Desert is going to be a pecan bacon cheesecake. Looking forward to it!

>>13280037

>tfw not an american
literally seething, our slav holidays are shit, new year and christmas is good, easter is ok, rest is some national anticommie antifascist or christian shit
>no thanksgiving
>no halloween
>no independence day
>no st. patrick's day

Had 7-11 pizza last year for thanksgiving, might do it again

Reminder that turkey, yams and all the other nasty shit people cook tomorrow is fucking disgusting and you don't need to cook food from the 1800s just because muh tradition.

>>13280053
Christmas and easter is christian as well
Not american, but Halloween and st. Patrick looks kino af

>>13280067
yams are fine if you add enuf sugar

most people don't buy heritage birds, they taste better

>>13280070
I know, by the rest of christian stuff I mean some virgin mary shit etc.

>>13280058
thanks for sharing

>>13280020
dios mio...

>>13280058
treat yourself better than that

Tbh I didn't to shopping yet and I'm going tonight so I doubt I will find much. What should i make?

Could do chicken and dumplings, maybe as a main course. Only gonna be my roommate and myself so I don't need to go fucking insane (especially since I know they won't eat all that much)

When I lived in Houston, I'd usually eat Thanksgiving Dinner at my favorite Indian restaurant.

Are any stores going to be open tomorrow or do I really have to do all my food shopping today?

>>13280020
OP from the previous thread here...

So I started trying to take pictures with my phone to post on here. Somehow I am banned. Totally gay and annoying. Anyway, glad that we are rolling into a new thread! I'll try to take pictures again somehow, I guess...

>>13280058

posting pic from my turkey thread. first time doing the wet brine/defrost method

>>13280726
You need a shitload more herbs in there if you want them to actually impart some flavour.

>>13280791
Thanks anon, i have a bunch more I can throw in

>>13280726
what kind of weak ass piss water brine is that famalamazoid

>>13280832

enjoy your flavourless turkey senpai

>>13280853
don't senpai me or my turkey ever again

Baking a turkey for the first time this year. What ingredients do you recommend in the brine if I want it to be spicy and sweet?

>>13281133
Your gf's (male) essence.

>>13281206
Are you saying that anon's tranny gf should jerk off onto the turkey just before he serves it to his extended family? What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>13280703
You using cell data to post? It happens to me sometimes too then goes away. But I can’t start a thread.

>>13280020
I posted in the last thread. Anyone else ditch the family and go to the casino for Thanksgiving? I'm having the most insane farts from my oxtail/cajun feast last night (casino buffet in Louisiana)

>>13281303
>kids love Jojo Siwa and Captain Marvel
I hate kids today

>>13280070
>>13280076
>holiday named after the pagan god of fertility is Christian
>holiday that lies about the Christian prophets birth and uses pagan traditions to do it is Christian
Is the celebration of demons and the undead during October also Christian?

>>13282605
I don't doubt it honeynut, with taste like that I'm sure the self hate runs deep.

I'm ready

When do yall eat Thanksgiving dinner? My family always eats it around 3 pm. I never understood and getting the turkey in around 9 am can get stressful.

>>13282666
Depends on where. This year it'll be 11:30 because that's when the majority are eating. I'd argue the best time to eat is 2-3 if that's all you're eating for the day but I can eat any hour of the day or night so I don't mind.

>>13282637
Baking, smoking, or frying?

>>13282666
Same, with my family growing up is was around 3pm. This year with my in-laws they eat that the same time IDK WTF is up with everyone eating around this time

FUCK FUCK FUCK
this is my first year doing this and i didn't realize it had to be thawed.
Whats' the qiockets way to thaw a 23 lb tueky? It's 9pm

>>13282748
Holy shit dude.

>>13282759
can i just cook it frozen?
I'm filling my bathtub up with hot water, I'm going to try soaking it in some salty water in there.

>>13282778
No, it needs to be thawed. Warm water will help but don't make it too warm. Also tell your guests to be late.

