 Puzzly, what do you think before? Tell the people what you think before? No comment. Ain't nobody about to give you no belly rub. You think before belly rub, ain't nobody better to give you one. It's Justine, wishing you guys a happy Thanksgiving on your side. I hope you're having a great morning. It's almost afternoon here, but I hope you're having a great Thanksgiving. I hope you have a safe happy Thanksgiving and that you spend time with your family, friends, even your enemies. I'm actually on my way out the door so I can head over to my parents' house and my grandparents' house to get ready for Thanksgiving tradition. We always come together every holiday, major holidays, and you know, as family and eat dinner and fellowship. So that's what I'm headed to now. I want to show you guys something before I leave. I'm gonna try to, I want to show you what I attempted to make for the Thanksgiving dinner. Okay, so I got my brownies here, so I made some brownies as you saw earlier. So the brownies came out really, really good. Now this is supposed to be like a harvest. I call it a harvest hash. I just gave it a whole nother name, but it's got um sweet potatoes, it has Brussels sprouts, it has apples, and it's supposed to have like cinnamon, which I thought I had cinnamon. I had no cinnamon in my house. I don't know where my cinnamon went to, but I always keep cinnamon in my house. I'm scouring the cabinets like where's my cinnamon? So I'd use nutmeg instead and some sugar, but I know that's not gonna help. I got this recipe on Pinterest. This is what mine looks like, and it's supposed to have a few more items in here, but it's supposed to have like chicken in it and bacon, but I didn't do that. I'm gonna show you what this recipe is supposed to look like. Hold on, hopefully they'll like it, but this is where I'm on my way to right now. So I'm gonna get out of here because I was supposed to be there at 12 o'clock and it is 11 56. So I'm on the road and it is sunny. It is beautiful, clear skies. It's about 62 degrees, but I think the high is going to be like 55 degrees. I'm supposed to drop down, I think, in a little 30s. So here in Alabama, that is very, very cold for us. It's 37 degrees. Yeah, that's freezing for us. Now, use that on our southern skin. See the cotton in case y'all northerners don't know what cotton is. That's cotton. Yep, we still got cotton down here in the south. We ain't picking it though. Look at this fall scenery. It is so nice. So I tried to roll the window down and give y'all some scenery, some shots, and look at my hair. Bad idea, but I'm just ready to eat. I have not eaten any breakfast. The only thing I had, I took my medicine this morning and drunk some water. That's pretty much all I've had in my stomach. So my stomach is free and clear and it is ready for some sustenance. It's ready for some turkey and some dressing, some greens, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, chicken, damn. You name it. I'm kind of sad that this is like Thanksgiving is the only day out of the year where people are more focused on being thankful. It's just really today. You see more people prayed up extra thankful on their social medias and stuff like that. And I do it too, but it's just kind of sad that just this particular day, people just seem to, people just seem to be more grateful on this day than any other day. It's like the holidays get you for the season and then once the, all the hoopla, the holiday is over with, it's back to buy homebook. Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving should really teach us more than receiving. I think if you can get something out of being thankful and giving, I think that should mean more to you than receiving. Don't you think that's common sense? Why should we always have our hand out waiting to receive something all the time? We got what we need. It's just we got our hands out for what we want, but we got everything that we need for the most part, but we still urge to always, it's not enough. So we're never thankful. Tell the folks Happy Thanksgiving. Ma, tell them Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for? Huh? Thanks for the beat here. Life in jail. Betty, Happy Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for? Everything. Being alive. See this day. Hope I see them in my life. You will. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. And yeah, it was a little happy. And here's a day. Putting it in the inside. Just thankful to see this day. Yep. Still kicking. And they were to move about it. You know, that's, next Thanksgiving, Brian. