So Princesca decided we were hosting Thanksgiving this year, which means we'll have 19 people over. :bleeding:
Just picked up a giant turkey and earlier I hung a painting over the fireplace and a bunch in the bedroom. Next I have to finish cleaning my office because "I want to be able to leave all the doors open." :rolleyes:
OTOH I discovered that there's a Moe's Southwest Grill within walking distance from the dealer I take my car to for service. Pork burrito FTW. :cool:
Fucking Canadians.
What side dishes do you make for your Thanksgiving, Cal? We have a set menu that we've had every year for about 20 years now, though my sister and I have tried to change it up a bit.
- Green Bean Casserole
- Scalloped Corn
- Scalloped Oysters
- Cranberry Sauce (finally homemade instead of canned)
- Sage stuffing
- Giblet gravy
- Mashed potatoes (lumpy with just milk and butter, but this year I'm making a second one with roasted garlic, sour cream, and chives
- Sweet potatoes (no more marshmallows! We now make them fresh and use maple syrup or brown sugar and butter instead)
- Six different types of pies: apple, cherry, pumpkin, blueberry, minced meat, and whatever cream pie my sister thinks sounds good
There are also the snackie things we have before dinner like olives, pickles, crudites, etc. :mmm:
Because we're hosting it and doing the turkey, we're not 'officially' doing any side dishes... the other guests will be bringing them. That said, I may still make a loaf of bread and bake a bean pie.
It's always the same side dishes with Princesca's family. I can't say for sure what we'll have but it will all come from the below list:
* green bean casserole
* broccoli casserole
* oyster dressing
* regular dressing
* mashed taters
* devilled eggs
* cranberry sauce
* banana quarters rolled in mayonnaise and peanuts
* seven layer salad
* ham and cheese rolls
* grits casserole
* creamed corn casserole
Desserts:
* pumpkin pie
* pecan pie
* fried apple (individual) pies
* Italian cream cake
* carrot cake
* red velvet cake
* cookies (usually no-bake or chocolate chip)
Moe's is delicious poison.
I made turkey last week. Brined it in apple cider.

SIGH.
They sound like shit, I know, but they're actually not that bad. I make a point of eating at least one because it makes Princesca's cousin's wife (who makes them) happy, and I like making her happy because she has huge tits.

An understandable motivation, but that you have to have a motivations beyond the taste of the food itself doesn't do anything to make her cooking sound better.

You need to be careful posting things like this with Tim around, just the mention of bananas is a sexual act to him much less rolled in mayo and nuts. He's probably going to have to go rub one off after reading this.

Take a loaf of French bread and a bottle of wine.
I much prefer Easter food. Turkey is pure meh in my opinion. Ham is much better. Thank Hod we always roll out some kielbasa in an awesome sauce and pierogies for every holiday. :thumbsup:

Absolutely. I have a pretty small family, at least locally: my folks; me and my 2 daughters; my brother, his wife and their dog. The eight of us will get together Thursday and spend a few hours together watching football and eating too much then go on our ways. My oldest has her drivers license now so I could even have a second or third beer.
The next day starts the worst month of the year. Fucking with Christmas lights, dealing with my mom and her 4 hour long quest for the most perfect, tallest tree that can possibly fit into their house, stressing about buying gifts for people that don't
need anything. Bah Humbug.

Cal, what do you mean by hanging paintings everywhere? Is that some kind of tradition or are you just "dressing your home", as the makeover artists say?
Off to the annual event at my American friend's house tomorrow for about the tenth year running. She's hosting 20 guests this year. The usual spread is:
Turkey latticed with streaky bacon
Two types of stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Milk gravy
Biscuits (the American kind, not chocolate Hob-Nobs)
Sautéed green beans with almonds
Sweet potatoes
Pumpkin pie
Ice cream
Can't wait, I've been starving myself all week in preparation :mmm:
milk gravy?
streaky bacon?
Quote from: katmai on November 23, 2011, 04:42:53 AM
milk gravy?
streaky bacon?
The milk gravy is my friend's nan's recipe.
I think in America all bacon is streaky (made from belly pork with fat running through). In the UK we have back bacon that's got hardly any fat too, made from pork loin.
Wiki sez:
QuoteIn the United Kingdom and Ireland, smoked and unsmoked varieties are equally common, unsmoked being referred to as green bacon. The leaner cut of back bacon is preferred to the bacon from the belly (that is ubiquitous in the United States) which is referred to as streaky bacon due to the prominence of the bands of fat. While there is a tendency on both sides of the Atlantic to serve belly bacon well-done to crispy, back bacon may at first appear undercooked to Americans.
Though I've never heard it called green bacon, which smacks of Dr Seuss :hmm:
kat, milk gravy is the kind you put on biscuits and gravy. I usually make it with sausage. Method: cook up half a roll of bulk sausage (I always use Purnell's medium hot... Purnell's is made here locally) in a skillet, add a cup of water, a cup of milk, and some flour and pepper, and cook until thickened.

Yep, and none of the religious guilt bullshit associated with Christmas and Easter.
It is just getting together with friends and family, and sitting back and saying "Hey, life is pretty good, lets eat too much and have fun".