>>13282727
Frying

>>13282778
Mmmmm, I detect notes of soap scum, just a hint of twat shavings, and the very slightest essence of freshly washed off dingleberry.

>>13282619
well, if you celebrate borning and death/ressurection of jesus instead of pagan god of big cock you celebrate christian holidays not pagan ones, regardless of them being on same date

>>13282814
If you want to celebrate Christs resurrection fine but literally every other aspect of that holiday, including the name is pagan. And Christmas is completely pagan, Christ wasn't even born in the winter.
I've met plenty of Christians who celebrate these holidays and have no problem with these things because "it's fun" and "I love God so it's ok" but i've always been of the mind that religion isn't about what you want or don't want to do but what you must do. Maybe i'm missing something though.

>>13282748

Either three days or 72 hours. It's the same either way.

>>13282666

I've heard that 3 pm is a popular time for Thanksgiving Dinner.

I'd like it a lot better than noon. Of course, my usual lunch time is 3 pm or later. Today I ate lunch at 4:30 pm.

>>13282827
I am aware of that, but still when I put up christmas tree to celebrate baby jesus it's a christian holiday, the fact that whole tree thing was originally some pagan druid tradition doesn't play much role. All those symbols are pretty universal, it's not like I am using an elephant headed statue to celebrate christmas. And you can put up the same tree and other shit and make it pagan holiday.

>>13282864
It IS a pagan holiday anon. Christ wasn't born on that day and putting a tree in your house has nothing to do with Christianity. There is nothing about Christmas that is Christian besides your intent.

>>13280703
MODS, ban evasion!

>>13282871
How is celebrating jesus a pagan holiday? That intent is what makes it christian holiday, not decorations you use or historical date accuracy.

>>13282871

For a traditional Christmas, you should use candles on the tree instead of electric lights and cross your fingers about burning down your house.

Also, gather the neighbors together, catch some cats, climb up on top of the church with the cats, and throw them off. I'm not sure this was a Christmas tradition. It's supposedly a holiday tradition, but I don't know which holiday.

>>13282885
If I decorated my house with spoons and lit a bed sheet on fire to celebrate God is that a christian holiday?
>>13282888
Point made.

So whose gonna be the poor bastard that drops the turkey this year?

>>13282929
Probably not, but if millions people would do it seriously and every year then it surely is.

>>13282953
I'm gunna make my ten year old nephew carry it to the table this year. Fingers crossed.

>>13282963
You're saying it is man that decides what is Christian and not God?

>>13282971
there aren't any recommendations in bible about how to celebrate him, God wouldn't care if you use spoons or tree

>>13282989
You know what God cares for?

>>13282999
I guess that honest intention behind the holiday you said is the only original thing there

>>13283005
What are the honest intentions of man compared to the commands of God?

>>13283017
what the actual fuck

>Be me
>Be a bachelor living on his own who never gets to make meals without having to always adjust the portions or eat the same fucking thing for several weeks and never receives direct feedback

>"Oh hey Mom what are we doing for Thanksgiving?"
>Tells me oh just the usual. Turkey, gravy... You know all the shit you've probably been given many opportunities to eat all throughout the month of November
>"I was thinking I could bring something over mys-"
>"I made a lot of food so you don't have to bring anything over. You can bring nachos maybe probably"

Mom for fuck's sake.
I had good ideas too.

>>13283021
It's an honest question anon.

>>13283027
Why don't you just make it and bring anyways? Also are you a spice who brings nachos for Thanksgiving?

>>13283027
You should probably strangle her to death. Yeah, yeah dude, kill her. And then? And then serve HER for thanksgiving. That'll show em, that'll show em all anon. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be great.

>>13280020
I just finished making a tasty NY style cheesecake for dessert after the thanksgiving feast tomorrow. Pic absolutely related. It just finished cooling in its waterbath in the oven, and it separated from the sides of the spring form pan perfectly, no cracking at all! I'm very pleased with the outcome and I'm excited to serve it tomorrow.

