And between three people I'm sure we bought too much.
Nah not if you want any leftovers. We had 14lbs for five people and I only had enough leftover to make turkey and dumplings the next day. I'll have to roast another one if I want hot browns and cold sandwiches. Smaller turkeys lose a lot more than you think just to bone mass weight.
I'm expecting close to twenty people in my house on Thursday we have two turkeys one 16lb and another 13lb.
Guys they're brining as we speak.
Tons of potatoes, cornbread stuffing, some butternut squash...
My body is ready
Sorta depends on what spices you've used on your turkey. I usually do a roux-based gravy with turkey drippings and a bit of chicken stock, crushed roasted garlic, the zest and juice of one lemon, some chopped bacon, and a bit of parsley.

I do this only with a bunch of super sauteed shallots and rubbed sage instead of lemon and bacon
Oh and a about a quarter cup of white whine if I have it. I usually don't.
One of my friends recommended using vermouth as a cooking wine and since we have vermouth but never have any leftover wine I gave it a try. I thought it turned out pretty well.
Girl I'm sorry you can't do thanksgiving, is it a dollars n cents reason or a 'my family is shit' reason, if you don't mind me asking? if it's financial we could probably do a whipround for funding to have a weekend after Thanksgiving, but if it's just that your family is a bunch of steaming fuckbuckets... ain't no cure for fuckbuckets
I made Pumpkin Pie. Well two. I figured it might be a good idea to make sure that I did a good job, so my mom and I split the second pie which "didn't look as good."
Yes that's a 4th of the pie. Yeah that's a lot of whipped cream, but it's homemade whipped cream so totally necessary to have that much.

Having a discussion with my cousin who is working on her doctorate in communications.
"... and one of my students wrote a paper about the negative treatment of women in video games"
Me " Did she reference Anita Sarkeesian?"
"That doesn't ring a bell"
Me " She's a game critic who's well known for critiquing the portrayal of women in video games, and getting flak for it"
"Why would she be getting flak for it?"
Me "Oh you poor thing"

HAPPY SHAZKAR DAY! and also Thanksgiving! I'm super grateful that even though I'm not with them this year, my extended family is awesome and our holidays are full of love and humor and overindulgence because we don't believe in "too much of a good thing."

The Macy's parade is on! You should all watch! It is a great holiday tradition.
Even the terrible lip-synced broadway songs.

Thanksgiving is the best. Made everything from scratch, green beans, potatoes, chicken stock for gravies, dry brined turkey. Everything except the stuffing. You don't fuck with Pepperidge Farm+sausage.

They feed us last night a bought Thanksgiving deal
Now it was par for the course Turkey, and such but something is seriously wrong if you need butter to improve the taste of cornbread

We're watching the parade and they showed some people who dressed up their babies and put them in pots and I yelled, "OH MY GOD! THEY'RE COOKING BABIES!"
So now my kids believe people are really cooking babies and they just saw some meat on tv and asked if it was baby.

But since Indians there are lots of vegetarians
And I am the biggest carnivore of the group
So I will reign supreme

WOOHOOOO!
I'm waking up at the butt of dawn to make 15 lbs of mashed potatoes!
Think I should make them in two batches or just use my 36qt monster? I'm leaning towards the later.

Oh well. It was fun to think about.
noooooo =(

if only you lived somewhere super urban we could just order you a delivered thanksgiving dinner... I bet they do that kinda shit in civilization
Then my brother and his friend wanted to try them.
Now about half of them have been eaten. Whelp.
Edit: I hate mobile uploading
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I"M DOING!!!
sweet potato casserole.
I cook them, I mash/whip them, I put then in a dish, I top them with marshmallows and then in the oven. Right? that's all I need to do?
Also it's starting to REALLY be summer down here and the thought of hot food i making me nutty.

That's how a lot of people do it, yeah. I've also seen people use brown sugar.

Stuff your faces!
Love your family!
Or at least tolerate them!
Watch MST3k!
Pray for the Lions to lose!
Listen to Arlo Guthrie's Thanksgiving Day Massacre in 12 part harmony!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Of course I told them it was.
Looks like it's going to be a thanksgiving sleepover
Stupid not wanting to bother setting up cable TV.

Do you get any channels via antenna or Qam tuner? It's just on NBC.
I don't know what they mean
I haven't owned or had to set up a TV in years but my roommate got a Smart TV which I have used thus far only to watch Netflix on a larger screen
