I’m about to start putting onions and celery and carrots through the antique cast-iron grinder to make the stuffing. My wife and I are doing stuffing and turkey to take to her parents’ house.
I am spending it with my husband and 4 children. My husband ordered the Thanksgiving food so I don’t have to cook. I only have to warm up the food. The only problem is he purchased 4 pies and 2 cakes. That is going to be hard to avoid.
I am thankful for my amazing family, my great friends and my health. I am very lucky and thank God everyday for all he has given me.
To everyone in the North East (myself included) be careful on the roads, it’s going to be a rainy, windy day…nothing could ruin your day–and others–like an accident, so stay safe.
I’ll be hanging out with a ton of family members–18 in all, including cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles–so it should be a nice day. My mother just got a promotion, my brother-in-law got back safe and sound from Iraq 2 weeks ago and, most importantly, everyone is healthy so we have a lot to be thankful for.
Stay safe and enjoy the day, this is always my favorite holiday because amidst the craziness of your life it allows for time to be thankful for everything you have.
what is it about thanksgiving that inspires people to sing and dance like a bunch of fags? i just watched this thanksgiving shit on the TODAY show and there were all these people doing the “ONE (singular sensation)” act. It was seriously the faggiest thing I’ve ever seen. What is it about the last Thursday of November that makes this cool?
Happy Thanksgiving to the T-Nation brothers and sisters. Indeed, what a fine day, the cheat meal of all cheat meals, if you will.
I’m dieting right now as I have a return to the ring coming up soon after a year and a half absence due to a pretty bad shoulder injury (VERY thankful for that…the return part especially, hehee) so I’m trying to stay in control today.
The wife and I are going to her parents house as mine are at the casino today having some fun together. My wife has made the day much easier on me. “Honey, I made like 4 side dishes out of Berardi’s cook book for us to tke with, some ‘anytime’ meals in case you want to stay low carb, or some healthy carbs with no fat in them if you decide to carb up.”
I’ve never been more proud of my wife than hearing that. Some days, love is very good. And yes, I am thankful.
Also thankful for you guys. We may all fight sometimes, but I enjoy our crazy little corner of the internet. T-Nation and Biotest have grown by leaps and bounds this year it seems like, and I’m thankful for all the friends I have made here, all the times my opinions have been changed/challenged, and certainly, for all the top notch training and nutritional info we are all handed on a daily basis here, for free. That alone has caused me to be able to avoid a surgery and perform my own rehab this year. Thanks guys
So, for at least one day this year, lets ALL make Professor X and John Berardi happy, and do some Massive Eating! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Give time today to remember all that you are thankful for and all that you have to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving. It’s mostly chocolate for us today (we’re not very traditional).
Surprisingly, some people in the Philippines actually celebrated Thanksgiving too. My wife didn’t know about it until going to college in Manila, where they told her she was going to miss Thanksgiving dinner. It took her until she came over here to know what it was all about.
We just had our traditional thanksgiving brunch- 11 am turkey, stuffing, everything. The first time in a long time that I’ve eaten Turkey. My mom and dad cooked- they have cooking SKILLS.
The one and only time I was the Thanksgiving cook, at the time of carving we found a bag of the turkey guts inside. Anyway, that was our annual thanksgiving funny story that I have to relive year after year and the reason I’m never the cook, the year I left the guts inside the turkey. Egads.
