I'm going to make a pizza and eat it before I have to go eat my family's nasty dried out turkey and vomit stuffing.

>My parents are divorced so we have early thanksgiving today, and then another one tomorrow.

I am amerifat, but I don't care!

>>3242937
I know that feel. Tomorrow I have my dad's, Saturday I have my mom's. Feels fat man.

>>3242939
I have been watching cooking shows all day, I am ready to gorge myself.

cooking a turkey
fresh string beans
sweet potatoes baked with bacon fat
stuffing, mashed potatoes
challah rolls
cranberry sauce
apple juice :)
got dumped shortly before the holidays, so I will be eating like a hippo and over exercising to compensate.
luckily there's no pie or it would already have been annihilated.

Anyone know some recipes for baked desserts? I need something to take to a friend's house. I was thinking of lemon meringue pie or bread pudding or something, but anyone have any other suggestions?

>>3242962
Here's a pumpkin pie with streusel topping recipe I'm going to try making this afternoon: http://danazia.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/pumpkin-pie-socks/

question for you /ck/

my aunt who's having us over for turkeyday dinner wants to do a "wine tasting" i put it in quotes because we'll be supplying the wine. i'm not a wine drinker, i like beer. good beer. i'm thinking of bringing a biere de garde, considering it'd go well with dinner, but also has similar aromas: cherries, dark fruit, oak, spices etc.

tl;dr: how poor is my form if i bring a biere de garde to family thanksgiving when was told to bring wine?

We're having::

fried turkey
glazed ham
garlic mashed potatoes
homemade sausage/sourdough/cornbread stuffing
packaged stuffing for the unadventurous
green bean casserole
broccoli casserole
corn pudding
crescent rolls
deviled eggs
sweet whole grain rolls
pecan pie
chocolate cream pie
lemon meringue pie

I really hope we have enough of everything cause we're looking at feeding at least 10 people.

>>3242981
didn't you ask this last year?
It's the whole family dinner thing, wine was SPECIFIED
bring wine, it's only for one meal and it will taste better with the food. Less annoyance about finding correct glasses, ect

Thanksgiving was a month ago.

Spicy Pumpkin Soup
Green Bean Casserole (I can't live without)
Chipotle Mashed potatoes
Ciabatta stuffing with pancetta and chestnuts
Rolls
Roast duck
Duck giblet gravy
Pumpkin Cheescake

And of course lots of day drinking.

>>3242981
Very poor form, old chap. You're not bringing something for yourself, you're bringing something for everybody. And you were told flat-out to bring wine.

Just pick out something that looks good and is reasonably priced, if you don't know what to buy.

instant mashed potatoes
instant stuffing
canned cranberry sauce
instant gravy
premade pie
ice cream

1 home cooked Roast duck (the only thing I spend any time on)

1 duck from the Chinese restaurant for extra meat and quality control

Lots and lots of alcohol

Turkey is junk meat and I won't eat it until they take it out of my hot dogs/ cold-cuts/ subway sandwiches/ etc/ etc..

Baked Turkey with olive oil
homemade cranberry sauce
Potato salad
Stuffing
Yeast Rolls
Yams
deviled eggs
pecan pie
pumpkin pie
green beans
mixed vegetables
Mashed Potatoes

usual thanksgiving

>>3242999

>1 duck from the Chinese restaurant for extra meat and quality control
>Chinese restaurant
>quality control

Biptches, please. And I see you trolling with that "junk meat" statement.

>>3242993
>>3242993
hey triscuit!
how to duck giblet gravy? sounds tasty.

>>3243025
>>not even trolling
If you read the fine print on the subway menu, you will see that they pass off turkey as other meat, now why would they do that?
Read the ingredients on a package of cheap hot dogs. Turkey.

Also, we have excellent Chinese restaurants here in Hawaii, so I'm not sure where you're going with that...
They chop up the duck for you, and have some sort of sweet ginger garlic rub on it that gets under the crispy skin. Quality control

>>3242993
>>3243049
Also,
I too would like to know what to do with the package of giblets inside the duck cavity.

Chop, sautee in butter, whisk in some flour, simmer, and then hit it with a ladle of duck fat?

>>3243049
That's your own motherfucking fault for buying dog-food tier hotdogs, now isn't it? Lern/2hebrewnational

>>3243063
so you just admitted turkey meat is "dog food"?

you must have been captain of the debate team.

