Thanksgiving 2006

Anybody going out of town this week?  Maybe to another country?  Anybody here working on black friday?  I might be going to another city within the same state and hopefully I can bail from work early wednesday  ;D

Anybody here cooking and inviting others over?  If so, what are you making? I may be staying, depending on if my parents want to go visit some people but I want them to stay so we can eat together as a family. They're not wanting to let me buy a turducken for 100 bucks b/c they say its a rip off...worth it??

forget that turducken, go buy a pig and roast him over a open fire. Turkey is good, but nothing beats a rotisserie pig. 

In my family, we do the "regular" thanksgiving dinner on one table and another table have a bbq pig with other asian food. Its one hell of a feast, a lot of food and a lot of different beers.
