I've been to Wal-Mart twice already today--my two visits for the year--and I didn't see any geese.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 24 November 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

Ha. I made it through and am safely with Conor, Chaki! Does anyone want to enter a fake marriage with me so that I can orchestrate my own painfully awkward family dinners?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 24 November 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Oh I'm full. My brother-in-law made fun of my piled-up plate again this year. (I just don't like getting up for seconds.)

Stephen, did you see the video of the turky fryer fires on boing boing today?

I'm going to see a movie this evening- most of my day was nice & quiet. I picked up some cranberry sauce at the grocery store and baked two pumpkin pies this morning. So my Thanksgiving lunch with my doggie was cranberry sauce, a nice salad with avocado, and a slice of pumpkin pie. Yum.

Turkey fires! http://www.boingboing.net/2005/11/23/firefighter_tests_tu.html

― lyra (lyra), Friday, 25 November 2005 00:01 (twenty years ago)

Lyra, those are great! I sent 'em to my dad when he first suggested this frying misadventure, but since he's a scientist the possibility of fire only made it more appealing.

we talked about meth all throughout dinner

and my aunt talked about people dying in freak accidents in nebraska

We just had a Griswold-worthy dinner. My mom didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or decapitate everyone in striking distance. My 90-year-old grandfather threatened to "punch that guy right in the face next time I see him" -- "that guy" being the one who recommended the horrific restaurant we ate at. My father nearly choked when I said "I swear to God we're eating Swanson turkey." I guess we should have known things were going to be bad when we walked into the restaurant and the sign said "Dress Code Enforced: After 6, men must wear shirts with sleeves." Oh, and the first waitress I saw had a ginormous gauze patch above her eye and was exhaling cigarette smoke out her nose when she asked for our name.

I ate six platefuls today. Right now I want more.

Time for dessert - pumpkin pudding with maple whipped cream. Mmmmmm.

― Jaq (Jaq), Friday, 25 November 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

Did I mention that I feel very UN-Patriotic these days?

But never mind, feed the poor etc.

OH MY BLOODY GOD THERE IS A PICTURE OF MORRISSEY WITH A GIANT BIRD UPTHREAD!!!!!!!!!!

*sweating brow* what can this MEAN???????????????

― Bimble happily opens the door of the motorcar for you (Bimble...), Friday, 25 November 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

After all, if you mess with me I might have to sic my double LP of Peter Gabriel "Plays Live" on you and we wouldn't want that.

― Bimble happily opens the door of the motorcar for you (Bimble...), Friday, 25 November 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

My mother sent us home with loads of leftovers, but we don't have any bread in the house to make turkey and dressing sandwiches... :-(

Oh god that's a tradgedy, I'm addicted to good bread.

― Bimble happily opens the door of the motorcar for you (Bimble...), Friday, 25 November 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

oh my god peter gabriel is making me so goddamn happy

― Bimble happily opens the door of the motorcar for you (Bimble...), Friday, 25 November 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

got home from work and just put some green beans in the oven.
my roommate has prepared a fantastic feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and, yes, sweet potatoes w/ marshmallows on top.
thanksgiving at 1 am with roommate >>>> crazy insane family thanksgiving!

― tres letraj (tehresa), Friday, 25 November 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

I made a vegetarian b'steeya today. It went over REALLY well. I'd never made it before, or indeed anything with phyllo dough...

― Douglas (Douglas), Friday, 25 November 2005 07:53 (twenty years ago)

mouth... watering...

― the jews (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 25 November 2005 07:58 (twenty years ago)

my big thanksgiving tour-de-force last year was a risotto with duck meat and porcini mushrooms. one of the most expensive dishes i've ever prepared, but the crowd went wild so it was totally worth it.

― the jews (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 25 November 2005 08:01 (twenty years ago)

i was so nauseous all day yesterday, i didn't eat a thing, but i just made up for it. now i think tomorrow will be another day for fasting...

― tres letraj (tehresa), Friday, 25 November 2005 08:05 (twenty years ago)

It's all just as good the next day, piled up between two pieces of bread. I have eaten the proof!

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Friday, 25 November 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Then if you've eaten it we can't verify it ourselves! Ya punk!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 November 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

Verify this, Raggett! ::filthy gesture::

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Friday, 25 November 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

mmm that sounds good. It might get really soggy though--maybe stick more bread on top, or even lasagne sheets, and turn the whole thing upside down partway through?

nope, it was awesome. the potatoes and chickpeas absorbed all the liquid but didn't get mushy at all. i hate to brag but damn i'm good, and if thanksgiving was a gun i'd be clint eastwood

and then up at 6 a.m. to get late registration at circuit city for $7.00

― T.O. Sourpuss, Friday, 25 November 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

I did not have turkey yesterday, but today I cooked for myself for the first time in a long time - chicken and asparagus - and it was good!

― youn, Friday, 25 November 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

We grilled duck quarters and my sister's fiance brought a STUDENT HAM. That's a HAM prepared by STUDENTS. We referred to it as the "snack ham". And now we all say "d'oh". And it still smells like duck in the garage. Maybe I should've took the grill all the way out to the DRIVEWAY. Whatever, the boy is going to bring me another beer.

The burger was good

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 25 November 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

I brought my extra pie into work today, and the 10 of us around here are working on demolishing it & watching my dog race around the empty hallways.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Saturday, 26 November 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

chicken and asparagus

Please say it was preserved asparagus because in no part of the northern hemisphere is asparagus in season right now. Ai freighted vegtables are worse than patio heaters.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 26 November 2005 07:54 (twenty years ago)

I think my refrigerator did more damage. Now I will wait until spring. Hopefully, I'll go to England in springtime and eat peas from a garden.

Let us not forget this other T-day thread from stockholm cindy.

i want a turkey dinner on valentine's day, with all the heartcloggingly buttery sides i can eat. where is the best place in NYC to accomplish this goal? (besides making it at home.)

― no bones, Sunday, 12 February 2006 06:04 (twenty years ago)

I was just thinking I should encourage my familyto celebrate Christmas on Valentines Day, as far as giving gifts, taking time off work, everyone home fo the holiday etc. . After all love is more important than magical babies.

The hickory smoked Tofurky slices are really good.