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. I don't know what tomorrow brings, Brian. Just be thankful for the day you see. You never see. Just be thankful. And I'm thankful that my parents are still here to see this day. Because a lot of people may have lost a loved one, a parent, and mom or dad. And I still have both of mine. So I'm thankful that I still have my parents here today to share this Thanksgiving. And all my siblings are here. And cousins, aunts and uncles are here as well. So I'm still eating. I'm still grubbing. It's good, y'all. I'm going to eat some more. Time for dessert. I'm going to show you what food we got here. Thanksgiving. Excuse me if I got food all over my mouth. What we got here for our Thanksgiving dinner is we have crock pot dressing. I know a lot of people put their dressing in a pan, but my mom does a crock pot dressing, which is, ooh, ball of my camera. It's more moist when it's in the crock pot than when it is in the pan. So we got that. And we got, what's this, mom? Okay, just some extra chicken. We got some cupcakes. These are, I think these are collards. Are these, these pinto beans? We got pinto beans, turnip greens, cornbread, macaroni. And then my harvest hash. And we got the turkey. Let me show y'all. My brother did the turkey. Look at that. It's got it all sliced up. It's very moist too. That sliced turkey that is smoked. This might be the peach cobbler. Is this the, is this the peach cobbler, mom? That was, okay. So this is the peach cobbler that I got from this restaurant named Smokies. And I'm going to tell y'all the story about this, this peach cobbler. And let's see what we got. Sweet potato pie. We got two. We got two sweet potato pies in there. We got potato salad, cranberry sauce. Here's a pie. There's a pie right there. Mom, what kind of pie is this? Lemon meringue, lemon meringue. Oh, this is chocolate pie. Cherry cobbler back there from Patty. Label. And we got cranberry spiked. So let me tell y'all the story about what happened to the peach cobbler. So what was it? Monday? What's the day? Wednesday? So it was Monday. So Monday I called to order peach cobbler from this barbecue restaurant called Smokies. So I called a day in advance because I knew with the holidays coming up they were going to be pretty busy. So I called the day ahead, placed my order for a peach cobbler and I told the lady I needed, I needed to pick it up at 12.30. So I had to be ready before 12.30 because I was going to pick it up at 12.30. Exact. So she said, okay, took my order. Okay. So the next day comes Tuesday. So I called about 11.45. Something kept telling me to call because I've had some issues with their service before. So just to make sure that they, you know, didn't try to mess me over. So I called about 11.45 and I asked the lady. There was a girl that answered the phone. I asked her. I said, I told her my name and I told her what I ordered. And I asked her. I said, is it in the oven? And she said, yes, it's in the oven. And I said, and it will be ready at 12.30. Right. And she says, yes, ma'am, it'll be ready at 12.30. Okay. So good. Make perfect timing. I'm ahead of schedule. So I'm on the road. I get on the road by 12.15 because the place is really not that far. I get halfway down the road. My phone starts ringing. It's smokies. So a guy tells me, he says, it's like, you know, we apologize. We've been backed up. It's been real hectic. We just put your pie in the oven. It's about 10 minutes ago. So he said it'll be ready at about 20 more minutes, 25 more minutes, something like that. So I told him, I said, look, I said, this is why I called in yesterday to have this pie ordered in advance. So that way be ready. Just call the order in advance. So that way to be ready when I got there. My order should have been first priority. As soon as you open up at 11 o'clock, that thing should have went in the oven because they don't take that long to cook. And y'all could have handled all the other orders you had. But mine was placed a day in advance. So I get there. No, I actually made some other stops because I did have another stop I need to make. So I try to kill some time. So kill some time. I get there thinking it's been, it's been at least 20 minutes by that time. I get there and they was like, the peach cob is here, peach cob is here. So I'm thinking they've got to bring it to me and pay for it. And I walk out the door only for them to tell me, oh, it's going to be seven more minutes. So then I have to wait even longer for my pie, for the cobbler. I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, out of common courtesy, they could at least give me a discount or something. I'm waiting for them to make the move without me having to say anything first as a customer. So I get up there and she tells me, well, for your inconvenience, we give you a discount. So, okay, so she rung