing about not having a house full this year. Lots of turkey soup this winter, my sister's favorite.

[SeattleVet]

8. Just got the turkey out of the smoker...

a friend's son snagged a 31 pounder last year. I spatchcocked it (cut it in half) and put half on each rack of the smoker. I figured 13 minutes/lb, which turned out to be WAY too long. Bird was done perfectly in about 3 hours, to the point that the meat is falling off the bones and very tasty/juicy. 3 hours for a 31 pound turkey, with a dry brine then just a sage rub. Smoked with cherry wood chips at 220 degrees.

I'll cut off a chunk for the two of us and we'll take the rest over to the friend's house. We usually spend all holidays together, but this year we'll do it safely so we can enjoy future holidays together.

[SlogginThroughIt]

9. I could use a little doobie.

[Johnyawl]

10. Yup, me and my spouse...

...and our 4 cats.

My sons live out of state, and the only other relative we (used to) see are alone in their house 60 miles away.


Maybe next year.

[PWPippinesq]

11. Feeling grateful

I’ve got a pumpkin pie in the oven which will follow cheddar cheese biscuits, a farro salad, braised leeks and sweet potato cakes, all this with a vegetarian son in mind. It’s fun to “shake up” traditions a bit - well, quite a bit.

I feel very fortunate to have so many things to be thankful for. Warm wishes to all. Stay save.

[evilhime]

12. me and my pups

and of course all of you!

[NurseJackie]

13. Next year will be better. (I hope.)

[Midnight Writer]

14. House is quiet, cat's on my lap, whole neighborhood is empty. Cloudy and cold.

Later I'll put in a frozen pizza, maybe watch a movie.

Usually this is a big bash day for my extended family, a feast prepared by my sister and enjoyed by 20-30 wonderful and interesting people.

This year, everyone agreed.

It's not gonna kill anyone to skip a year.

It just may kill someone if we don't skip a year.

15. My spouse and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal withjust each other.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Mr.Bill]

16. Same here.

We buy a few whole turkeys a year and thaw them the cut them into quarters and refreeze. Today we are having a leg/thigh quarter and a small breast roast. We were going to have just the leg and thigh but we decided to deliver dinner to a few elderly gentlemen who live next to us in the mobile home park so we picked up the breast roast.

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. we had a lovely day here too...5 mile walk with dogs in

a gorgeous forest after breakfast, talked to both our girls with video on my phone, just had dinner, pie comes next. 70 degrees on our deck. our 3 dogs sunning themselves.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all DUers!

[Cha]

18. Yes.. We Good, Smart little Doobies

are right there with you, boston bean!

Happy Thanks!

[ananda]

19. I had thanksgiving on the phone with family members.

Why.. because right now I'd rather be alive than dead.

And every one of them is having their thanksgiving at
home also.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. same here. Happy Thanksgiving Boston bean and to all DU'ers! Hang in there.

[paleotn]

21. You guys and us both

[Bmoboy]

22. Veggie soup and corn muffins

at home us 2

watch the birds out back

feel relaxed

[birdographer]

23. In 49 years of marriage,

we have always chosen to have Thanksgiving dinner just the two of us (we don't have kids). Candlelight, nice music, good china and silver, and a good meal. Never have regretted doing it that way. And now many more people are doing it our way this Thanksgiving! You may actually like the peacefulness of it!

[PJMcK]

24. Just the two of us, too

Simple turkey dinner: turkey breast, sweet potato, roasted Brussel sprouts and a homemade pumpkin pie.

We Zoomed with our families earlier this afternoon and now there's football on the TV.

It's not the Thanksgiving we had hoped for but we have much to be grateful for so it's not a bad day.

26. As a member of the "Romper Room" generation, let me offer my interpretation

And -- like many/most other Boomers -- I recall a different connotation for the word "doobie." Hey, if it's legal where you live and you are a responsible THC user, more power to you. Otherwise, please be discrete. And careful.

Unless, of course, this was a reference to the band, the Doobie Brothers, which kinda' circles back to the non-Romper Room reference.

[ironflange]

31. Romper Room ha ha

I was on RR on 11/22/63, that's how I know where I was when it happened.

[ewagner]

28. Us too....

First time in 45 years we've had Thanksgiving Dinner without some relatives joining us...

32 years since my BIL hasn't been able to join us. He decided not to make the trip independently, we didn't even have to ask him.

[peacebuzzard]

29. just me and the cats,

just the usual every day crowd.
in my cave surrounded by computers and books.
trying to make friends with a frightened stray cat someone dumped here in this area.
the menu:sautéed shrimp/ Italian sauce over mashed potatoes. peas and salad, cheesecake. tea.

[ironflange]

30. Me, the wife, and the two daughters, on Friday

I'm Canadian, but we always have the big turkey dinner for US T'giving. Has to be on Friday because Daughter #2 has to work today; it's really just another day in Canada.

[Squinch]

32. Just the 4 of us in the immediate family. I'm used to three or four times that, but I

really enjoyed this one. It was calm and leisurely, we had a lot of laughs and great food.

Usually I start setting it up three weeks before so I can get everything done around my work schedule. And usually I clean up and dismantle tables etc for days after. Today, I'll take a nice walk, watch a movie, read a book!

This might catch on!