Aside from that, I'll be helping with the prep for everything that hasn't already been done tonight. By the way, if anyone wants the recipe I always use for cheesecake, here ya go: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8350/chantals-new-york-cheesecake/

I found it online a few years ago and I never found a need to bother with other recipes for cheesecake.

>>13283030
there aren't any commands on the holiday celebrations and christian god isn't supposedly some poseidon-like bastard

>>13283042
>no holidays in the Christian Bible
>but there are Christian holidays
I'm not following your logic here.

Comfy Thanksgiving Eve kino: A taste of history

>>13283065
christians may come up with holidays to celebrate christ, thus christian holidays, even though there isn't any step by step manual for them in the bible. that's all

>>13283041
>not having four different kinds of pies and 2 cakes ready
Anon?

>>13283073
Man knows how to celebrate God better than God?

>>13283085
god apparently left it up to man

>>13283093
Where did you get that impression?

>>13283075
I'm not in charge of the feast, man. I'm just a contributor. If I were in charge, I'd have prepared far more, believe me.

>>13283101
>not forcing your loved ones to eat your food at gunpoint

>>13282778
I think Adam regusea made a video on frozen turkey check it out

>>13283097
no 11th commandment about celebrations, jesus didn't do any holiday breefing either

>>13283111
There are several ways to celebrate God listed in The Bible, none of them are holidays because you celebrate God everyday. Holiday as a word was created to merge pagan worship with Christian belief, most of that belief being misguided for convenience.

>>13283035
>Why don't you just make it and bring anyways?
I guess I could. But then what do I do with the rest of it if I don't have a family?

I guess I can eat the rest myself.

Honestly though, I think I went too big. I was going to do this whole pig in a pumpkin thing that Chef John posted that one time. I made it a couple times before on my own some years back thinking I'd get the opportunity to serve it in a more dignified manner someday than just me cutting and eating it myself inside my lonely, shitty subsidized apartment without even space on my table for it and then refrigerating it for a few days of eating practically only this one meal while it starts to lose its shape.
In fact, I lied I don't have "some good ideas". I have precisely 1 idea.

I could look up other ideas I guess. Store is open until midnight and doesn't seem to be getting that busy yet...

> Also are you a spice who brings nachos for Thanksgiving?
She was literally suggesting I bring over a bag of chips and salsa.
We usually have a fair variety of food at the table, even if I know pretty much exactly what she is going to make available to us....

Not that my mother is a bad cook, but still.

>>13283124
She also said I could make hors d'oeuvres, but the only hors d'oeuvres I can think off of the top of my head are either childishly simple and interesting in every way (like cheese with bread on it type shit), or its deviled eggs.

My sister said I could do shrimp cocktail, but I fucking hate shrimp cocktail.

>>13283122
okay whatever, we are just back at the beggining now

>>13283141
And yes, knowing how my mother is, when she says it will be a lot of food she means it will be a lot of food. A lot of food *for Thanksgiving*.

She means what she says and that means much of it will probably go untouched.

Hi there Mr. Jehovah's Witness, had enough of getting doors slammed in your face in person and decided to take it online, eh

>>13283122
The Jehovah's Witness "denomination of Christianity" is basically a cult.
So, no. I'm not going to stop celebrating holidays.
*slams door*

>>13283172
>>13283182
I'm not even Christian lads, are they that bad where you live?

>>13283184
Jehovah's Witnesses are the only group I can think of that are diametrically opposed to the concept of holidays, they don't even celebrate their own birthdays

>>13283188
All i'm saying is after reading through that bible not once did I see shit about holidays. Unlike several other major religions, which do all have holidays. Just seems odd to me is all.

>>13283188
It's a little known fact but they actually do celebrate it, by sucking cock

>>13283184
I'm samefag as >>13283182
I guess I don't really know how bad they are in terms of numbers and all that. I'm not a homeowner and I don't actually see a lot of them around where I live.

But almost all my extended family on my father's side are Jehovah's Witnesses. Ironically, they are the most sane side of my family, yet I never get to see them because they are completely against holidays, thinking that you shouldn't worship things or something.

They don't do birthdays, they don't do Christmas, they even say you shouldn't "worship" God, that God just is or some shit like that.

