Not for tacos. And we're talking £7 for a cheese and tomato sandwich here... Rolling eyes

Fortunately I am only a 2 minute walk from Manchester City Centre fast food heaven. *ponders*

Pizza?

I haven't had a kebab in about 3 years, it suddenly occurs to me... Errr

No particular special reason I'm eating so many pancakes today, just fancied them.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

Thanks! I had a great time at the neighbors' family gathering. Good people.

What IS Thanksgiving? Is it a religious thing, Mormon or something?

What IS Thanksgiving? Is it a religious thing, Mormon or something?

It began more than 400 years ago as a harvest festival and giving of thanks to God, but the Pilgrims didn't have much more to do back then than grow crops and pray that they'd survive another year. Now it's a secular holiday celebrated by almost every American family. It's second only to Christmas when it comes to family gatherings -- almost everyone spends the 4th Thursday of November with family or friends. Most people take Friday off work as well, giving them a 4-day weekend.

It's traditional to cook a huge turkey and more food than could possibly be eaten in one sitting. The women spend all day (and often the night before) in the kitchen while the men drink beer and watch the (American) football games that have been scheduled just for the occasion. It's one of those feel-good holidays where everyone forgets their troubles and enjoys the company of friends and family, without all the commercialism and expense of Christmas.

Then we eat turkey sandwiches for a week.

Sounds funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Apart from the football.

If I celebrated Thanksgiving, I'd watch Planes, Trains & Automobiles every year. I'm thankful for that. :D

Does sound fun!!

I love it!

I might have my very own Thanks giving next year, use it as a trial run for Christmas.

What better excuse to have the family round and eat, drink and be merry
