I bought the Guardians of the Galaxy PS4/5 game because of Black Friday digital sales, and it's a surprisingly fun game, especially after Avengers seemed to be nothing but a universal disappointment.

We make the stuffing in the bird and about 150% more stuffing and then we mix the bird-stuffing with the extra stuffing so it winds up moist but not soggy. Also usually the turkey comes out good, my mom and sister do some sorta tent system thing I don't know. My mom can't really help any more and my sister's increasingly crippled and she got a smaller bird than usual ("to make it easier") and by her schedule, 2pm was when we were supposed to start seeing if it was done, and it was at 190+ in the thigh when I checked it lol. SO yeah, dry and bad this year. But I just made stock, so I still get my turkey soup. And we smothered the dry turkey with homemade gravy and homemade cranberry sauce and it was still edible that way. also I just spent close to thirty thousand dollars lol I feel a little sick and it's not the turkey bought a car

Best turkey I ever had was a last minute friendsgiving that only happened because my friend was able to get a non frozen turkey like that morning. It was so moist, to the point I seriously don't understand how my family is so bad at it, they are good at everything else for food.

Turkey stock made, stripped pretty much all scrap meat off the bones, thinking of what to make with all this extra food. As for the other leftovers, I'm thinking of taking some of the mashed potatoes, making small disks, and pan-frying them.

It sounds like it writes the characters well, I’ll try to get it on sale sometime this winter. Definitely interested.

seiferguy posted:The only way I've thoroughly enjoyed turkey was when my uncle deep fried it, and alas I'm still a little too scared to attempt that. The risks are real but exaggerated. Don't set it up right by your house, don't have kids/pets running around it, make sure the turkey is 100% defrosted, lower it slowly into the oil (and don't panic if there's a bit of volcano action up the middle of the bird, it's normal, just back it off or slow down), don't leave it unattended while it's cooking. I won't say poo poo like "it's not any more dangerous than normal cooking", because duh that's obviously not true. They still haven't found a way to deep fry a turkey in a totally safe manner at home. But life is about managing risk, and a non-dumb person frying a turkey with normal precautions is taking an extremely minimal risk for a fantastic gain.

Hot Diggity! posted:I have purchased the board game "Unfathomable" and look forward to playing it I bought Robinson Crusoe like three months ago and haven’t had the energy to go through the fairly extensive rule book yet lol. Also it’s a 4 player game and we usually have 5 people who want to play on game nights. Also I completely forgot about my friend’s family’s fried turkey poo poo show like a decade ago. His dad had an unbelievable string of New Year’s Eve accidents three years in a row. Year one, his dad drove home drunk from the bar and forgot to put his van in park and their property is a very steep slope from the road down to the backyard and the van rolled all the way down the backyard and slammed into a tree at the property line and totaled it. The next year he was snow blowing the driveway and his blower clogged up and he stuck his hand in it (while drunk again, surprise) and lost halves of two of his fingers, and the third year he fried a turkey and burned the garage down to the foundation lol. Don’t do things wasted, is the moral of the story.

I've told my dad several times to deep fry it and he has the equipment to (plus a hell of a lot of land to do it safely away from the house). Hell, I'll buy the oil if that's the hold up!

What do you do with the oil afterwards when you deep fry a turkey?

Using the leftover ham bone to make some soup stock today. The future holds a lot of ham and bean/cheesy potato soups.

What's a field roast sausage? Because my understanding of pescatarian is "vegetarian that also eats fish" and I don't know what type of sausage fits that definition.

She’s alright with the occasional meat juice flavor. Like she’ll pick off pepperoni off pizza and still eat it just fine. We deliberately tossed it in the frier to see how they’d turn out. She was involved every step of the way. This wasn’t a fast one pulled on someone.

Last year I made a heavily seasoned turkey in the slow cooker and it was incredible, didn't get a chance this year but we're gonna do it when my fiancee's parents visit in December. It was like impossible to carve because it was so tender, I loved it.

We had a public holiday this week on the Tuesday so the missus and I did our Thanksgiving then. Can't just go to any old grocery store and find turkey, gravy, and everything else over here, so had to make a couple special orders and comb through the import food shop nearby and get a bit lucky in the process. But turkey breast, stuffing, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy and cranberry sauce (!!) all made it to the table. if we have a bigger day with friends then it'd be time to order a full bird, but for two people we even were able to do it as leftovers the next night as well, so a success all around.

Also it’s a 4 player game and we usually have 5 people who want to play on game nights. Robinson Crusoe is brutal, but fun! Only played it once though. I'm a sucker for co-op games because then at least you know not only one person is getting hosed over the whole time, which makes getting groups together a bit more palatable. Unfathomable is a remake of the old and very out of print Battlestar Galactica game. Co-op plus hidden traitor(s). Seems pretty fun, allows for some light roleplay like Betrayal at House on the Hill which I always appreciate. I like the euro style pure strategy optimum build games fine (Scythe is a game play a bunch of), but sometimes it's nice to get a game of goofy chaos which this seems to fill the role of.
