Occu-pie Thanksgiving!
ChimeraMonster girl with a snek tail and five eyesBad puns, that's how eye roll. Registered Userregular
So what is everyone's plan for this Thanksgiving? I have no family to claim me so I am likely going to get drunk off eggnog and soco while watching football and eating a frozen turkey dinner. I do however plan on raiding some of the local churches for their Thanksgivng diners since I am evil like that.
What are your favorite dishes? I pretty much am a endless blackhole and will consume just about anything by I have a special spot in my heart for stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, any kind of pie, and that honey glazed ham!
Got any recipies to share? I'd love to hear them in case I decided to try and cook for my self too.
...and lastly, does anyone have any crazy stories about how one aunt stabbed the other in the kitchen or insanity like that?
I have Wednesday and Thursday off, so Wednesday will be spent hanging out with my girlfriend, followed by going out and getting obliterated with all of my out of town friends, then returning to my parents and sleeping on the couch. Thursday will be spent stuffing my face and probably more drinking. Also, football. Unfortunately I have to work Friday-Sunday all 12 hour shifts, so I don't get to shop or anything.
As far as my favorite Thanksgiving food, it would definitely be Green Bean Casserole. My one contribution this will be Cereal Milk White Russian Milkshakes I saw on Conan last week. I'm such a giver
Also, for those unaware: deep-fried turkey is delicious.
just make sure you thaw out the turkey COMPLETELY and do it safely. unless you're a fan of kitchen fires.
Also, when filling your frier with oil (I recommend peanut oil) make sure you understand the concept of Archimedes' principle before putting said turkey into a container full of extremely hot liquid fire death.
You people spending Thanksgiving alone: I'm not sure whether to pity or envy you.
I'm going to cook up a storm and bring some stuff with me to my family's place 60 miles away, pretend to like some people that I don't, enjoy the time with some people I miss, then head up to Tulsa the next day for a wedding.
It'll be my first Thanksgiving with my mother's new boyfriend. So, we'll see
The family hardly gets together anymore since my grandfather died in '09. He was the patriarch of the family, and everything just fell apart when he died. So it's always just kind of weird when we get together now.
Oh well. Chicken and dressing is worth the awkwardness.

We're going down to Georgia to be with some family friends from when we used to live there
One side of their family is Greek and the other is Italian, and they go to an Orthodox church so they always have their crazy Eastern European friends over, and there is SO MUCH food and booze

I live in the UK, and invited some friends over to my house for a Thanksgiving meal. It kinda snowballed from 5 people to 20. I've never cooked a Thanksgiving meal before, and I'm starting to panic.

However everyone knows the only acceptable substitute for turkey is ham.
We're to to my brother's in laws which is nice because we've hosted 15+ people for the last three years so its gonna be nice to ruin someone elses house and not have to do the dishes

Going to Hollywood with some friends for Tday this year.
First time in like 9 years I won't be with my friends in Seattle doing our traditional potluck.
Kinda sad about it.
This will be my first thanksgiving away from home. VoC and I are getting together with one of her traveling-across-europe buddies from back in the day and his lovely girlfriend and a friend of mine from back home who's on the road with his acting troupe. He will be in Birmingham this week so we are inviting him to Atlanta.
Thanksgivings really do collect misfit guests like some kind of turkey-based Katamari don't they?
As for recipes, my favorite thanksgiving meal is actually the chipped turkey open-faced sandwich with stuffing and gravy I make the days afterwards. Eating I feels like you replaced your insides with a warm, down comforter.

steamed broccoli and cauliflower, diced chicken breast, all mixed into Velveeta cheese and shells, with a crumbled ritz cracker topping.
So good

I don't care how I come across it
I do it as unsafe as possible as I love to watch the fire.
We can be alone together!

See, Sheri is a true patriot and knows the deal. Ham is the acceptable alternative.

ALL OF IT IN MY MOUTH.
Excuse me while I go throw up in a corner after writing that.
I prefer it because I get to eat what I want and I don't have to drive anywhere
This is the turkey we have chosen
In order to feel good about putting it in the oven
We have named it Joseph Gobbles
