YA READY FOR YOUR TURKEY DINNER?

no talkin bad bout orange sweet potatoes

I'm not a cook - or rather I'm a ridiculously slow cook which is why I normally don't cook - but someone made an amazing ham that made me wish it became the traditional Thanksgiving dish over turkey. On the other hand, if it wasn't for the turkey, we wouldn't have had the amazing stuffing, which was actually cooked in the turkey and also included some chopped bits of sausage inside. Brussel sprouts were also amazing, cooked with thick, chopped bits of bacon. I usually don't eat much meat, so that may have enhanced my appreciation for this one-off splurging.

that’s brunswick stew

The calzones (sweet potatoes, potatoes, quorn, walnuts, brussel sprouts, cheese) turned out amazingly. Mushroom gravy, cranberry sauce, kale salad. The sprouts and kale were from the garden. Possibly the best meal?

Did you go all the way and put in squirrel meat?
― deep wubs and tribral rhythms (Boring, Maryland),

A nutty suggestion.

it can be made with pretty much anything but sadly no squirrel meat (this time)

I had turnips

thanksgiving was just the two of us this year - we were supposed to meet up with ilxor map and his partner out in utah for the weekend but my stupid body decided to get sick so we had to cancel :(

nevertheless, we made all the stuff we were going to bring anyway - mac n' cheese, brussels sprouts, roast carrots, cranberry sauce, plus my guy made a super-delicious roast chicken. and i made the pumpkin cheesecake that we had for dessert (which honestly could've used another couple of minutes in the oven but still tasted great). so all was not lost :)

had a really nice thanksgiving at my cousin’s house, for the first time in forever most of my extended family on my dad’s side were in town (that town being reno) and it was wonderful to see them. by necessity i came out to a few members of my family bc i will probably be changing my government name next year and also i’m tired of being in straight drag around family. everyone i told was very supportive, and i found out a second cousin of mine is nonbinary and going by a new name

for the first time in a while they forgot i was vegetarian but the thing about thanksgiving is that vegetarians can live quite capably off of side dishes. the mashed potatoes were fucking excellent

Four days of Thanksgiving calzones were capped off by Thanksgiving ramen *fire emoji*
