traditional in my mind is:

- turkey
- stuffing (nothing super special)
- canned cranberry
- sweet potatoes
- mashed potatoes
- green beans and carrots
- rutabagas (sooooo yummy)

then usually a stuffing of pumpkin/apple/pecan pie with cool whip from a plastic container

where i come from, we don't call it stuffing, we call it filling

No, not really. If it's moist it shouldn't be hard to swallow, it should be like any other piece of tender meat.

10/27/2009 10:03:29 PM

well we obviously come from different places

10/27/2009 10:03:59 PM

as much as my mom always puts on the table, all i want is

-turkey
-stuffing (dressing, or whatever you call it)
-gravy
-cauliflower with melted cheese
-follow that up with pumpkin pie for dessert like 2 hours later

10/27/2009 10:06:50 PM

^^considering your trailer park Thanksgiving menu, you are definitely correct.

^ it's filling, not dressing

now I am craving punkin pie

10/27/2009 10:13:52 PM

if you think oven roasted turkey is too dry, brine it and then inject it full of molten butter with a meat syringe before you cook it.

10/27/2009 10:21:26 PM

ooooh, that actually sounds really good

10/27/2009 10:24:15 PM

If you think your turkey is too dry, chase it with a shot of bourbon.

10/27/2009 10:24:30 PM

Or maybe get a turkey that better matches your sense of humor

10/27/2009 10:25:42 PM

^ HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOO

he'll be here all night, folks

10/27/2009 10:27:40 PM

10/27/2009 10:40:36 PM

the turkey we cooked last year was the first time i'd ever had a turkey NOT be too dry. and we brined it and cooked it in a roaster oven (like the picture below) and it cooked really fast and was much moister than a turkey normally is when cooked in a traditional oven.



that being said....

10/27/2009 10:49:34 PM

Naw, just a bunch of retards who don't know how to not dry out a turkey apparently

10/28/2009 3:08:43 AM

A church near my house always sells pork shoulders with sauce right before Thanksgiving. Best thing that ever happened to our menu, with the possible exception of my brother figuring out how to mamke dank-ass stuffing. No idea what goes into it. Not sure I want to.

But anyway:

-turkey
-pork shoulder
-mashed potatoes
-turkey gravy
-dank-ass stuffing
-biscuits

Though honestly I prefer the leftovers stage. Pork shoulder biscuits plus mashed potatoes that have been cooked on a skillet like a redneck latke = win.

If you're in DC, this place ain't bad:

Georgia Brown's

I was out of town last Thanksgiving and ate there. I met Dr. Michael Eric Dyson there, too.

I am not having Thanksgiving and will probably be at home with my dog. BUT I always make a punkin pie from scratch, so I think I will continue the tradition.

11/20/2009 4:18:28 PM

does "from scratch" mean taking a real pumpkin, carving out the innards, and turning it into a pie? cuz that sounds pretty freaking awesome. (though i have no idea how on earth you'd do it)

[Edited on November 20, 2009 at 4:19 PM. Reason : .]

11/20/2009 4:19:27 PM

all I know is that I needs that

green bean casserole

11/20/2009 4:21:37 PM

That's what it means!

It's not really hard. You just buy the sugar pumpkins (the smaller ones), cut it into 4ths, scoop out the seeds, then rub them with oil and roast for about 1hr (or more if needed).

Peel off the skin and put the meat in a blender/food processor and puree. Then use it instead of canned pumpkin in your recipes.

11/20/2009 4:21:56 PM

Knob Creek and pickles!

11/20/2009 4:23:54 PM

^^...that doesn't sound that hard.