>>3243049
Americans don't really consider Hawaii part of the U.S. You're like Puerto Rico or Guam to the rest of us.

>>3243085
Its true, most of you and the people in AK never visit the mainland. You guys have very little importance in national elections. The only thing most Americans have in common with Hawaii and Alaska is we all use the same kind of money.

>>3243085
I've never met any one that didn't concider Hawaii part of the USA.

>>3243108
>concider
consider*

That's what I get for being up since 5am on 3 hours of sleep.

>>3243108
Translation: I don't get out much.

>>3242981
poor form if coming across as a pretentious hipster is any concern to you

>>3242967
That looks damn good.

Im probably going to be lazy this year and not actually participate in the cooking aspect much. But I will be living abroad for 2 years next year so I will be trying to learn all the recipes

stosting in a pickie

just put in a pie crust to chill, going to roll it out ala' brown style, makin' a sweet potato pie.

>>3242967
you think that struesel topping would work with cheap graham cracker pie crusts? I meant topping a pie baked in them.

Anyone have that diatribe someone posted on here before against Thanksgiving?

"...lashing yet another shrieking soul to their bloated animated corpses..." was a part of it.

A ham glazed with a brown sugar/pineapple/wine/coke mixture
Deep fried turkey seasoned with rosemary and citrus
candied sweet potatoes
mashed potatoes with blue cheese
Maple cornbread

Not too many people this time around.

>>3243199
Nobody?

HEY GUYS

so i'm only gonna be eating with one other person tomorrow (sad, i know)

anyway, i obviously don't want to make a WHOLE turkey, cus that would be too much. I am gonna make some mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie though.

what should i do instead for the meat?

also, are there easy packets of stuffing i can buy and just make quickly? thanks!

Nice big helping of extra duty. fuck yeah!

Anyone else frying their turkey? It tastes great.

Ya gotta love it, ya gotta love it.

>>3243241
Could just get a turkey breast and fry/roast it or something. Or a chicken, maybe a duck.

At my house we're having turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rolls, and cranberry sauce, with sweet potato and pumpkin pies for dessert. My body is ready.

They sell just the turkey breast where I am at.

Bring a wine and a beer. Yay! More Booze!

Deep fried turkey is wonderful, too bad I don't have a diesel car to use the oil in later.

2 turkeys this year. One from grocery store (soy injected) for the masses, and a Mary's from the meat-lovin' health food store as the secret back up. Night and day in the flavor department, wow.

holy shit its tomorrow

I am looking forward to it, it's my first thanksgiving where I am doing the cooking.

The Turkey I am going to be patting with butter, rosemary and thyme and filling with apples, lemon and orange wedges inside and baking with an oven bag to get super juicy.

otherwise doing a green bean vinegarette type thing, mashed potatoes, home made (from scratch) cornbread, home made (crust and everything) diabeetus friendly apple and pumpkin pie and stuffing.

Thanksgiving will be the day after the actual day for me, don't have any family so it'll be me, my bf and my close friends.

I want to make a hamsteak and mac and cheese for thanksgiving but I don't know how to cook pasta in the microwave.

Any tips?

And I'm cooking the hamsteak on a foreman grill if you were wondering.

>>3242981
just bring wine. Don't make your family hate you more than they already do.

http://www.closetcooking.com/2011/11/brussels-sprouts-with-smoked-bacon.html#more

This. Seasonal, relatively easy, and it's got that "traditional elements put together in an unexpected way" factor which is so desirable at thanksgiving.

http://baking.food.com/recipe/hersheys-chocolate-monkey-bread-96013

also this because I'm a consumer whore

I'm having cranberry seira mist, wild turkey 101 and eggrolls with gravy. Anybody got any idea how to make this more white trashy?

The pumpkin souffle will be good. What I wish I was having tomorrow.

World's biggest sushi roll.

Funny how /ck/ becomes as active as a popular board during thanksgiving.

>>3243334
SPAM and a 6 pack of PBR.

>>3243334
Eat all this in your underwear while watching football in the wood-paneled living room on a musty smelling recliner in front of an aging CRT television set

And this >>3243356

Make sure you have a bunch of blue collared buddies who chortle at the most inane shit just to hear the sound of their obnoxious sounding laughter

>>3243356
Rednecks drinking PBR? Surely you jest. Bud Light/Budweiser all the way.