There are other problems too, but yeah what you said earlier sounded very Jehovah's Witness-y

>>13283211
But the first commandment is literally worship me you little shits

>>13283211
I have a friend who's a Jehovah's Witness and the way I heard it described is that they extrapolated the concept of idolatry so far that they see celebrating a holiday as misdirected worship going toward something other than God

There's also the whole bit about how if someone is deemed a "bad influence" or leaves the religion you have to cut them out of your life completely, but we're totally not a cult guys I swear

>>13283216
And third one is don't forget to worship my day too tho

>>13283211
I know about em well enough. They are good people, very kind etc. Lot like Mormons that way. They got their quirks though for sure but I can understand why I would come off like that. From what I understand they do it all literally and when I read The Bible so did I. It says nothing about holidays so why celebrate them if you are Christian? That much makes sense to me.
It was a beautiful book but it has nothing on the Bhagavad Gita.
>>13283216
Yeah, you do that every day. Not on certain days.
>>13283218
Christianity is kind of a cult if you look at it literally. Their God drown everyone of earth for being born wrong at one point.

>>13283124
I'd make crescent dogs hotdogs wrapped in crescent rolls with cheese stuffed in em. Tell ya mom to go to hell you do what you want

My sexy brother is coming this year and I'm gonna finally get my snatch blasted

>>13283238

>>13283222
Yes, that's why virtually every single mainstream denomination of Christianity doesn't take every single word literally, the practices, traditions, and institutions have changed dramatically over millennia, with the religion generally being more malleable than most others to changing societal norms

Mainstream Christian teachings essentially tell you to live your life as a good person by following the most basic tenets and maintaining belief, but don't stress the details or demand strict enforcement of minor rules, which is likely a large factor in why the religion spread all over the world so easily and found itself compatible with cultures on the opposite side of the planet from where it first originated and took root

Taking the Bible completely literally is reserved for fringe, often cult-like denominations, and Judaism in the case of the Old Testament

>>13283242
The Bible literally says to take it literally unless explicitly stated otherwise. You'd be following a Biblical and or Christ cult if you did otherwise

>>13283222
>>13283221
!!!

>>13283254
>Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Can you expound on that?

>>13280594
Chicken and dumplings sounds super comfy. Do it. Get a vegetable side, too. Sauteed kale with dried cranberries and pepitas would be seasonal and tasty. I’d be making that if I didn’t think of it just this second.

>>13283251
I frankly don't care what books you read or what you think about them. What's in a book or in your head isn't a license to mistreat people who are different from you.

>>13283257
yep, you shouldn't say god's sake, sweet jesus etc

>>13283027
>>13283124
Just make a side instead of another main dish. Also, maybe you could have your parents for dinner sometime to serve the pig in a pumpkin thing.

>>13283267
Yes, and?

>>13283271
huh?

>>13283242
>[...] changed dramatically over millennia, with the religion generally being more malleable than most others to changing societal norms
Oh, so that's what Christians' might say when presented the idea that the first of Christ's followers were basically Jewish...

I was wondering about that.

>>13283261
Thankfully I don't need no license to mistreat people.

>>13283276
What does that have to do with the conversation?
>>13283277
Christ was Jewish until he realized he was the son of God. Or so it is said.

>>13283278
It really isn't that hard to treat everyone with basic respect and dignity in social settings.

>>13283283
It really isn't that hard to mistreat everyone with no basic respect or dignity in social settings.

>>13280020
>ride the pony
Pounded and rolled the turkey breast with herb garlic butter and trussed together with skin. Vacuum pickled some vegetables and prepped some crudites. Prepped the deviled eggs and garnish. Made some turkey leg and herbed cheese tortellini. Roasted garlic in clarified butter for the mashed potatoes. Have the semi-traditional turkey cream gravy, a turkey reduction glace, and a turkey cranberry galze in the works. Sis is handling the sweet potatoes, fruit salad, and dressing. Friend is bringing salad and some dip for the crudites. Trying to decide if I want to make an asparagus dish, or use it for the tortellini appetizer. Leaning towards the appetizer.

