YA READY FOR YOUR TURKEY DINNER?

last year we went to a weird orphans t'giving with stoned hipsters, mostly people we didn't know and could barely talk to... this will be a lot better! if we want the turkey we can just go to some other friends' house the next day right?

leftovers = awesome.

Brilliant, I had some sweet potatoes I wasn't sure what to do with. Might cook these up on Sunday!

it's the cliche for jews to eat chinese and see movies on x-mas right? that's what we're doing, ok. not trying to have a michael richards moment or be ANT-t'giving, we're just keeping it low key.

My sister is helping my mother with pies and mashed potatoes. Creamed onions might have gotten lost in the shuffle, I know that I didn't get the onions, and if I didn't get 'em, they didn't get got. I'm kind of the one-eyed man who is king in the land of the blind, here.

Donald also HAS to have Le Sueur canned peas and pickled purple cabbage out of a jar. A holdover from childhood. One year I made the cabbage from scratch, with apples. There was no discernable difference between that and the store-bought, so never again. Likewise the home-made cranberry sauce. Whole-berry Oceanspray is just fine, thank you!

at least my aunt's pumpkin bisque was amazing.

READY TO GET YOUR EAT ON????

oh is it thanksgiving?

what's thanksgiving?

huh?

Reboot.

I intend on a light lunch.

I woke up this morning and puked up the dinner I had last night! YEAH!!!!!!

(wait, no)

Happy regurgitated Thanksgiving.

Yay, Mandee.

I think we're having squash risotto and pumpkin pie tonight! We will raise a glass to transatlantic chums.

Back from my nephew's house in Birmingham, a nice visit and a good meal. The mantle of hosting and cooking has passed from my parents after decades, though, and it's weird to eat Thanksgiving dinner that doesn't taste like my mom's cooking.

Trying to keep it down.

And stay awake.

I ate too much of my FIL's cooking. He is insanely heavy-handed with the butter, cream, and salt. Which normally I'd be all for. I should have just stuck with one kind of pie for dessert, but noooooo.... It was good, though, so I shall just enjoy feeling FAT.

YA READY FOR MY TURKEY YAM FARTS?

My now retired chef Dad made veggie lasagne (and, of course, turkey for the non veg) stuffing, creamed corn, creamed peas, mashed sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, cauliflower with cheese, pommes anna, pumpkin pie, and blueberry pie. I don't think I have to eat for a week.

one turkey leg, mashed potatoes, salad, cranberry sauce, squash, corn, three rolls, two slices of apple pie, and three scoops of ice cream. And four glasses of wine.

I finished eating by 3:00 in the afternoon. Now here it is six hours later and I don't feel stuffed to the gills anymore, which is nice. And I'll go to bed hungry and therefore lose some lb's overnight. Good times.

my supper was

Dominos
pumpkin pie/cheesecake thing
beer

turkey (white & dark)
stuffing
gravy
brussels sprouts
green beans w shallots & bacon
mashed potatoes w chorizo
sweet potatoes with baked apples casserole

there were pies but i did not eat them.

bourbon.

cranberry chutney, a roll.

I made this for my extended family.

It went over very well.

We did a potluck thing, including most of the usual suspects, although no yams. : (

turkey
gravy
stuffing
cranberry sauce
mashed potatoes
caramelized pumpkin trifle
green beans
almond cookies

All y'all who say "stuffing," is this something that is baked in the bird, or do you really mean "dressing"?

(ps, I am not as dogmatic about this as I am about barbecue, just wondering)

some crab dip to kick things off then:

motherfuckin' turkey
gravy
mashed potatoes
sausage stuffing (or "dressing", whatever dude)
saurkraut
sweet potato pie
green beens
steamed carrots
cranberry sauce

pretty amazingly delicious. my moms is skilled in the art of cooking.

Roasted nuts with rosemary and honey
Turkey
Gravy
Dressing (yes, WmC)
Cranberry sauce
Broccoli casserole w/Velveeta made by me, twice, because the first time I got 1. the broccoli overcooked and 2. the sauce all runny
Green bean and mushroom casserole
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Pumpkin pie and whipped cream
