Spider Lady is Tired of Turkey

I, on the other hand was born on Thanksgiving. There was turkey, turkey, turkey, there was enough to last for days. There was turkey in a sandwich with a little mayonnaise. And, for all you turkeys stuffing turkey in you caws, I sending you turkey jerky to exercise your jaws... Check out the turkey recipe on weathat.com. and stuff it with Watkins recipe for popcorn stuffing. Take your turkey and stuff it! I am going out for ham.

Being born on thanksgiving does not mean you have the day off. Because Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month it can fall anywhere between the 22nd of November and the 28th. . No matter what the date is your still getting pie. It could be squash, pumpkin, sweet potato on mince meat. But I promised pie. And if your lucky you will get Indian bread pudding, too. An I was most likely baking it myself. I spent too many years cooking the whole fixings for three days, only to have family gobble for 15 minutes and run back to the ball game. So, Cracker Barrel her I come. For those who haven't tried it, they Cracker Barrel offers a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the "fixins" for $8.69 for adults and $3.99 for children. The feast begins at 11 a.m. at stores nationwide and includes turkey and gravy, dressing, baked country ham, vegetables, pumpkin pie and more. It's no Green Ridge Turkey Farm, but it's pretty darn good. (Most New Englander's have a fond memory of the long lost restaurant in Nashua New Hampshire that served sumptuous Thanksgiving meals.)

Here are some little known Thanksgiving and Turkey Facts:

Turkey is a subcategory of pheasants. They early settlers misidentified them as a type of cock name after the country of origin: Turkey.
