Time to get all sappy like.

As always, I'm thankful for a happy family. Friends to share life's ups and downs, and cooking exploits, with.

And most of all... a wife who puts up with all the shite that is me :smiley:

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of eggdom out there.

    I am most thankful for my family.  My grandparents who adopted me, raised me, and by example showed me what it is to love someone sacrificially.  Because of all that they gave, I am the person I am today.  

    My wife and Norah Grace, remind me everyday by their actions and deeds that I am blessed beyond measure.

    I am thankful for Nichole, as I am sure you are too. 

    I cant imagine having to suffer you, without her having already taken care of the rough edges first over the years :smiley:

    Hope y’all are having a great one, my friend.

    And enough Turkey threads to keep me busy until next Thanksgiving.

    My wife, my parents, my wife’s parents, and all our  health.
    The fact that I was able to share Thanksgiving with all of them all around the table having a good time laughing was fantastic.  With ages of 89, 85, 81 and 76, I know things can change in a second. Who knows how many more times we will be able to do it, but I am thankful I was able to do it again!

    Family. Both my parents are alive and healthy for their grand children. We spent the last 4 days at my parents house with my 2 brothers families and their 6 children and my 2 children and my 4 yr old daughter is staying another week to hang with the grand parents. They live in the villages in Florida and we all drive around in golf Carts the whole time and do all sorts of crap. My dad explaining golf to his youngest grandchild my little boy.

    Kundan Lal Gujral and his comrades at the original Moti Mahal in Delhi are usually credited with putting "tandoori" food on the map. Butter chicken  is often likened to chicken tikka masala, but it aint the same! I have many fond memories of chowing down on butter chicken and fresh naans as a kid.

    Wish I had caught this on Thursday.

    Im convinced that my family is filled with some of the best people on the planet. You would be hard pressed to find a more genuine, caring and love filled group of people anywhere. 

    This year, my wife and I discovered new meaning to the word love.  Excited to share these first holidays with our son.


    I've met you (briefly), and lets just say that thank God you married the woman you did :smiley:

    I hear ya though. caliprince's first cry was the sweetest sound I've ever heard. And I've heard alot of babies cry.

    I’m thankful that all of the Thanksgiving food is finally gone. This was day 4 and the last day of eating it. Thank goodness.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
