That’s 11 mins. Do you think i have time to watch this?

Yes because this place doesn’t open til 7 ffs

it's a must for decorum and serving tips

I'm in Disney World!

Does Disney do anything special for Thanksgiving? Do all the restaurants have Thanksgiving menus?

Yes, the parks are open later and I suspect they'll have themed parades. We're at a cabin in Ft. Wilderness -- no park today.

Careful with the alligators

I'm in France, where there is no Thanksgiving, but apparently there is Black Friday????

Business are copying BF more and more in Europe, sadly.

The turkey has just gone into my oven. The neck and giblets are simmering to make stock for the gravy. My guests are due at 5pm. I haven't had this much "free" time for several weeks, and am not sure what to do with myself while dinner cooks.

only about 50 guys know this

Thanksgiving happening in London, albeit with a chicken instead of a turkey. Guest arrival IMMINENT.

a litany of artists and celebrity names flashing through my head

The T-day meal was good but I'm interested in making dressing waffles with leftovers.

i too am interested in this, fedex me the results

Business are copying BF more and more in Europe, sadly.

Yesterday, I explained the ideas behind Thanksgiving to several of my friends here in Vietnam, because they were unfamiliar. But they all knew what Black Friday was already

we had fun. 20 people at our house. friends and family. it was nice. a baby. a dog. a 23 pound turkey. sambuca in my coffee.

Good meal all around and the turkey already fully broken down and turned into stock and soup and everything cleaned up and we’re chilling. That works!

The guests have gone, the leftovers are chilling in the fridge, and I'm hoping my overstuffed feeling will soon pass.

IT IS THE DAY

Microwaved myself a Marie Callender’s turkey pot pie for lunch, no complaints whatsoever.

My wife and I ordered a mushroom pot pie from a fancy restaurant for our main dish and are supplementing with a bunch of homemade sides and dessert. All vegetarian except for some bacon in the brussels sprouts.

One member of our household is having turkey, though.

bout to do it

since we’re not having anyone over we felt like turkey was a bit much so we bought some ribeye steaks. pretty sure i’m going to do this every year now tbh. the steaks that is, not the not having people over. london is usually a neat place to do thanksgiving because you get to invite other americans over that you maybe don’t see enough of. i did it up anyway though, just with smaller portions. cranberry relish, mashed butternut sqash, cornbread, wild rice, the aforementioned ribeye, and i made fuckin lava cakes for dessert. AND PUT IN A DAY’S WORK TOO.

I knew in advance that there would be a very high demand for small-sized turkeys this year. My wife wanted to have a turkey for just the two of us, for the delight of having many leftovers and some delicious dishes that use leftover turkey.

We ordered online, selecting a "12 lb. or thereabouts" sized bird. When we came to pick it up, the nearest size they had was almost 18 lbs. Our roasting pan was barely big enough. My wife shall have her wish for leftovers come true. Including braised Brussels sprouts, delicata squash, saute'd zucchini w/ mushrooms, wine, and pumpkin custard.

we’rejust the 2 of us but i wanted turkey & leftovers so

mr veg brined a turkey breast & it’s in the barbecue now :)

i am making gratin dauphinoise, glazed carrots & raw squash salad sides

dessert is “twofer thanksgiving pie” ie combo pumpkin-pecan pie

it’ll be nice i think!

this was year 2 (I think) of Quorn brand meatless loaf. much prefer it to Tofurkey, though speaking its name is even more embarrassing.

Taking a break here! So we preordered in a full precooked turkey and in the past six hours I broke it down and made stock. Separated out some stock, cooled up mirepoix and simmered it and a batch of the turkey to create a lot of soup for freezing. Then there's whatever turkey we have over the next couple of days and the rest I'm going to cube or shred and freeze. (The shredded turkey I have plans for -- creating a chili from scratch later in colder months.) And that leaves turkey for tonight, with a quick prep of spicy green beans later, and everything we ordered in yesterday we just heat up and eat (gravy, cranberry chutney, stuffing, roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts -- and a small Dutch crunch apple pie). Meanwhile the turkey carcass is already in the outside trash and the kitchen is cleaned up. It’s like I’ve achieved Thanksgiving satori.

I bought a couple turkey thighs for my dinner-for-one meal (only going to cook one of them). Potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions in the pot with it. And I made a pumpkin pie yesterday.

Switching from turkey to a basic meat+potatoes+carrots pot roast (that I make - bless my family but none of my grandparents or parents took an interest in cooking and my mom is still terrible) remains the best holiday decision I've made. Turkey sucks.

I also just wanna say to everybody out there who decided to just make pasta or order some indian food tonight? I get it

Sides are where it's at so I just got a small boneless turkey breast. Sliced and heated in the gravy, it's an afterthought to the cornbread dressing (tried to recreate my mom's recipe, result was a B or B-) and grated-not-mashed sweet potato casserole (ditto, A++), creamed corn, peas, rolls, etc.

Just hosted my mother, my sister, and her boyfriend. My sister doesn't eat meat or poultry, but the rest of us did a pretty thorough job on a 12-pound turkey.

spent Thanksgiving alone for the first time in my life. for dinner I finished the cauliflower and blue Stilton soup I made last night. p solid, would make again with a less pungent cheese. a solo turkey dinner would have been (more) sad and (more) labor-intensive, probably.