>>13283303
There is nothing about decoration.

>>13283310
hmm ive never roasted garlic in anything but olive oil for mash.

>turkey cream gravy

never added cream 2 my gravy

i use a beef stock reduction

>>13283311
also nothing against it

>>13283327
It speaks against false idols.

>>13283315
Yeah, I typically just use some milk and roux with a stock base. I reduced the stock by half on the way to making the reduction glace, so I took some of that to thicken with roux. I will finish it with cream before serving. Basically just a much richer version of gravy.

>>13283336
roux seems like a flavor I don't want for gravy, I typically would use just a little bit of cornstarch near the end but I bought this fancy modified tapioca starch so I think I will use that

I think beef stock just ends up tasting way better than anything the turkey has to give

>>13283332
decorating house on dedicated holy day isn't false idol for sure, otherwise back to caves
false idol would be decorating for allah

>>13283345
For sure based on what?

>>13283222
>They are good people, very kind etc. Lot like Mormons that way. They got their quirks though for sure but I can understand why I would come off like that.
Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses are pretty similar. In fact, I'm going to be speaking of both of them in this post because they are such similar things.

Of course they're good people. They kill with kindness and treat others well, but what you are seeing is on the surface of these belief systems.
Underneath that, they have significant inner-turmoil and problems.

Any religion that doesn't let you leave it without being completely ostracized from your religion is a cult.
>you do that every day. Not on certain days.
True, but that doesn't mean holidays can't be a thing.
>Christianity is kind of a cult [...] Their God drown everyone of earth for being born wrong at one point.
Most of Christianity does not meet the criteria people would commonly set for a "cult". They don't really make you dependent on them. You are basically free to stop believing because if you don't believe, then you don't believe you will go to Hell for not believing. You can keep your friends from the Church if you convert out. You also don't venerate some fake-ass demi-god apostle guy nor do they usually buy property
>Oh but such and such example ...
I'm not Christian and don't really like Christianity, but they're seriously not a cult for the most part. I'm sure you could find examples otherwise, but calling contemporary Christianity a cult does not give justice to the very real subcategory of cults or at least, one definition of the word cult. Kind of an inconvenient word since cult can also refer to something entirely different, but yeah. Christianity, at least not all Christianity is Jonestown style shit.

>>13283261
Not the point I was making

>>13283344
The family has always preferred the milky brown gravy. I tend to like the straight brown gravies more, which is why I'm doing the glace. No added thickeners needed. Turkey stock can be awesome, but it needs a little tweak from most poultry stocks. I used a little rosemary and mustard seed with additional standard aromatics while reducing.

>>13283376
People always go on and on about how religion makes them happy and teaches them to treat others well but when push comes to shove it gets used as a lazy excuse to justify being hostile to people on the basis of membership in groups their holy books are supposedly against, rather than judging them on their individual behavior.

"Oh I don't hate your entire group, my book does and I have to follow what it says".

Lazy excuse for spineless cowards.

>>13283356
I'm aware of the turmoil. I have lived with both Mormons and JW's to better understand them.
>go to hell
This common misconception is what allows a laissez-faire approach to saving the soul. Instead of enforcing it yourself you can put it off on God, despite the fact there is no Hell in the bible. The Lake of Fire is clearly oblivion as it is described as such.
>jonestown
Considering the option is believe or burn i'm not convinced. Most Christians just aren't strong enough to follow through. If I was a christian I would be running up and down the street screaming and begging people to believe so that their soul could be saved. Like I said, most take a lazy approach to what is said to be the biggest deal in existence.

>>13283349
based on catechism of the catholic church, you can make statues and whatever to worship but only of that one god

>>13283388
Well, you seem to know what you are doing but I make reduced beef stock gravy now and nobody complains. I like the idea of mustard seed.

>>13283398
Their obsession with Mary makes this far to complicated to debate. I'm not convinced anything about Catholicism matches up if you took every Pope at face value.