>dont want to spend thanksgiving alone
>going to drive 3 hours to my Aunt's
>they're against drinking
>my face when no booze on thanksgiving

I don't eat at the dinner table. I'll bring a shitton of food in my room and play video games while I eat.

This is depressing

Basic stuff but I am also making homemade Reeses and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

>>3243387
>that feel when no nearby family

What time do you guys usually start cooking? I get annoyed when it is done at 10AM like my grandmother....good thing I don't go over there anymore.

>>3243377
the saddest part about that is I already planned on doing that exact thing (except my living room is tope drywall)
also, adding easy mac to the spreed

I'm having ramen noodles, some doritos, and a 1.75L of vodka.

>>3243402

Depends, we usually start early so we can eat early. Thanksgiving dinner is best at about 3 - 4PM, methinks.

My parents are divorced. My mom's severely manic-bipolar so she gets my sisters and me for Thanksgiving lest she go into a manic phase and keys our cars or something. I'll see my dad for breakfast on Friday. In the meantime, I'm cooking dinner tomorrow. I'll try to take photos as the dishes get prepared and come out, but here's what I have planned:

Turkey (duh) with stuffing placed after the turkey is cooked
Gravy made from the drippings
Roasted Sweet potatoes
Vegan Mashed potatoes (my cousins are vegans, and I didn't want to leave them out entirely)
Salad
Cranberry sauce* (store-bought)
Cherry pie (or maybe Apple pie)* (also store-bought)

And we're Arab, so we're going to add to the traditional spread:
Tabouleh
Dolmeh
(probably) Rice

This is going to feed about 10-12, hopefully leaving just enough leftovers (not lots of rice left over) to stay good for us to coast for a few days after the dinner.

Nothing's *finished* although the gears are already turning. If someone has any suggestions, I would benefit greatly and appreciate immensely any words of wisdom or suggestions you might have.

>Entire family is dead or disowned
>Just me and mom
>Easy Thanksgiving

>>3243497

>Roast chicken
>Some pork thing

Y U NO TURKEY?

>>3243503

Because it's retarded to cook a turkey for just two people. Forever to thaw, forever to cook, forever to eat.

>>3243503

>>3243506

It's not retarded if you like turkey.

>>3243508

I like turkey but not that much. If I want turkey, I'll go to the deli.

>>3243506
they sell fresh turkeys the week of thanksgiving

>>3243497
>Just me and mom

I sense an opportunity

for fuckins

>>3243463
For fuck's sake, even Mickey D's is open on Thanksgiving. Go there and at least get something that passes for meat.

>>3243497
awww

>>3243528
>something that passes for meat

guess mcd's is out then

>>3243503
Because turkey is rubbish.
I thought I made that clear earlier.

gotta drive for 7 hours to nearest relatives celebrating thanksgiving. sister decided to marry some asian guy, entire thanksgiving has been, for the past few years now, been dominated by white rice and asian food. even strangely cooked turkey is stuffed with some rice chestnut browned meat stuffing

no potatoes, peas, pie, etc. get seaweed with soy sauce, tofu, asian sticky rice cake and rice ball soup thing, etc.

also must endure awkward asian relatives

mfw all of this shit

>>3243569
>white girl marries asian male
I seriously hope you guys don't do this

>>3243569
sounds like they're some kind of gaysian
not thai or viet or korean
fucking must be some mongolian shitbloods

>>3243577

idk, never bothered to find out. the only thing i can look forward to, though, is the drinking. they're real lenient with the alcohol so i get drunk off my ass there. only problem is they're all loud as shit and have conversations by shouting in their native tongue and laughing ferociously. i usually go straight to the guest room and pass out; i once passed out on their kid's bed. im surprised they still let invite me.

>>3243569
>300-400 miles
>Don't even like it

Why bother?

>>3243581

they still invite me*

but yea they stay at the one dinner table for hours and my sis and I just sit there awkwardly

>>3243582

im a poorfag who could use free food and shelter. they live in a bigass house (even have a fucking home theater) and with persuasion from my sis i can probably stay there for as long as until new year's.

>>3243584
Wait. Your sister is doing the cooking and yet she's making pseudo-Asian food for Thanksgiving? Maybe the problem is her. She sounds really desperate for the approval of the Asian relatives.

>>3243587
>Poorfag
>Driving 300+miles
>Free food and shelter for six weeks

At first I was like what but then okay this makes sense

>>3243581
Post sounds like a troll. There is no way for a person not to know who or what their immediate sibling is marrying into.

>>3243463

>>3243596
>There is no way for a person not to know who or what their immediate sibling is marrying into.

Not the guy you were responding to but my brother and I live far apart and I had no idea what kind of family he was marrying into.

>>3243599
Yeah, but this isn't his first Thanksgiving with them. In all that time, it never came up what Asian his sister married? Never in a conversation?

>>3243588

i never said that, her husband has some kind of asian masculinity culture trait or whatever and he takes control (the guy is obsessed with cooking); when i say "they" i refer to his side of the family coming to take control of the food and, yes, my timid sis who also has to cook his food.

and its not pseudo, its the real shit. and, honestly, its not like the american stuff at all. there's usually whole plates of just one kind of veggie (bok choy or whatever) or meat. no big sweet, salty, or spicy flavors, no garnishes, soup with medicinal qualities, and craptons of rice. throw in a turkey in the middle just for the sake of everybody else doing it for thanksgiving.

>>3243596
>>3243603

i mean, i guess i'll just find out this time

usually its just them speaking in their language really really fast. they're probably chinese or something cause the house is full of embellishments like golden dragon statues, little buddha things, calligraphy... i really never cared that much cause they always came off as... odd. i think you can clearly tell i distance myself away from them minus the free food and hospitality.

turkey w/ olive oil + salt and pepper and thyme, toast that mofucka; served with canned cranberry sauce/jam

sage and rosemary bread stuffing w/ onions and garlic

freshly made mashed potatoes w/ chives

clams in white wine sauce

roasted yams

pea risotto (aaaw yea)

freshly made apple pie and breyer's ice cream

feed to family. profit.

I like to take about 1-2 sticks-worth of softened sage rosemary and thyme compound butter and spread it evenly under the skin of the turkey. I then take about 1 and a half lemons and juice them for some other application wedge them then take the remaining wedges and a liberal handful of rosemary+thyme sprigs and stuff the turkey with them. Makes a really delicious moist turkey. As for mashed potatoes I'm simple and just like some yukon golds with a bit of sour cream, butter, salt and lots of coarse pepper.

Stuffing is good but I prefer fresh made rolls or biscuits and a fresh sauteed veggie like asapragus or baby broccolli on the side.

Using the turkey drippings I like to make a red wine mushroom gravy to put on the potatoes and turkey.

I drink red wine and a glass of peligrino with the lemon juice in it that I saved earlier. For dessert nothing beats fresh homemade pies. Pumpkin, apple, etc.

I got invited to my first Thanksgiving (I'm not from the US) and we're kind of sharing the workload as we're poor Erasmus student - I'm in charge of dessert.

Considering I don't have an oven here or even good utensils (fuck my life), what can I make? Must be something I can either make fast there or prepare at my place and carry there somehow. For 17 people.

I was thinking maybe http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/143165/raspberry-and-maltesers-crunch or some shit like this.

WAT DO HALP.

>>3243703

If you have a microwave you can actually make mashed potatoes because you can steam them in there or even cook them without water (just make sure to turn them). It is a staple of thanksgiving, it is extremely cheap to make and aside from cooking the potatoes all you need is a big bowl and a big spoon (although a potato masher would be a big help)

>>3243705
>mashed potatoes for dessert

>>3243708

>Implying Amerikkkans don't want more potatoes for dessert.

>>3243703
Fruit and creme anglaise is always a good and easy recipe, and it'll be appreciated regardless of who you serve it to. I'd recommend serving mixed berries in individual cups/dishes, then once your anglaise has cooled completely, serve it over the fruit.

Creme anglaise:
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup white sugar

Heat cream and vanilla in a saucepan until bubbles form at edges. While cream is heating, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly. Gradually add egg yolk mixture back to remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is at desired thickness.

>>3243705

>inb4 microwave explodes and entire house catches on fire

gtfo

I'm making a 10 oz (precook weight) flat-iron steak cooked mid-rare, stuffing, sweet corn and peas and a roll.

Dessert is Ben and Jerry's

>>3243734

>He's never cooked a potato in the microwave.

Enjoy waiting an hour for that shit to cook while I'm here buttering mine up and stuffing my face.

