A good turkey cooked well is rich, moist & flavoursome, as well as producing a tonne of delicious & versatile leftovers for all your festive weight-gain needs Any other turkey just gives you the leftovers, but you probably don't want them e: 1983 years ago, God appeared before Saint Paul, in private, to tell him that he was totally in charge of all the Christians now, no need to appear before anyone else & tell them, they can totally take his word for it Borrovan fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Dec 15, 2020 |

Jose posted:its incredible seeing some of the knots people are tying themselves up in to cover up starmer being poo poo yesterday lol I was thinking (yes, really - ahem - anyway): seen so many comments along the lines of 'why don't you fight the tories' or 'don't you ever want to be in power' and the phrase "first take out the mote in your own eye" sprang to mind.

Octolady posted:My Christmas has been made cause I just received some of Camrath's amazing fudge. Totally lived up to the thread hype! I’m just super stoked that you’re so pleased. Enjoy! Darth Walrus posted:Anyone tried the Irish cream? I haven't yet, but 'alcoholic and creamy' just seems like such an obviously successful fudge flavour. It’s good, OP. And I don’t even like the liquor in non-fudge form! Octolady posted:I got the dark chocolate and chilli but if that flavour comes back I'll be ordering immediately It will be back, I promise  Isomermaid posted:Oh god a white russian flavour fudge... White Russian is milk, Kahlua and vodka iirc? Putting vodka in would be a bit pointless as it wouldn’t really leave any flavour behind (being basically alcohol and water), but kahlua I could and will use in the future Thanks again for everyone’s kind words and support throughout the past year! Right now I’m sitting in my new house playing with the PS5 that fudge bought, while watching the cats play hide and seek amongst the forest of moving boxes. And I can’t remember the last time I felt this happy.

Holy poo poo, that's some powerfully misleading wording in that title, especially alongside that thumbnail. The Perfect Element posted:but... we're colleagues, and I didn't labour the point.  My sister in law is still off her shits. I tried explaining about bubbles, but she sat and patiently listened, then said 'right, so if someone leaves the bubble, then someone else comes in, its fine because then there are less than six people in the bubble, right?' We are all going to die.

justcola posted:If you're eating any game, watch out for the shot, a cracked tooth is not a nice way to spend Christmas. I got sick over Christmas two years in a row. Year one was flu that happened to hit between 23rd and 26th December, thus making Christmas travel from a pain to a hell odyssey. Year two was no-poo poo pneumonia which hit after my travel but before the event, and resulted in me spending most of my Christmas break from work in bed. Might have something to do with my struggles to buy presents for my fairly large extended family while working overtime to make sure we were covered over Christmas break though.

Currently planning my xmas meal of solitude (some nice ideas from this thread), so far i've got; Cod or haddock in breadcrumbs (to honour the last fish we ever get after Brexit) Devils in blankets, cause bacon!! and i like prunes so that might be an interesting dish Latkes (i'm seeing them posted everywhere & an irishman needs spuds sometimes) Stirfried brussel sprouts with walnuts Roasted carrots & parsnips Never bother with starters & desserts. Oh and thanks to Jaeluni Asjil for the earlier post on the Fatwa regarding the vaccine, very interesting. :-)

NotJustANumber99 posted:Is there not something from Harry potter you could draw a comparison to in order to explain it to her? Think of the bubble like Dumbledore dying. Once he's dead you can't bring him back to life, like once you leave the bubble you can't add another. Do they bring him back to life in the books though? I dont know. My family seem to be playing bubble bobble themselves this year, with multiple clusters of bubbled houses meeting other bubbled houses and the whole thing sounding loving mad after everyones been isolating all year. They keep oining me to join in this plague swapping fun, but even if there wasn't a virus I wouldn't want to be driven around to siblings partners houses and eat their bland food and listen to racism, so its an easy-ish choice. I'm more worried about my relatives who have lung diseases being swept up in this bullshit.

Someone pointed out last year that all sprout advice essentially comes down to 'cover up the taste of the sprouts with other things.' Last year Iceland did sprouts with marmite butter, if you chuck some diced bacon in with them and roast them in foil they turn out a bit alright. But again, that's more the marmite and bacon doing the heavy lifting there.

You shouldn't use too much so you still get that nice earthy richness from the sprouts. Why you'd cover the taste of one of the best vegetables I have no idea.

It's simple, you have a 50/50 chance that your genes make sprouts taste palatable or like used underwear - if you are the former, you don't understand how anyone could hate sprouts, if you have the latter gene, you can't understand how anyone can let the vile things near your plate. https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/why-do-some-people-hate-brussels-sprouts/ https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2011/nov/01/brussel-sprout-gene Jakabite posted:Noooo not the case with the balsamic at all!

Someone already spoke about the vokda situation, so my contribution will be to consider other coffee liqueur. Kahlua is very sweet, something the fudge wouldn't be lacking already. I use Patron XO Cafe for any cocktail that calls for a coffee liqueur, but I have it on good authority that Mr. black is the gold standard. (Since lockdown my booze budget has went all on beer so I've not stocked up my bar since finishing my bottle of patron)

Disliking broccoli is a serious problem, given how drat healthy it is. Everyone here likes broccoli, even the kids. One whom is a picky eater otherwise. Best served steamed, then drenched in butter, salt and black pepper.

I had a green smoothie in Amsterdam a few years ago and it was delicious. BUT I failed miserably to take note of the ingredients. So the next day I ordered one in a different juice bar (couldn't remember where I got the first one) - extra large - it was horrendous. Loads of kale in it. I was violently sick shortly afterwards.

I hated brocoli growing up but generally like it these days. It's very versitile, unlike cauliflower which is only tolerable when baked in a puddle of cheese (and that dish ruins the cheese more than it enhances the cauliflower).

Put some olive oil on, salt and pepper and shove the whole head in the oven for like an hour to an hour and a half.
