So... Thanksgiving...

[cycling]

Nothing ever happens in the UK.

Well…. Thanksgiving was sort of started by the pilgrims that got out from under the religious persecution in the UK , it would be a bit like celebrating the 4th of July in Britain.

We are a magnanimous people. We will allow you to join in on the festivities.

Pot luck tomorrow in B's neighbour's driveway. About five different ethnic backgrounds. The food is always awesome.
I'm making bread. Everyone likes to break bread.

Thanksgiving is a harvest festival, pretty well everyone has a harvest festival. Got the crop in: LET'S PARTY... cuz we're basically going into hibernation till spring plant.
... MAYBE the pilgrims were the first to call it thanksgiving. What do the Aussie's call it... in April?

... and the Brit's were doing Thanksgiving, or what ever they called it, since for ever... and the turkeys were farmed in the mid lands and they walked them down to London... the Brits call a turkey a walking bird and they gave them shoes so not to harm their feet on the 100 mile walk (the walk from the midlands is NOT why they call them a walking bird... turkeys walk, they don't fly)
The Turks call the turkey a Hindi (indian bird), in Arabic it's a Greek Chicken

I actually don't mind them as a dried fruit...and dried fruits are not my thing.
I usually have a pack of them on bike rides.

Norfolk Island celebrates Thanksgiving Day annually on the last Wednesday in November. During the 1890s, Isaac Robinson, an American trader who settled on Norfolk, proposed an idea of dressing All Saints Church in American-like style for Thanksgiving.

One of the most infamous penal colonies evah. it's 1600 km east of Sydney so the toxic influence is watered down.
The rest of Aus ? de nada afaik.
I do like pumpkin pie, and turkey, and stuffing, and gravy and mashed and adore cranberries...sigh

The other problem is turkeys are big.

Most UK households only have pots big enough to boil a Chicken or steak.

You can’t have turkey without cranberries!

It would be like eating Ikea meatballs without the lingonberries.

The phrase breaking of bread refers to The last Supper where Jesus broke the bread and said eat this as in represents the body of Christ .

You keep sneaking in these religious subliminal messages .

I mentioned once at a communion that Christ may have been a pioneer in creating cannibalism. I wasn’t offered seconds .

Nah. It's just a phrase that popped out of me. I'm not that smart.

 

[crankcall]

Me either , but I’m pretty hungover and rambling .

turkeys walk, they don't fly

I used to think so too, until a turkey dive bombed me and then I needed to change my shorts. (not me on the bike but rather fitting)

Never had one dive bomb, but in the spring a flock of 6 turkeys flew across Deep Bay road in front of me at 3-5’. I passed thru the middle of the flock without contact.

They are big birds.