it up and she told me it's like $16. But then I thought about it and I was like, well, when I called yesterday and I asked how much it was for a pan of cobbler, she told me they told me $16 before tax. Give me a senior citizen discount for $1.60. When I tell you I was mad, but this ain't the worst of it. I was so in a hurry, they took an extra 30 minutes out of my time. So I had to hurry because I had one, I had not gotten ready for work. I have not eaten breakfast, no nothing. And then I had to meet my mom to give her the stuff where she could take to her house to finish making the things to give them food. Thanksgiving dinner. So, traffic is bumper to bumper. Everybody's out shopping. I get ready to go kind of down a hill and turn to my right. I didn't even throw on brakes. I hit my brakes, but I didn't throw on brakes. But it was just enough for the cobbler to nose dive down in my floorboard. So half of my cobbler was on the floor. But I tell you, I heard that cobbler hit that flow. I, everything went in slow motion. It was just like, Needless to say, I will never give Smoky my business again. I will never even refer Smokies again. They will never get my money again. I didn't even have time to even put up a full set of hassles. So I was running late for work, or would have been running late for work. So I just kept it moving. But they will, they will never get my business again. So they may have the best peach cobbler out there, but I'm pretty sure I can find somebody else that can make me a peach cobbler even better. So bye-bye Smokies. Get your macaroni. Oh, some macaroni. Oh, you had a cafeteria plate. I don't know if I told y'all, but we have two holiday traditions. So we always come together, my mom's house, and we eat here. And then my grandma's house, which my grandparents have passed away, they have a house up the road. And everybody, everybody else, all the family, that's the main place where everybody goes to eat for the different holidays and stuff like that. So that's where everybody is right now. So what is this called? At least what model? It's the breeze. The breeze? You got you one too, Pest? Uh-uh. Nah. I had started the children's level. The children's level. So we're at my family storm shelter here. Trying to get some, a story on this storm shelter. Yeah. And yeah, that's another thing. It floods in here. And it floods in here. There's no oxygen. Or whatever you do. Yeah, there's no, there's no oxygen. Y'all got things stuffed up. Man, that's daddy's doing. Oh, you probably got about, you, you might have. We got two minutes to live. My granddad to live in here, I know y'all can. That was different times. That's what air was a little different. Oxygen was a little different. So the tradition is we draw for Christmas. Yeah, when you couldn't go on camera. We do a drawing. You make sure that stuff is correct. We draw money. I got too many. No, I didn't. Why do you use my sugar bowl? Did you draw two names or one name? Now I'm going to draw. See who's who's going to be getting coals this year. Put it on camera. So I know I ain't cheating. All right, let's see who I got. You ain't getting no blank piece of paper because I put a name on everybody's. Lady the last person left. So my sisters should be drawing last. So that's what we do every year. So we just put our names in the bucket, draw and get a gift for that person. With my battery about to die. Yeah, I'm blurry. I am back home. Say hey, Pugsley. Are you happy to see me? You happy to take my boots off? Had a really great time with my family. Enjoyed seeing everybody. Hope I'm not blurry. Enjoyed seeing everybody and spending time with my folks and eating. And I didn't eat a lot, but man was I bloated and still bloated. Like stomach is just hurting right now. All in all, everything was good. Everything was great. So I am in for the rest of the night. Just going to chill, get my chill on, catch me some Christmas movies. My battery is about to die. So I'm trying to make this quick. So what I'm going to do is, of course, this is Thanksgiving, last year Thanksgiving. So what I normally do is the day after Thanksgiving, I take all of the decor down for the fall and for Thanksgiving. And that's when I put my Christmas stuff up. So I'll be pulling all the Christmas stuff tonight. And just seeing what I got, what I don't got, what needs to be updated or replaced. So that's pretty much what I'm going to do for the rest of the night. So I hope you guys had a happy, safe Thanksgiving. I hope you ate well, enjoyed your family and friends, loved ones. Hope you just had a really, really great day. I'm going to go ahead and end out on this vlog because this camera is about to die in probably five, four, three, two, one.