>>13283402
god just didn't want to spoil it in the commandments there will be some mary
but I am totally fine with not celebrating her

>>13283393
>Jehovah's Witnesses interpret the "lake of fire" and "second death" of the Book of Revelation as referring to a complete and definitive annihilation of those cast into it.
I feel like you're doing this on purpose...
Show passage?

>>13283401
I've played around with it for a few years. Turkey is a strong enough flavor that it needs some heavier flavors to compliment it. I tried juniper berries, which tend to be too strong or just adding a strange subtle note. They work better with duck or deer. I tried going heavier on the standard aromatics, but it just made it taste like reduced turkey soup instead of gravy. Not bad, just not what most people want to smother their mashed potatoes with. It turns out to make a really nice consomme, though. I tried some other flavors, like chili peppers, tarragon, citrus zest, mushrooms (this one works too, but the mushrooms in the store looked like shit this year), but even if they turned out good, they usually were just too different from a standard gravy.

>>13283224
>>13283152
Thanks. I'll think on these.

>>13283462
I didn't say JW's did, it is pretty clear the lake of fire isn't torture. Otherwise it would specify this. Your options are eternal life or eternal death, not torture. There is no "hell" in the christian bible.

>>13283489
I am genuinely confused by this to the point that I'm not even 100% sure I understand what you're trying to say.
>And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever
>"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
The only thing here that could seem to imply oblivion is "second death" which seems a bit floral and vague, but they seem to be pretty clear that there is a place of suffering where some are tortured eternally and that this is a lake of fire and brimstone.

Like... dude its pretty fucking clear what they mean.

How do you not understand how that would be just as embarrassing as talking? Probably more so? I was literally saying the point is I don't want to be embarrassed or I would just stay in my room. Your resolution is the opposite of what I want.

You clearly don't want to politely engage in minimal smalltalk so just being silent is the second best option.

They probably will barely speak to you if you are quiet the whole time anyways.

>>13283666
Hopefully it’s not as dry as it looks in the pic. Because it’s only going to dry out as it cooks.

>>13283669
If I could I would?
>Stop embarrassing your mother
She's the cunt that invited STRANGERS over, not me. It's her fault.
>>13283673
Are you esl or just being disingenuous for fun?

>>13280020
FROZEN TURKEY UPDATE
the hot water I poured on it made it smell funny so I freaked out and poured ice on it. Hopefully the ice doesn't fuck up my tub and the turkey is ok

>>13283692
How do strangers become not-strangers?

>>13283705
Sweet baby Jesus

>>13283555
That translation misinterprets the words. The Beast cannot be tormented because it is not a single entity but a representation of kingdoms. 7 heads for 7 kingdoms, 10 horns for 10 armies and 10 crowns for 10 kings.
>second death
That would be a reference to after the rapture since dying does not mean you go straight to Heaven as the judgement has not occurred for Christians.

It is NOT clear which is why you are confused, Revelations is VERY confusing, and so it is no wonder people have trouble with it.

>>13283705
You aren't planing to fry it, are you?

>>13283705
I'm dying.

>>13283688
hmm i added a little bit of heavy cream to try and fix the top but it’s but cooking for over 40 mins and i’m confused about the center knife check, isn’t bread pudding suppose to stick to stuff anyway? just the top is a little rough in terms of dryness seems like

>>13283692
Go watch movies of people acting normal and then put on an act on Thanksgiving. Imitate George Clooney or whoever. The world will not bend to autismos like you, you need to bend to the world of normies.

Has anyone tried cooking turkey in the microwave?

>>13283798
I like a crisp top and sides. So long as the inside is moist, you're good. If it's cake consistency inside, it's too dry.

>>13283705
Why didn't you just google "how to thaw a turkey fast"?
The first result tells you how not to be retarded.

Thanks for the laugh though. Dry that sumbitch out real good before cooking and pray you don't get sick from your bath scum.

