STOKED FOR THE FULLNESS

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Country Life meat, I think you'll find.

― Breaking Under The Crush (kate), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Am actually cooking two traditional anglo-germanic family dishes for meal at friend's house tomorrow. Noodles, and caramel pudding.

JUST WAIT TIL U TASTE MY BRINED FREE RANGE TURKEY ACTION YUM!

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, I eat White Castle Hamburgers - no meat in those things! They're just soy protein flavoured with meat juice. Yum!

Britishers should adopt Thanksgiving as a holiday. Having a warm-up gutbuster turkey dinner a month before Xmas sounds excellent, like pre-season training or something.

does britons eat turkey @ christmas? usa eats goose (trad).

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

We are doing non-trad thxgiving, shrimp & rice & biscuits I think.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

Man, now I want that weird baked sweet potato and mashmallow thing that my housemate's family used to make.

― Breaking Under The Crush (kate), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

Turkey's the traditional British Xmas meal, yes - though my Mum doesn't like it so we grew up on beef and/or lamb roasts for Xmas.

xxxp

how can you hate turkey? YUM YUM YUM.
thanksgiving while on a diet sucks :(

you have inspired me - i will make this.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

How strange. We had goose (and a ham as well, coz geese be small) until we moved to the States - and then switched to turkey.

(x-mas, that is. we never really celebrated Thanksgiving - I usually had it with friends' families.)

― Breaking Under The Crush (kate), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

This is somebody's Christmas present from me.

usa eats goose (trad)

I've never eaten a goose in my life.

xmas main courses include turkey, ham and tamales.

Thxgiving is the universal get-out-of-diet-free card.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

yeah that's why i put the trad tag - no one does this anymore.

― jhoshea megafauna (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I've never had goose at xmas. It's either ham, turkey, or sausage (if my aunt's cooking in the Italian stylee).

holy fuck i'm hungry

Blimey. I actually *want* a Thanksgiving dinner this year. With cranberries and everything. (Out of the can, still standing up, can shaped.) But where in London...

This thread is making my stomach growl. Gotta stop reading.

― Breaking Under The Crush (kate), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

I have at least given myself the early t-giving day present of PUMPKIN PIE albeit mine came from Konditor & Cook. No messin' with Libby's canned this year.

I love doing thanksgiving dinner because of the sausage and wild rice stuffing recipe that I made up; also it is only rubbische cooks who serve dry turkey. There are methods to keep that from happening.

Christmas at one grandparent's was prime rib of beef and at the other it was a lovely HAM. I have done boxing day at my friend N3lli3's parents ever since she moved across the street from us (her dad is English), which means the occasional goose/ham combo or we literally are on the leftovers.

kate, you could try bodeans:

(sorry for the .pdf)

although i'd be guessing they might be full already...

Ha ha, not if I have to sit through bloody football, I'm not!

― Breaking Under The Crush (kate), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmmm, my husband is making sweet potatoes, and also there will be stuffing! And champagne. And turkey. Cannot wait!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

No frying this year, good news for the fire brigade.

There may be nephew-pandering mac and cheese.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure what I'm going to have tomorrow, but it's not going to resemble a turkey dinner. The Chinese buffet may be the way forward.

That your next NaNoWriMo title?

Hahahaha, yeah, "Sarah, careful with that mustard, you'll put your eye out!" (xpost)

― Joe Isuzu's Petals (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

We're going over to my (sort of distant) cousins flat in St John's Wood for dinner. I really hope they have smoked turkey like they did 2 years ago.

Smoked Turkey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Turkey

― g00blar (gooblar), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

I am making sweet potato/pumpkin soup.

Okay so actually I am NOT making that soup because I just talked to my sister and she apparently doesn't have any BOWLS. WTF. She still wants me to make something sweet potato-y though, and I abhore the yam/marshmallow monstrosity.

― stoked for the madness (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

The fams does not do anything sweet potato related. We do squash with LOTS of brown sugar. Yum.

― molly d (mollyd), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

sweet tater pie?

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

No bowls? Use coffee mugs!

Baked 12 lbs yams last night for smashing. 25 lb (!) heritage free-range turkey thawing - goes in the brine tonight. Pumpkin pudding gets steamed tonight. Also, grilled salmon and a quorn turkey-like roast tomorrow. Home-made yeast rolls, corn dodgers, rice and peas with toasted pine nuts, seared chili sesame green beans, canned jellied cranberry sauce (which I LOVE BEYOND REASON!), etc etc etc.

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

Nope. Nothing like that. I am under the impression that it's a Northeastern thing. Pumpkin pie, though... yes! And my Grandma's Swedish Apple Pie which is hands down, my favorite pie ever. Apples + creamy goodness + brown sugar topping = fantastic.

Mmm! Pumpkin pudding! I've never had it! That sounds great, Jaq! My mom LOVES the canned cranberry sauce which she happily places on the table next to her homemade cranberry sauce, which is great.

― molly d (mollyd), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

There will be a pumpkin pudding photo essay over on ILCooking, possibly later tonight. It is Mr. Jaq's favoritest thing ever and also perfect for breakfast. Mmmmmmm.

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

and I abhore the yam/marshmallow monstrosity.

Holiday travel plans fell through at the last minute, so it looks like this year we'll be going to a friend's big throwdown that features awesome food and a more than small amount of boozing. We're bringing apple and blueberry pie. I don't know if I've ever been this happy that plans went awry!

― patita (patita), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

My hostess told me to bring whatever foodz I needed to make the day feel "right", since enough holidays with the in-laws have convinced her that sometimes you just need your own stuffing recipe on hand. She's awesome. I said, as long as there'll be mashed pot w/ gravy, we're good. She said, "Girl, are you ever coming to the right house. The only Thanksgiving wars ever waged in our household was the year Dad forgot to cook the flour into the roux and added the pan juices right away. I don’t think my mom spoke to him for the rest of the day....It was touch and go there for a while."

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

I made this last year and it was a hit. Got it off Epicurious.

THYME-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
This slightly spicy, moist side dish is both deeply satisfying and nutritious. Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, giving them a low glycemic index (this means that they slow the body's absorption of sugar and help regulate blood-sugar levels). A bonus for weight watchers: All those complex carbs will make you feel fuller longer than white potatoes do.

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup fresh thyme leaves, plus 6 thyme sprigs for garnish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 450°F. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and toss. Arrange potato slices in single layer on heavyweight rimmed baking sheet or in 13x9-inch baking dish. Place on top rack of oven and roast until tender and slightly browned, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with thyme sprigs.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Turkey is the prince of all meats.

currently boiling cans of condensed milk on stove, along with chicken for broth.

my girlfriend and i are going to the movies and then to chinese food. we are as non-xtians on x-mas this day -- and i'm really psyched about it!

last year we went to a weird orphans t'giving with stoned hipsters, mostly people we didn't know and could barely talk to... this will be a lot better! if we want the turkey we can just go to some other friends' house the next day right?

leftovers = awesome.

THYME-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Brilliant, I had some sweet potatoes I wasn't sure what to do with. Might cook these up on Sunday!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 November 2006 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

not x-mas today

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Thursday, 23 November 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

ummm, yeah i know it's not x-mas, thanks.

it's the cliche for jews to eat chinese and see movies on x-mas right? that's what we're doing, ok. not trying to have a michael richards moment or be ANT-t'giving, we're just keeping it low key.
