doodle by andre: hiccup! (excuse me.)

SHE SERVED TURKEY AT SAID GARDEN PARTY. You ate too much. You drank too much. And now? Now you are probably watching football….oh, dear. Happy Thanksgiving from me and Andre Jordan (his first in America). Enjoy. (But try not to go face-down in the flower beds. Bad form.)

    hahahah, very funny.

  2. Yes, always refuse that last martini, especially if it would put you face down on a frosty garden like today. Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. Rick says:

    And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Thanks for all the wonderful posts and information you have brought to us through your little webloging site. We love it.

  4. andre says:

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    As Margaret said, it’s my very first! and I’m wondering what one is supposed to drink on such a day?

  5. andre says:

    and also, how long should one cook a two pound turkey part?

  6. Kaycie says:

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I think it depends a bit on which part, Andre!

  7. margaret says:

    @Kaycie: Thanks for breaking that news to him and his bride on their first T’giving. One need to ID the part first, right? I didn’t have the heart (or thigh, or leg, or breast, or…) to tell them. I suspect they did just fine, anyhow, being resourceful types living out on the prairie (ha!). Hope your holiday was swell.

  8. andre says:

    kaycie: it’s okay, my wife cooked the turkey (breast) and it turned out perfect.

    I very much like this thanksgiving business.

  9. susan says:

    Hope you had a good Thanksgiving and many more to come. Love the doodle.

    Before reading Andre’s caption I was almost positive it was going to be “I’ve fallen and can’t reach my martini!”

  11. margaret says:

    OK, Bobster, you win. Hands (face?) down.
