The OFFICIAL Thanksgiving thread

[duff]

But this family also isn't great at mashed potatoes, either, so expectations were never high for the potato dish.

We went out on Thanksgiving, but had mashed potatoes with beef stew on Saturday night. I was in charge of the potatoes and received beaucoup compliments. Because they didn't need to know that before I mashed/whipped, I added an appalling amount of warm cream and butter.

I thought cream and butter were outlawed in NorCal?

Ha! Well, not at my house. And, this dinner was with my non-California family anyway. My parents and brother, and my wife's family all want nothing to do with California, except for my wife, daughter and me.

Good to hear. Next time I am in Bezerkley visiting my SiL, I will have to set up a secret meeting with you to get all the black market goodness that I can't get there.

Am I the only one who hates leftovers? I was particularly upset about being sick on Thursday because there was no way to avoid leftovers because I couldn't not have Thanksgiving food (per my wife and mom). I can handle turkey, but the rest leftover is pretty gross to me.

[mister d]

Agree in general, because I don't want the meal I just had again, but being able to convert Thanksgiving into sandwich form changes it.

[Giff]

Agree on sammiches. My wife made a pretty generic, but tasty turkey soup as well.

[sancarlos]

Thanksgiving leftovers are great, as long as you have gravy to bathe the dried out food.

"Honey, have you ever thought of adding one more ingredient? Might be exciting?"

[mister d]

That's why I come here.

Seconded...I'll even pass on the leftover turkey. The only leftover thing I'll eat is pizza and it's not nearly as good as it is fresh.

[brian]

Leftover pasta is usually almost as good as fresh. Same thing with chili.

The day after brunch is part of why I love T'giving so much.

Mashed potatoes are made into patties and griddled. Toasted bread covered with turkey and a shit load of gravy. Stuffing and whatever else you want from the leftover sides (cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, my mushroom dish*).

That shit is delicious!

* - Besides carving the bird, my other contribution is a mushroom side... sliced mushrooms, scallions, thyme... sauteed in white wine until reduced, finished off with healthy dose of sour cream.

I asked her to put some sausage in it, but alas...

[phxgators]

I'm thinking about smoking the turkey next year. Might get me to finally get to building the bourbon barrel smoker that I've been planning on making (at least I have the barrel, eh?)

Smoked ours for the last few years, there's no going back.

So, the 3-some was a no-go?

[P.D.X.]

Yeah I'm not that adventurous. Gonna stick to the one-sausage-per-soup rule.

But what if you just watched the sausage simmer in the soup?

[mister d]

(The "soup" refers to Giff's wife's vagina, in case confusion was the reason for the silence.)

CREAM OF CUCKROOM

[mister d]

Followup joke where I make a photoshop of Giff wearing this ...



... but I've modified "cook" to "cuck".

[Ryan]

Saw that on /r/specialtrolls

CREAM OF CUCKROOM

OK, this is awesome.

Good thing you have a sense of humor, this thread would have driven a lesser man out of the Swamp.

[A_B]

With all he's been through, I think we know how tough Giff is.

[Giff]

I'm better than OK, you guys!

Hey, I shared that knowing this would happen. It was something I wanted to get off my chest and didn't really want to discuss this with people I see all the time. If you fuckers weren't hilarious, I'd hate you all, I'm sure.

[mister d]

Hey, I shared ... knowing ... I wanted to get off ... and ... see all the ... fuckers ...d...s...

[Giff]

And there you go proving me wrong. Sigh.