I'm not doing anything because my uncle's truck is broke and he and my grandmother are diabetic and cant eat anything thanksgiving related anyways.

Plus I have to work from 2pm-10pm. Fuck you Walmart. Fucking making me work 24hrs this weekend. Fuck.

I ordered a whole butchered cow and 3 rabbits and two phesants.

>>3243760
I think potatoes are the only things cooked in a microwave that turns out great. Well, that and yams.

>>3243761
>he and my grandmother are diabetic and cant eat anything thanksgiving related anyways

Pretty sure he could eat the turkey and gravy, just not the desserts or anything potatoey.

>>3243763

Steamed vegies aren't bad either. Just put them in a pyrex bowl with a bit of water on the bottom and cover with wax paper. Vegetables and water and the only thing I ever put in that thing.

>>3243761

Diabetics can eat carbs. Just not in excess.

>>3243768
>>3243773
And also my uncle is a manbaby and doesnt like turkey and my grandma can't eat salt.

So, though I appreciate the effort, we usually just have rolls and sliced low sodium ham and this cheese curd/whipped topping/jello/pineapple stiff for dessert. (all low fat and sugar free of course) Then again neither of them really know how to eat and according to my grandma the doctors say she cant eat pretty much anything she likes, even salads because of these pills she has (cuminin?)

Yeah anyways some holidays we just order dominoes which is alright too, haha. I dont care about the food really, I just wish my job had let me off so I could go stay with my only family for two days. Fucking Walmart, souless bastards.... not even the weekend afterward. Fuck them.

>>3243761
Yikes, sorry about the Walmart thing. I'm planning on going to get some deals, do you hate me? D:

>>3243787
> cheese curd

Meant cottage cheese. It's actually really good.

Celebrating Thanksgiving with my parents and brother tomorrow instead of with friends, which is what I've always done. I have no idea what's on the menu, but I think they're catering from an Italian place.

>mfw no turkey and cranberry sauce this year

>>3243806
Nah. Black friday starts at ten and I have my eye on a nice digital camera. Good thing is I get off just in time for deals. I can go to kohls and maybe best buy.

But I hear amazon is more convenient with a wider range of things and they price match.

>>3243825

My Thanksgiving is joy tier.

I live in Thailand and just went to the nicest grocery store in town to get some Thanksgiving stuff. Frozen Butterball turkeys are about $100 hahahaha. Needless to say we won't be having turkey!

Im not even making Thanksgiving dinner. My family's going to the Home Town Buffet. I know, I know, its retarded but were too lazy to cook :p

>>3243849
Make coq au vin

I Just finished a lot of prep for tomorrow! Before main meal I'm serving:

My significant other is making cranberry apple turnovers with vanilla ice cream for dessert :3

Got my turkey in the brine now, (1# kosher salt, 1# dark brown sugar), gonna fry that bitch tomorrow. And oh HELL no, I didn't cheap out on the oil. I got actual real 100% peanut oil. Sam's Club had 4.5 gals for $39, expensive as fuck, but still by far the cheapest around here.

>>3243906

You know it, mothafucka!

I already made a pineapple upside down cake, and tomorrow I will make a choco-flan.

My mom is taking care of the turkey.
My aunts are going to make another turkey, potato mash, etc... just the regular stuff.
>>3243906
maybe he has a lot of family and not all of them like the same foods?

>>3243905
Yeah man, it feels great when they trust you for something like this. This is my first time making something for thanksgiving.

>>3243241
Yes! I think you can get boxed stuffing next to the instant mashed potatoes. It's quite yummy. :]

I always make tiramisu as dessert for holiday occasions. It's pretty inexpensive to make but it's something that impresses people when you plate it up nicely. It's also light and not overly sweet which everyone likes after a big meal.

I'm on a diet, so I may have some turkey breast and salad. My aunt orders the entire meal from some kind of catering place. Lol.

Feels bad man, I wish I could pig out and get drunk.

>>3243919
Where do you find lady fingers cookies?

