because the stuffing soaks with Turkey juice and the Turkey juice has to cook to a certain temperature and since it's denser than a neutron star and at the center of a Turkey it has to heat long past when most of the bird would be edible

except for gravy, that most powerful substance

my phone only recognizes Turkey as a country

I wasted an hour looking around at the chaos that is Thursday night "Black Friday," trying to pick up Dance Central 3 on the cheap. Didn't work. Come home, get on Amazon, pick that up, AssCreed 3, and a thing for my sister, $70 odd. I'd say that's time well spent.

e - oh yeah, and this thing. My first red title, I feel pretty :allears:

This is the first time both me and my bf have been doing a holiday meal on our own and it was a success! :kimchi:

Also my first time rendering kitchen gold.



Also, if anyone remembers my rant about my oven--well, I figured out how to keep it from going 200 degrees above the dial temperature.



Except for burning my thumb pretty badly on the cast iron, today was a success. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I ate the pie. Then there was coffee and liqueur all around. Now I've made it home and the only option is to build a fire a drink scotch until my body forgets how much gravy I imbibed.

Europeans never truly understand America until they've been to a good country thanksgiving, I think.

I blame you, GWS! I used to like and enjoy bad foods like carbonara made with just packet pasta and a jar of carbonara sauce. I can now barely stomach it.

I don't know whether this is good or bad. On one hand I immensely appreciate good food more now, but on the other I can't handle Sandra Lee style cooking any more.

Yay?

We had left over pumkin pie filling and the kids wanted to make muffins. I couldn't find any baking soda (my sister really doesnt cook) so we added pancake mix and tried to make muffins that way.

I told the kids to call them "Pumpkin Lumps" rather then muffins so they people's expectations were lower. They did turn out terrorable but the kids learned a valuable lession about managing expectations.

Gravy was a tad thick this year.

Added a wee too much golden roux to the bird juice.

There's a fine line between "thick and wonderful seasoned meat and veg juice" and "brown jello".

Doesn't help that I used a home made turkey stock that was scoopable jello when it was cool. As the gravy cooled, you could stand a spoon up in it.

Oh well. it's still tasty (and liquid if hot enough).

It's probably the best butter thats widely available here. Of course, one of the things that makes it seem better (at least the salted kind) is that it has a higher salt content than domestic salted butter. But it also has more fat, and more flavor all around.

I usually go for any "European" style butter that I can find, but Kerrygold is the most common. Cranberry sauce on pancakes for breakfast omnomnom

I woke up this morning feeling less miserable than I have since Monday. Throat's still sore, and I'm still hacking up sputum at a disturbing rate, but I'm not running a fever and things don't hurt as much as they did. I'm definitely drained, though; I showered and fixed breakfast and now I need a goddamn nap.

Maybe I'll do Thanksgiving on Sunday...

YLLS has more or less rejected low-carb (there is no longer permitted to be a thread for it) and is less doctrinal than it was. 'Eat like an adult' is the most common refrain there now.

But yes, as a community they do not need help with macronutrient splits any more than GWS needs help boiling eggs.
Yeah I meant that it could be a joint YLLS/GWS effort. YLLS could contribute nutritional input and GWS the culinary side.

In the UK I think Kerrygold is seen as a pretty mass-market butter alongside Lurpak. The high-end stuff tends to be French. I've had some fantastic Normandy butter.

Oh ok then.. get some good heavy wholegrain bread, toast it dark, butter thickly and marmite thinly (like 1/2 tsp per slice).

Marmite is extremely concentrated. Spread it super thin on bread. Tastes like beef and mushrooms. When I bought it a while back a goon suggested using it as a soup base.

Yeah I'm mostly gonna use it for its umaminess, had some on toast right now. Spread thin, and it was quite salty. The lingering aftertaste is nice however.

When I was trapped in helmand for an extended period of time I bartered smokes and american rations to british soldiers for their meals. Inside the packs were tubes of vegemite, which I proceeded to mix with tuna fish and cheese whiz to make a sort of sandwich. I was so starved for flavor that the concoction was divine, when I got back to the states and made it again I almost vomited.

Hunger truly is the greatest sauce. I also still love vegemite.

Marmite is really sweet, which is unusual to someone used to vegemite.

Tonight we went to our regular Mexican place, and my butcher was there a few tables over. On his way out, he stops by my table, glances around suspiciously, and says "tomorrow morning, I have morcilla."

I'm going to be at his back entrance tomorrow before he opens to make sure I get my share. :ninja:
