I roasted a duck stuffed with apples and red onion, as well as various herbs. There are only three of us for the feast this year, so it seemed like a good time to try a small bird with different flavors.
Please accept my Thanksgiving wishes for all guests of good will. May it be a good feast and a time to celebrate many things for which you have reason to be thankful.

And back at you.
You've been a generous host over the years.

Back atcha!
We're having a Standing Rib Roast. It's in the oven right now and will be cooked to rare temperature.
Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for all the great writing!
It has been my pleasure to host you, Mr. Hines.
We can't do rare roasts here because my wife doesn't like meat that isn't at least medium well. I can eat a rare steak, but family roasts pretty much have to be well done (and I'd hate to ruin a standing rib roast that way).
You are certainly welcome, Mr. Foster. Thank you for joining us.
I hope the day was joyful. Sometimes having fewer is sad, but sometimes it's a matter of joy, as youngsters begin to create their own family traditions.
Ours is tomorrow, because my local son and his wife and daughters are going out with the other parents today. It didn't feel like Thanksgiving, but we made the thankfulness effort, believing that this the most important.
We joined a couple across the street in going next door to the home of another couple, two of whose adult children joined us as well. We brought the turkey, as my husband's brined spice-rubbed turkey has won over the neighborhood for years now. It was a lavish spread, nice conversation, and plenty of dogs.
Duck sounds good--domestic or wild? Greg likes wild, but I'm very partial to domestic.
Now we're home, enjoying the re-watching of an Apple series, "Slow Horses."