>>3243928
>>3243928
Usually in the ethnic/hispanic section of the grocery store. If you can't find them you can always substitute them with slices of angel food cake. Heck I've even done mini ones using nilla wafers

>>3243931
My biggest problem is finding mascarpone. :/

>>3243030
>>3243051
Um, I know you guys asked this a while ago but I'm high so I'll tell you about duck giblet gravy. I'm kinda winging it but what I plan to do is simmer the giblets heart wingtips and neck in some chicken stock then finely chop the meat. I'm gonna deglaze the duck roasting pan with some wine and the stock then thicken with a duck fat roux and add the chopped giblets. The liver is not going in the sauce, its gonna be fried in some butter with s&p chef's treat.

>>3243939
>>3243939
You might have to try higher end places or checking the deli section of your grocery store. Surprisingly I got mine at Walmart so if they have it most others are bound to have it too.

made cranberry sauce tonight.....tomorrow is apple crisp and pumpkin pie....plus an appetizer dip. all for a potluck at my friend's place....should be fun!

im going to get really stoned and pig the fuck out! maybe some home made wine my uncle fixes for the dinner. its white and cloudy, its so good with dry turkey

I was going to make some prime rib with au jous because I didn't want turkey but my restaurant discount fell through and I didn't want to pay full retail for a whole ribeye. So I'm doing a turkey breast, baked macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. The other two items, stuffing and apple pie won't be made from scratch because I have to attend another dinner. I'm debating on whether or not to cook the bird early so I can use scraps and bones to make gravy. And I just remembered that I have no bread so goddamnit.

I'm heading over to my grandparents in NH, they insist to cook everything themselves. I made a chocolate pie and a butterscotch pie (just pudding pretty much).

Grandma's stuffing is OP. Damn that stuff is great.

Going over to my Grandmothers like we've been doing for the past 21 years I've been alive.

Turkey
Whipped Potatoes
Sweet Potato Casserole
Stuffed Mushrooms
A Cranberry Compote

Plus other stuff that escapes me. Like little appetizers that vary from year to year.

Then it's one month till a delicious Italian style Christmas.

cornbread stuffing with wild mushrooms, cranberries, and pecans
mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar
caramelized apples
fresh citrus cranberry sauce
roasted haricot vert and tomatoes
pumpkin pie
spiced nuts

i may make a regular potato dish if i have time, but i haven't decided yet. i'm operating on 0 hours sleep! my mom is taking care of the turkey. it's gonna be a good year

I used Alton Brown's turkey brine recipe. Bird is roasting now.

Dressing, mashed potatoes, greens, deviled eggs, and whatever my guests bring will be served along with the bird.

Last night I made traditional stuffing from scratch and a zingy cranberry-orange sauce.

Today I am making seitan steaks, garlic rosemary mashed potatoes, portabella mushroom gravy, and broiled asparagus.

My boyfriend made cake because he doesn't like pie.

For drink we have champagne and sparkling grape juice.

My friend is bringing eggnog and spiced rum.

>>3243497
Pretty much this.

Turkey
Drop biscuits with gravy
Cranberry sauce

God you suck at reading comprehension

I don't celebrate with a huge meal with 30 people, but fuck it's hilarious to know that my aunt punched my uncle's girlfriend in the eye this morning. I wish I was there to see it.

This is what I'm making:

turkey breast
green bean casserole
broccoli casserole
homemade mashed potatoes
stuffing
sweet potato balls

Last night I deep fried a turkey with my pals. It was my first time doing it, and it came out fantastic. Then we all got stupidly drunk.

Tonight I've got dinner with my dad. His oven was broken when he moved into his house over 10 years ago, and never got it fixed. Anything you can bake, this man can make on a gas barbeque. Including turkey. It's a little black and a little dry, but he makes the best gravy.

Then the night after that I go out to my mom's for prime rib.

THREE FUCKING DAYS OF THANKSGIVING

RE-UPPING MY GYM MEMBERSHIP ON MONDAY

I'm doing the good eats turkey this year.
I put it in the brine all last night. Adding ice, and occasionally turning it. Then today I poured out the brine and stuffed it with cinnamon, apples, and sweet onions.
also having :
yams
green bean casserole
mash potatoes
stuffing
apple pie
sweet potato pie

Its the simplest thanksgiving I've ever had but I'm really excited about it. Also I bought a big bottle of merlot and my dad brought over some good beer so that makes me happy too.

my mother in law is a vegetarian by medical standing and she likes my collard greens and cornbread dressing. I gotta say, I love my greens.

turkey, ham, stuffing, green beans, broccoli casserole, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, mashed potatoes, vegetable tray, rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, some other kind of pie.