Going to eat ridiculously early this year. I gots

Sweet tea brined turky that's been smoking
Salted honey custard pie, pecan pie
Dressing (what us southern anons call stuffing)
Green beans
Cornbread
Eggnog & beer
Probably some other shit I need to remember, should be quite nice it's my first time hosting any holiday meal

>>13280020
i did alton brown thanksgiving brine, sucks that i didn't had kosher salt but just iodine salt. I'm sure it will be good. First time doing my own brine or at least following. Any good mash potato tips?

>>13282778
buy another non-frozen one, save your current frozen one for later

>>13283705

>>13280058
I hope you at least had the company of a friend

>>13283822
>you need to bend to the world of normies
Get fr*cked. I'll bend the normies over and give them my world.

Saw the sticky so I just came by to say Fuck jannies.

>>13284207
Based and redpilled

I'm cooking for a group and trying to figure out what to do about the gravy. The way I grew up (CA, parent with Louisiana culinary background), we'd have gravy made from homemade turkey stock + a dark roux + pan drippings, no giblets in. I did not even know of the existence of giblets in gravy until recently.

I've made stock and a roux and diced up the giblets but I've no fucking idea if, given a sample of the 20 or so people coming to this party, the majority of the gravy-eaters are used to giblets in gravy or not.

So I ask you, /ck/ who celebrates Thanksgiving, where are you from and would you say it is normal to include the actual giblets in gravy or not?

>only get a sticky the day before the only holiday in the world that isn't pozzed faggot shit

suck my dick mods.

Today is /ck/'s big day!

NIGGER

>>13284265
just don't tell them. that's my trick when a filthy vegetarian demands i cater to their special faggot needs.

>>13284356
Your disdain for vegetarians is noted but I actually meant meat gravy with diced meat in it vs meat gravy without diced meat in it

I am so alone

Wow, for once the mods were BASED and stickied my gay thanksgiving thread. This year, ALL families can enjoy dinner together!

>>13284389
go find a homeless shelter and pick out a homeless guy to cook for thanksgiving. just make sure to wash him real well otherwise he will taste like sour milk

>always the one that cooks for the extended family during thenksgiving

>>13284427
>ham gravy from last year's christmas ham drippings
do you guys really keep drippings that long? damn that's some dedication

>>13280020
Going to an all you can eat Thanksgiving buffet. Wish me luck, guys.

Everyone did get their major prep work done yesterday, right?

My menu for the day....

Herb roasted turkey
Seared brussel sprouts with bacon and gruyere
Mashed potatoes
Glazed carrots with slivered almonds
2 layer pumpkin cheesecake pie

>>13280807
Nice

>>13284543

Recipes for this year. That should be legible.

So I forgot to get a meat thermometer and im cooking Turkey legs and thighs in a bag. How fucked am I? Should I brave Walmart?

>>13282748
>>13282778
You can do an Express defrost in the sink, but you need to monitor temp and change water often. Your best bet is to bite ther bullet and go out and buy a thawed one.

>>13280020
Can a mod please autoplay this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rt2GVuuilc

>>13284467
Tradition is tradition. Even I admit that ham gravy is delicious, and I needed a way to make ham gravy without making an entire ham.

>>13282748
>didnt know it has to be thawed
I hardly cook, I just showed up for the thanksgiving threads and I know this, holy shit. didnt you grow up with parents that cook?

>>13284408
Lmao

So...you guys just talk about cooking here?
How does that work on a day-to-day basis

>>13284643
do you not cook food every day?

>>13284643
Used to talk about food and cooking here. It went well until the last couple years, when people began to flock here from plebbit to shit the board up with pseudo-political conspiracy theories.

>>13284652
Yes...I'm obviously asking if it's just the same threads over-and-over again. Sorry, guess you've been around here for a while and have forgotten what context clues are. I'm not a salami

First time ever making an apple pie from scratch. I'll find out today if it tastes as good as it looks.

