Will the Thanksgiving turkey be replaced by a crustacean

I finally got around to taking the Yamaha WR450 off the rack and getting it ready to do a little riding in the desert. I'm hoping I can get to some places where I can get some interesting pictures without risking flying over the handlebars and landing in the middle of a half-acre of Cholla cactus.

I'm starting to give some thought to what I would like to do for Thanksgiving instead of my usual plan of sitting in the Arctic Fox and eating a bowl of cereal. I figure this year I'll set in the Arctic Fox and eat something different, but as yet I haven't figured out what . I'm pretty sure I will forgo the traditional 20 pound turkey and cook a smaller creature of some kind, possibly a fish or some type of crustacean.

The weather at Box Wash has been almost perfect, high 50s at night and high 70s in the daytime, throw in some 12% humidity and you can't ask for better than that. And then when you figure that I'm surrounded by beautiful desert scenery and I'm living here for FREE ! I obviously have much to be thankful for

You better believe I'll eat some mudbugs. I think in Louisiana that's what they normally have for Thanksgiving dinner. Problem for me though is there a little bit hard to find around here. And I'll bet if you go to the meat department at Safeway and ask for mudbugs they will probably call security.

We buy a precooked turkey breast, a small can of cranberry sauce, a can of sweet potatoes, and have pumpkin pie. Only the sweet potatoes need to be heated up. Don't forget to get bread for leftover turkey sandwiches.

That sounds like a great and simple way of making Thanksgiving dinner. But one of my Thanksgiving problems is I've never been a big fan of turkey or cranberry sauce. I always had to eat turkey when I was growing up because that's what my mom cooked but when I got old enough to start buying my own food I would always buy a ham for Thanksgiving. And not just any old ham, I would get those spiral cut hams which to me always tasted better. Which reminds me I think I'll look it up on the Internet and see if there's a spiral cut store around Wickenburg somewhere maybe that can be my Thanksgiving dinner.

Thank you for the advice and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
