Happy Thanksgiving 2024! Macy’s Parade Close-Up + Nervous Turkeys Everywhere!

A Day When Turkeys Are VERY Nervous!

Yes, the United States of America is about to celebrate Thanksgiving. Here is how the holiday is described:

“Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people.”

Happy Thanksgiving in advance to everyone, hope you get a chance to see some of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Here’s a closeup look at last year, as we sat outside our apartment in a seat along the parade route – this is how close it got for us!

It’s an incredible display of floats and fun:

Of course, it ends with Santa and his helpers…then it’s on to thinking Turkey! I will share with you a few funny Thanksgiving memes from the internet:

And this is perhaps my favorite because there is indeed so much food!

With that said, I make a bacon-wrapped maple-glazed Turkey but love the idea of this:

This is a duck breast stuffed inside a chicken stuffed inside a turkey with dressing – and someone wrapped it in bacon!

See the result here:

If you plan a tradition Turkey, here’s a recipe that blew me away when I made it:

I wrapped a Turkey in a bacon weave and then glazed it with maple syrup!

Here’s the recipe!

And of course, you will need some tasty stuffing to go along this bird, right?
