Hey guys...Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U.S. It's the day for overindulging in turkey. Or crab, which is somewhat traditional in San Francisco. As for us, we're having turkey; crab is a bit pricey. Last year, my neighbor gave me a live crab for Thanksgiving. It was really tasty, but it was also the first time I ever had to kill a crab. I really felt sorry for the little guy. He squirmed around on ice in our sink with his little claws all bound together for a couple hours before I boiled him. I think I could easily be a vegetarian if juicy animals just didn't taste so darn good.
Finishing up the advent calendar today. Check out the video tomorrow. I'll include a cutting template, too, in case you'd like to make one. It's quite different from your regular calendars, but one that is a lot of fun and can be made in a day. Plenty of time before December 1st.

ReplyDeleteYes, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Portugal, but we will eat the turkey on Christmas night. Hope you and your family have a great dinner.
We'll have turkey again on Christmas too! I'm going to guess there might be at at least a little seafood on a Portuguese table.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY THANKSGIVING TO STEVE, HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE SUBSCRIBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!!!!!

Sorry if you feel Thanksgiving is just about eating. I think most feel it is time to give thanks for what they have.... including health.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you, yours and all your fans!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, Next time you have a live crab, don't boil him alive, that's cruel. You need to kill him first. Just drown him. Put in a bucket of fresh water overnight, he'll have expired in the morning.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, have a good one from across the water from the homeland the UK. Turkey don't really like it as a meat. Lis my wife and I have had Turkey twice in 30 years. So to all of our American friends Have a great thanksgiving (except my ex wife who lives in Washington and got married to what once my best friend) do I sound a bit ungenerous. I odn't meen to be he and she did me a big favour,so Okay to them have a good one too. Ian
ReplyDeleteGareth...drowning sounds like a slow death! It sounds like the accepted method it driving a knife into their heads. Ew! Ug! Ow! I don't want to kill anything: I just want to buy it neatly packages on styrofoam trays.
ReplyDeleteIan: I'm not really THAT fond of turkey myself. We eat it once a year and have a week's worth of leftovers. Then I'm good for another year. Now crab? OMG...if I could afford it, I would eat it every day!
Not for Christmas Steve. That's more of a new year's eve food. For Christmas we eat Codfish, Turkey and Octopus. And tons of wine, of course ;-)
