What time was your Thanksgiving dinner?

[trof]

I guess we're in a rut.
Miz t. and I usually start the attitude adjustment hour around fiveish.
Dinner/supper is served around 7:30.

Today, we were invited for 1 p.m.
The bar was open.
I really hate to drink alcohol before my appointed evening time.
Just messes me up for whatever remains of the day.
I get sleepy.

OK, today was a special occasion. I sipped a Scotch & soda.

We ate around 2:30.
It was delicious.

A couple more drinks, during and after.
Home at 4:30.
And totally effed up.
Stuffed at a time when I'm usually getting a bit peckish.
What the hell, fix another drink.

So now I'm half in the bag, still stuffed, and it's a while before bedtime.

Next year we're hosting, and it's a damn evening meal.
phew

I know...people have worse problems.
I'm SUCH a whiner.
:shrug:

1. Noon

My wife had to go to work so we had to have an early feast.

25. Noon, theoretically. We actually began eating around 1, but

noon was a good try to get everyone there at one time.

When I hosted it we ate at 7 pm. I wanted that damn lameass Dallas game OVER with before dinner, and I got us all seated at ONE table too. It was fun.

I might do it again when the really little kids get a bit older. The nephew who hosts Thanksgiving currently has two really small kids and they just would rather have us all over than to drag the kids out with all their little kid paraphernalia. Don't really blame them.

So we had about 20 people, and a ton of food. And a very nice time.

2. Mine was 1PM

I had only one glass of wine with my dinner. I didn't feel like drinking much. Very, very good dinner. :-)

3. 6 pm.

We do have three five-year-olds.... They must be fed at regular hours. For that matter, so do I.

4. 3: 15 pm in my basement

I could handle my fundie sister but not my jerkwad brother Don.
Soon as he opened the door he started crackin fat jokes and having his five and seven year old say punk crap. Honest he whisper crap like rush would say into thier ear and have them repeat it to me.
So saving grace I hid out and I am hidding out in my basement.

5. Yep, evening meal. To Heck with that 6am turkey in the oven jazz. n/t

[flamingyouth]

6. We ate at 1

:hi:

[Ekirh]

7. 2:30 P.M

Which is about right. . . we usually eat Thanksgiving between 2:30 and 3:00 P.M each year. Since we usually eat dinner around 4 P.M anyway . . . it's not an unusually early time.

8. Normally we eat early in the afternoon.

Today we ate @ 2pm.

9. We ate at 2:30 - a little earlier than planned

because my new oven cooked a 12 pound turkey in record time.

[NMMNG]

10. I got up at 3pm (I work nights so I sleep days)

My roomie and her SO were working on the bulk of dinner so I had very little to do. I showered, dressed and began my laundry. I had a Black Russian and cut off a few slices of the Unturkey w/ stuffing I'd cooked the previous night to nuke for dinner. In the meantime I went to Blockbuster and ultimately ended up renting Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (The one with Johnny Depp). Upon returning I helped as much as possible with dinner prep while enjoying cocktails.

We sat down to dinner with sparkling cider (I had another cocktail as well). It was delicous and quite filling. Afterward we washed the dishes and put the leftovers away. Finally we settled down to watched the movie. Alas I fell asleep barely 1/3 of a way into it--too many Black Russians--and was awakened by my roomie telling me it was time for me to get ready to go to work. :-(

So here I am at work. I've collected two cups of pee for tox screens and done my rounds once in the bitter cold. At least I have some leftovers--Unturkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans--for dinner.

11. 5:30 was the plan

ate around 6:15. We are on the third dishwasher load as we speak....

[hickman1937]

12. Btw 5:30 and 6:00pm saturday.

5 if brother Billy stays sober till dinner (he cooks most of the dinner) 6 if he's into the hooch early.

LOVE eating early.

BTW, the Omaha Steak roast was melt in your mouth! :hi:

[Mutley]

17. About 4:30

I drank a peppermint martini, a Corona, and a glass of wine (over a period of about 4 hours). It would have been more, but I had to drive 2 1/2 hours home.

[Pendrench]

18. 1:00 pm at my parents' house, and then 5:00 pm at my in-laws' house...

...and I'm feeling quite full this morning!

[bigwillq]

19. We ate around 2 p.m. (at home)

Then went to my aunt's house around 4 p.m. for dessert. I ate again at my aunt's around 7 p.m.! :bounce:

[Lady President]

23. 6:00

We've always had Thanksgiving Dinner at normal dinner time. I can't imagine eating a huge meal in the middle of the day.

[Arugula Latte]

24. We ate at about 5:00 p.m.

Yum.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. We ate at 4:30...supposed to be 2:30...but I slept in. OOPS!

We had turkey sandwiches in the evening and MrG was the only one imbibing. :hi: Although I could have used a little drinky poo with both of our mother's there and this being the first Thanksgiving sans my father (he left in July). Yay.

[Left Is Write]

27. Ours was about 5:00.

I had a glass of attitude adjustment with the meal. ;)

28. 4 PM for dinner. Good timing. Closed the place up around 3 AM.

Good times. This year I was thankful to have my family out of town so that I could play hostess using my mom's incredible kitcen.
