♫ Over the river and through the woods,
To grandmother’s house we go …
That song we sung as kids in school. And then there’s the hymn by Henry Alford, sung to the tune St. George’s Windsor by George Job Elvey:
♫ Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
G~d, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to G~d's own temple, come;
Raise the song of harvest home!

i hope that you're having a great thanksgiving, take care!
Mahalo & best wishes for this long weekend & the coming holidays
Let us try to anticipate the coming of the Prince of Peace, in spite of our timeline now being thoroughly fouled up — what with, after 2000 years, Herod “the Great” apparently having returned to rule Judea and resume the massacre of the innocents …

Louis Jordan did it and Cab Calloway covered it
A little ditty called “A
ChickenTurkey Ain’t Nothin’ but a Bird” …Never thought of Guacamole that way...
If you're poor now, my friend, then you'll stay poor.

“A chicken inside a duck inside a turkey” ?
Could be a description of our politicians, but it’s actually a Louisiana culinary specialty:

Actually the idea can be traced back at least to Roman times
Stuffing one critter inside another (inside yet another, sometimes) is called "engastration". This could be carried to extreme lengths, as in the "roast without equal" (actually a turn of the 19th century invention), which involved a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck[ling?], a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an ortolan bunting and a garden warbler.
Jean Auel's "ptarmigan stuffed with its own eggs" is a variant on the same idea, but whether it was an authentic Paleolithic dish I am not sure.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
brings the concept of stuffing a bird
to a whole new level
I hope they at least take off the feathers
Zionism is a social disease
They take off the feathers and debone first
Otherwise the "stuffing" wouldn't fit. (It's really amazing, the lengths people would go to to have a fancy high-class meal!)
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
“Engast food” — sounds like it beats fast food
“I’ll have a Coke, fries, and the McNoah. As in the Ark. A bit of every critter, nested.”
“Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.”
Had to look this one up
Bustards have rather long legs, adapted to running. They have only three toes, lacking the hind toe (hallux). The body is compact, carried in a rather horizontal position, and the neck stands erect, forward of the legs, in the manner of other tall running birds.
