FOH members Thanksgiving Plans?

FOH members Thanksgiving Plans?  Let us know 

I love the whole concept of Thanksgiving and know how much our US members get into it. Let us live vicariously through you 

If you get a chance over the 4 days, light up a Nudie or BR and post the photo in the Faces of Fábrica 5 Competition as the personalised Media Rueda of cigars gets drawn December 1. I know our team in Danli is loving the photos and upon their return from vacation they will document the rolling of your cigars. It will be truly special. 

Hell, Nudies/BR cigars or not, post your Thangsgiving photos on this thread and go into the draw for a 10 count box of BR 109. 

Have a great Thanksgiving! Let us know what you are up to!

Gym in the morning to stretch out the appetite for the annual family Thanksgiving lunch. Bring a Fab5 bundle and we'll set two extra plates for you and the Mrs.

Family is at my house this year. Football will be on. My kids will be running around going nuts. I'm holding the baby while wifey cooks. Great holiday. There will be a traditional cigar after dinner. Can't wait. Now to choose what to smoke…

Morning will be hectic between wife cooking her dishes, and me watching the kids and trying to get them and myself ready and helping her out in anyway I can. Heading out to my parents for a few hours seeing my brother will be fun since I haven’t seen him in a few months (he lives in a different state) then after heading to her family’s and eating there. Hopefully watching some football between all that. Will be a great time and of course delicious food. I need to pull out a cigar to smoke for after dinner, and decide what bottle of wine to bring over. What a great holiday!

20 for dinner at my house. I'm the chef. It's my favorite day of the year. The best part is having the family together.

We do the traditional Thanksgiving but the real event is THE GAME on Saturday!  We have a few families over for pizza, drinks, snacks, and rivalry football. Go Buckeyes!!!

Had a busy workday on Monday, will need to put in some hours at the office part of Tuesday, but by afternoon I "should" be free from business obligations until next Monday. We're hosting lunch on Thursday so wife is prepping the cooking shifts. In-laws will be coming over and spending the night in our guestroom Wednesday so mother in law can be a part of cooking & table prep on Thanksgiving. From there, football, nap on couch, wine, desserts, and just chilling at the hacienda. The "fun" starts early Friday morning when I take a one way flight to Raleigh, NC to buy a car (2008 Land Rover LR3). Assuming no issues, I'll spend Friday night at a hotel in Kingsport, TN and rise early Saturday to make the 6.5 hr journey back to my home in west TN. Should be able to catch the 2nd half of Georgia/Georgia Tech football game & all of the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. 

I've been fighting a cold for the last week so not sure what cigars (if any) will be a part of the holiday. Sucks because the weather is going to change soon & I'll be in the mood for a smoke but not willing to freeze my ass off to enjoy one. Oh well, better for aging I guess...

Love his holiday & hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable time with family, friends, etc.

I grew up 30 miles from where the Pilgrims landed and went to school with several Pilgrim descendants.  My parents' house is steps away from colonial properties.  That is to say I like Thanksgiving in its most traditional sense.  

There's a turkey farm a few miles from my house and it's a new tradition for us to buy a turkey there.  Waiting in line at 7 AM, but worth it!  I quarter the turkey and remove the thigh bones before cooking.  Saves many hours of cooking.  Browning and doneness can be controlled on each piece.  The carcass, neck, and thigh bones are used for broth ahead of time.  That broth can be used in stuffing, gravy, and then frozen in the portioned vacuum bags for future use.  I usually done them in 3 cup bags for paella making. 

We serve the meal around 1 pm as our guests are elderly (mom, aunt & uncle) and don't want them driving at so dark out.