What kind of paintings?
The dazzling urbanites downstairs started their bird around 6am, I could smell that baby by 7am.
I just hope they don't leave for 4 hours while it's cooking all day. Because that's the stupid shit dazzling urbanites do, and they make the papers the next day after they've burned the building down.
Quote from: jimmy olsen on November 24, 2011, 09:43:55 AM
What kind of paintings?
Ok, I guess accurately it's a mix of paintings and pictures. Over the fireplace I hung a huge landscape painting... it's like a picture of a forest in mostly hues of brown (matches the mantle) with sunlight shining through. Downstairs, I hung an equally large painting of the Matterhorn, over the sofa. Above our writing desk I hung a smaller painting of an English countryside-looking pastoral scene (basically a bubbling brook lined with leafy trees in summer).
In the bedroom, I hung three blown-up (8x10) photographs. One is of a bunch of boats tied up on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, which I took myself. One is of the beach at Edisto Beach, South Carolina, which I also took myself. The final one is a picture of Anacapri looking down from Villa San Michele. While I was there and took a bunch of photos from that vantage point, none of them turned out (it was a foggy, overcast day) so I found one on the Internet and edited it to my liking with Paint.NET. :blush:
Princesca also wanted me to hang some painting (I forget what of) in the dining room, but the spot where she insisted on hanging it was setting off the AC detector off like crazy on my stud finder, and I ain't getting electrocuted for the sake of her dining room looking busier. :glare: So I stashed it behind the liquor cabinet in there and she didn't seem to notice. :)

Yeah, Thanksgiving is pretty swell. Some people are lucky and have both Canadian and American family, and thus get to have two Thanksgivings.

At least he isn't bugging the living shit out of me any more for a nomination.
Today I ate the following:
breakfast was a piece of banana chocolate chip bread (I made it earlier this week) and espresso.
lunch was:
turkey
cornbread stuffing
mashed taters
gravy
mixed vegetable casserole
green bean casserole
some homemade bread (I made this also)
cranberry, sweet tater, and raisin chutney
grits casserole
German tater salad
banana croquette
lunch dessert was:
bourbon chocolate pecan pie (I made this)
pumpkin cake
this cute little cake thing that looked like a little turkey on a popsicle stick
fried apple pie
dinner:
honey baked ham
green beans
stuffing (think this was wheat bread stuffing)
gravy
mashed taters
sweet taters
rolls
dinner dessert was:
bourbon chocolate pecan pie again
regular pecan pie
french silk pie
After dinner my father in law, Princesca, and I played with guns. He checked out the Glocks and Taurus we're borrowing and will probably buy, and I played with his Bersa Thunder 380. It's like a Walther PPK knockoff, I guess. That thing is teeny and light as a feather... but it's weird that it's chambered .380 and uses a blowback design. :hmm:

Unless you've got some dysfunctional family issues to deal with, it is perhaps the lowest stress level holiday left. Which is nice. None of the consumer-based frenzy of Christmas, none of the religious sensibilities mildly insulted around Easter gatherings.

She told me how she got to be a Kentucky Colonel, which I didn't know before. Back in the 1970s, she was a lunch lady. Her school won some big reward for the highest test scores in the state, and because of that they made
every single staff member at the school a Colonel. :lol:
I went to see my mom's side of the family, whom I had not seen in about half a decade. It was actually pretty fun except for 1)the seatbelt ticket WTF, and 2)them giving me shitty terminal guidance once I got into town so it took like forty minutes to find their house.

Oh, yeah, and I was talking to her grandfather about the Dubya Dubya Two some more. His brother Georgie was in the USMC in the Pacific (which I already knew), but he told me how he got all the Jap gold teeth that he's got in a big jar. Apparently Georgie was a telegraph operator/line layer or something like that and he and a buddy, every time they came upon dead Japanese soldiers, used to work as a team in looting their teeth: his buddy would take a knife and slit the dude's mouth so it fell open and Georgie would kick the teeth repeatedly until he'd knocked them all out, and then they'd pick through them looking for gold ones. He said nearly every one had a gold tooth but sometimes you'd be lucky and find more than one. America: the good guys. :cool:

I had a McGriddle for breakfast. With the bacon wraps (bacon wrapped around stuffing and put on a tooth pick) and cheese puffs (butter/cheddar cheese with flour and a bit of cayenne) we had as appetizers I was beyond full by the time dinner was served.
Georgie's still alive and he's a pretty cool guy, actually. He owned a local chain of skating rinks around here and he and Grandpa Harry still own tons of land in Bullitt Conunty. Who'd ever guess that a skating rink guy is a psychopathic war criminal? :hmm:

I'm a delicate flower.
I thought bad things were going to go down when I ate that bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos yesterday, but my Iron Tract rallied. I was kinda worried when I was at my cousin's, though, since it's been a while, but I should never have doubted myself. There won't be defecation till I say there shall be defecation: this has always been my motto.

No joke, me too. I eat White Castle, I shit liquid worse than a Victorian age sub-saharan rail worker with dysentery.
I don't like to use the can outside of my wolf's lair.
I've only had to use foreign facilities about three or four times in the past decade. I'm amazed other people aren't just swarming with AIDS.

Your OCD is amusing.
When I was working for the man, I never let anybody use my office restroom. And I got PISSED if I thought anybody was in there without my permission.
GTFO of my throne room.

UNCLEAN.
I'm so glad to finally find out I am not the only one who has a problem sitting on germ-infested public toilets, I avoid it whenever possible but I'm not as bad as I used to be. I'm not a germaphobe in any other situation.
Fuck you people are strange.
Ièd much rather shit in public toilets - I do not have to clean them after all... :cool:
What do you regularly spray the sides of the bowl? :yuk:
It's not really a germ thing for me, I was joking around. The grossness of other people's wastes doesn't help, but really it's more of a privacy thing.
The only annoying thing about public restrooms is all the fag bullshit written on the ways. 4 GOOD HEAD B HERE ON TUES @ NOON.
Bleech.
Disappointed no one turned up at noon? :console: :P
I don't like public rest rooms either. Just can't get comfortable.
