Dressing > Stuffing - the idea of all that stuff gettin all gross in the bird makes me wanna barf
We had Thanksgiving with our close group of friends last night. Going down to my parents' place on Thursday.
Yeah we did "Friends Giving" last Friday. Someone smoked a turkey mmmmmmmm
Ham on thanksgiving, Maurice?? Noooooooo!!! Why?? :haha
Ham is for Xmas dinner!
goin' to clallam bay, gonna play skyrim until i HNNNNNNNNNNGH and HNNNNNNNNNNNGH againF U
What do I make for thanksgiving? I have hamburger helper!
I work tomorrow and then off for 5 days. New job :bow2
Everybody's coming to my house. His mom and my mom always make some sides, appetizers, and/or desserts, but they're taking over extra stuff to take the stress off their first grandfetus. Being pregnant :bow2 My husband makes one damn delicious turkey (and I used to hate turkey!), and I make garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, deviled eggs, dinner rolls and a salted caramel apple pie. :drool My mom's making me a ham too, because I used to hate turkey, but now that I love turkey, I just get to be extra fattyfat and eat two types of meat. :drool
My mom wants to come over Wednesday to help me clean and start cooking, since I'm basically an invalid. Being pregnant :bow2 Unfortunately, our house is clean already, so unless she wants to scrub baseboards or flip mattresses, she going to be bored. So I might have her come out to "help" and she can stress test the Dyson while I mop, and then we can go shopping and fuck off all day.
salted caramel apple pie
I'm cutting off carbs completely until Thanksgiving. Then I'm gonna lift like a mad man before dinner so I look as ripped as possible in front of the family.
Yes, I'm a narcissist.
also this is total white whine but i can't play video games because i have to go to two thanksgiving dinners this year, and then go stand in line for some bullshit midnight black friday thing (i have been practicing my dookie face for this part)
I need to write down my recipe, but it's basically an apple pie (with fresh apples), and then I make homemade caramel, add in some sea salt, and into a pie crust it all goes.

going to try to pick up a hot cousin?
Smooth Groove, how would you family respond if your sister arrived at dinner with your black basketball partner?

:whip
I'm guessing the black Friday thing isn't your idea. :lol
i have to visit the gf's family
i'm not really a family person so this will be a few hours of hell
Tell your gf to say something like "I believe god is inside us and all around us and thus can't limit my praise for him to inside a particular building." might shut em up

I don't think that's gonna work with PD's family.
My aunt just texted me to ask if I'm going to the dinner. 1st, I don't know how she got my number. 2nd, WTF did old people start texting too?

How do they treat you? While I don't think my family would blatantly disrespect a white girl, I do get asked every year if I'm dating a nice church going black girl, and asked "you're not dating a white girl are you...?" "Too many black men are dating them blah blah." At least that's how my aunts, one uncle, and grandma are on my mom's side. My parents wouldn't care
I'm still kind of dreading someone asking my lady friend "what church do you go to?" on Thursday
Sheeeeit. That's my mom. She used to be terrible at texting but now she texts like a teenager "r u n diana going 2nite?" It's mind boggling considering in real life she's so well spoken.My aunt just texted me to ask if I'm going to the dinner. 1st, I don't know how she got my number. 2nd, WTF did old people start texting too?
My mom got an iPhone and texts all the time. :-\ She's getting better at it, because for awhile all her messages looked like, "whens ur dR appttttttttTtttttTTTTTTTTTTT" Now I just get "I'm heading ur wAy." No clue where she picked up the "ur" but it sure as hell wasn't from me.

Just had my first PB&J sandwich in ages, fucking glorious
Family haters unite.
At least you don't have to COOK for them. I'm cooking for people I abhor!
I remember when I was young my uncle told me cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner was the best way to get the best Christmas presents later, and "make the ladies happy down the road..."
He was right lol, I got so much Christmas shit :bow
I might not even do dinner tonight. My wife's family does it too late. They're saying 7 or 8 but I know in beanspeak that's actually 9 or 10. Well Wal Mart opens starts their sale at 10 and fuck them for starting this shit too late. I'm fucking tired of it. So I'm bailing out at 9 whether they've started or not. I don't give a flying fuck.
every year I burn my mouth because i'm too dumb to let cranberry sauce cool
this year is no different
I genuinely like my family. Gonna eat too much, drink a lot of homebrew, watch football and play Settlers of Catan with some cousins.
Happy Thanksgiving, Bore. You're good people.

I didn't even know cranberry sauce was ever served hot. We just dump the can or jar into a bowl and stick a spoon in it. BANG. DONE.
we dont do Thanksgiving here in NZ. Whats the concept? Eat a lot of food with family and be thankful? Thats what we do on Xmas here
dinner #2 was awesome, my SO is a really good cook
basted ham, roasted turkey breast which had been marinated in i don't know what but it was good, some sort of stuffing with apples and pecans and all kinds of herbs, homemade mac and cheese, homemade mashed potatoes, salted caramel pecan pie (i told her about yours, lennedsay, and she immediately made one, haha), pumpkin cheesecake
her brother and his girlfriend are staying the weekend, so i didn't feel right about taking leftovers :(
