Who What Now posted:My MIL's stuffing is always soggy and slimy. I hate it. Stuffing is loving easy! The secret is bacon! Just cut up a piece of bacon really finely, mix it in with breadcrumbs and whatever herbs people like, and stuff the hell out of the bird. They say to use an egg in the mix, but screw that. It doesn't have to be eggy. Turkey juice sticks it together. For once it is nice to have a sorta dry stuffing that actually tastes good. Turkey stuffing can be slightly dry, because that's better than slimy, and you might not get much juice into it. But the bacon pieces are heavenly. Tell you mother in law to cut the hell down on whatever oil she uses in her stuffing. Of course, if it's your mother in law, you have to be a little bit circumspect, or, if you want to engage her on her level, you can engage in passive aggressive warfare, and compete to be the world's biggest martyr. It's pretty drat prestigious. To be the Biggest Martyr, to suffer the most for family. To clean up the most and do the most washing. It's not gender-specific either. But remember, you have to complain like gently caress about it at every second while cleaning other peoples' crap. Otherwise you're not the biggest martyr.

Don't make the rookie mistake of eating so much that getting drunk is hard.

My Thanksgiving will consist of 4 people, the way God intended. I sometimes miss the really old days when like 12+ would come to my grandparents house, but mainly for the huge poker games after.

the last couple years at thanksgiving with my gf all the adults would get one of those tiny Lime-a-Rita cans and it would actually seem like some of them got buzzed. i'm 90% sure none of those 20 people actually drink outside of thanksgiving. always pack a flask folks. always.

Smythe posted:thanksgiving was a bigger event when the grandparents were alive and there were little kids around. now everyone is old and the grandparents are dead. rip. neither me nor any of my cousins have children, so its pretty boring.the family is split between ny and la so people dont gather anymore without the old matriarchs to force them. maybe if we have kids we'll get our poo poo together, maybe not. interesting to me to see a family ebb and flow. See, I grew up on the opposite side of the country from everyone else in my family, so I've never experienced a big "family" Thanksgiving, it was just me, my brother, and my parents. It was only special because it was the one time per year we got to eat turkey or stuffing.

I'm lucky. My dad's a drunk, like me. So at least we can both get wasted on his good wine while the rest of the family carries on.

Green bean casserole looks and tastes like some garbage dish pulled out of the back of a Betty Crocker cookbook from the late fifties. If you like it it is because you grew up with it and it brings back happy memories of when Grandma did not give a gently caress and made the shittiest side dish ever. It is Stockholm syndrome in casserole form. Edit: I was close, Invented by Campbells in 1955. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_bean_casserole Applesnots fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Nov 21, 2017 |

Draconi Ann posted:So true. Honestly most Thanksgiving food just reminds me of the poo poo we eat all winter in the Midwest. Green beans...from a can! Cranberries...from a can! Etc. I’d rather have Mexican food. Like lol where do you live in the Midwest you don't have fresh produce during winter? Honestly you're just making poo poo up

Big Beef City posted:I love people who do this. My boyfriend is pescatarian (that's the word for vegetarian but eats fish, right?) so he gets fish at holiday meals. Second year I'm celebrating Thanksgiving with my BF's family rather than going home, and it's more fun, since my family is a bunch of sadsacks at the holidays anyway. Only thing that's weird is how bent out of shape my BF got because his aunt asked us to make/bring a coconut cake or pie because it's their daughter in law's favorite. I'm kind of bent out of shape because holy crap, have baking extracts always been so loving expensive?!

The key to holiday mashed potatoes is just keep adding cream and butter and salt and a little sour cream till you die of a heart attack
