Status: offline 		PBM, your abundance of wine will parallel nicely with the typical abundance of food, my vote is pick one or two for tonight, then work you way through the others with the leftovers. Let us know what you think paired overall the best, Thanksgiving pairings seem to be so subjective. I think I'm going with the Grenache Rose and then will dig out others from there. Have a great dinner all around, see you next week.

Happy Holiday everyone, and to our friends abroad, Cheers to you, we can all be thankful for good conversations past and future.

Just think of us Europeans slaving away at work.

Just make sure you drink some damn fine wine.  It would be a shame not to.

Got good and drunk last night with my brother, as is customary before having to go to any family function.  Peeling potatoes with a hang over is not fun.

Status: online 		Happy Thanksgiving to all.  I know we're not serious about politics and religion here, but for those so inclined, here is a nice poem that we might wish to consider around our dinner tables:

a poem by Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer, an African-American poet writing at the turn of the 20th century. Her generous, hopeful view of Thanksgiving is made even more remarkable by the suffering and discrimination she endured as an African-American in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Thanksgiving

Let us give thanks to God above,
Thanks for expressions of His love,
Seen in the book of nature, grand
Taught by His love on every hand.

Let us be thankful in our hearts,
Thankful for all the truth imparts,
For the religion of our Lord,
All that is taught us in His word.

Let us be thankful for a land,
That will for such religion stand;
One that protects it by the law,
One that before it stands in awe.

Thankful for all things let us be,
Though there be woes and misery;
Lessons they bring us for our good-
Later 'twill all be understood.

Thankful for peace o'er land and sea,
Thankful for signs of liberty,
Thankful for homes, for life and health,
Pleasure and plenty, fame and wealth.

Thankful for friends and loved ones, too,
Thankful for all things, good and true,
Thankful for harvest in the fall,
Thankful to Him who gave it all.


May you and your family have a happy, healthy, and blessed Thanksgiving.


Gratefully,
Bob

Status: online 		The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the things I miss about the time I used to live in the US. I had no family there but many friends invited me for thanksgiving and it quickly became one of my top three favorite holidays of the year (together with Easter and Christmas).

I used to go home for Christmas and Easter, but of course I was always in the US for Thanksgiving (as nobody would be celebrating anything back home), so it became a time of fond memories about the friends over there.

This is now a faint memory as it ended 17 years ago, but I can still taste the turkey...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

(And no, I was not serious about the "two-buck chuck". Although after a whole turkey and a few bottles of Zin or PN, it might not make that much of a difference... And you only get to spend $2.99...)

Even better, Maestro  -  it's really $1.99!  And as of this post, it was still #2 on the CT consumption report (and I thought CT'ers were above that!)