>>13284662
Of course, like any other hobby board you have many repeat threads day in and day out. Like the other boards though, these are either topics relevant to current popular trends or common /ck/-tier bait designed to stir the most amount of shit up as possible relative to cooking (beans in chili, vegan/anti-vegan, etc)

american bros, i have a pie question. i've only made an apple pie once years ago. everyone told me it was really good but it was over before i could taste it myself. the lattice was hideous though

someone gave me a big bag of walnuts and i want to make pecan pie with it. want to try my hand at making a lattice again but all the recipes i could find had the pie be open topped. is there a particular reason for this? will the filling not solidify if it's not under direct heat or something?
>>13284673
well done

>>13284685
>Someone gave me walnuts
>I'll make a pecan pie

>>13284687
pecans are too asspensive here

Anyone else /upearly/? Remember to let you bird rest for at least an hour before carving, and even longer if you can

>>13283705
DO AMERICANS REALLY!??

>>13284691
No offense mate but walnut pie sounds disgusting. Maybe I'd try it tho

>>13284673
das a nice crust my man

>>13284695
no, walnuts are good when they're slightly toasted before, i'm telling you.
guess we'll find out tonight for sure though, but in the mean time do you know if i'm fine putting a lattice on or no?

>>13282778
>>13283705
Lmao I love this board

>>13284685
buy a pumpkin instead

>>13284701
'ate pumpkin

>>13284698
I'm sure that would be fine. Pro tip: Sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top for a nice finish.

>>13284643
today theirs going to be more talk about actual cooking. It's usually
>ramen threads
>bitching about americans
>fast food
>bitching about brits
>powerade chicken
>soy face thread about hot sauce

>>13284710
t. big pumpkin shill

>>13284692
Yes, going to get the brine going. I'm just cooking legs and thighs but I'm going to brave Walmart cause my dumb ass forgot a thermometer.

>>13284704
can't forget the jack threads

>>13280020
CUNNY.

>>13284543
be honest, would you fuck your turkey if you knew you could magically remove all DNA evidence

>>13284782
the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking retard. this is a family holiday, not some degenerate coomer shit. in the white ethnostate people like you will be gassed.

>>13284794
woah relax bro it's just a question

>>13280020
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, /ck/!

>>13282778
Best way to cook a frozen turkey is deep frying it.

>>13284714
Same actually

>neighbor working in his garage
>waves to me and shouts Happy Turkey Day!
>feels_good_man.jpg

>>13284685
I dunno exactly I've only done it a few times but I think you want the top to caramelize a bit.

>>13284799
Happy Thanksgiving, anon. And God bless America

>>13284799
__ _________ ______?

>>13284543
beautiful. simple. classic. tasty. love it.

>>13284799
those pilgrims sure had some crazy recipes! no wonder americans are so fat

so I already fucked up /ck/

Making prime rib tonight, reverse sear.

Slept through my 3 am alarm to pull it out of the fridge, now it's 6 AM and I just did.

I'm planning on cooking it low @ 150 all day. Should I wait for it to get to room temp and potentially be late for dinner?

or since I'm doing it at such a low temp would I get away with it?

Cheesecake pumpkin pie in the works.

>>13284826
as in put it in now at 32 degrees internal,

>>13284827

Goodness she full.

>>13284831
it's beef. put it in the oven. however it comes out is how you are going to eat it.

>>13284543
Between Monday, Tuesday and yesterday, yes.
Steamed and mashed the rutabaga and potato Monday. Also steamed the cabbage leaves.
Made the bread stuffing and the turkey stock Tuesday.
Cooked bacon with collards yesterday.
Today, I'll be seasoning the brined turkey tit, stuffing the cabbage leaves with the stuffing, making gravy from the stock, cooking the cranberry sauce and braising the carrots.

Clear menu: onion-and-herbs turkey tit and gravy, bread stuffed cabbage rolls, collards, rutabaga mashed potatoes, butter-braised carrots and cranberry sauce, all had with a few bottles of scrumpy. No dessert cuz fuck dessert. Eating by 2.15.

fuck driving across new england to spend time with hillary cultists who hate me. gonna get chinese with a friend and smoke a bowl.

travel safe ckuks.

>>13284695
To be fair, pecan pie is really caramelized sugar pie with some nuts thrown in, mostly out of embarrassment.

>>13283565
How you making it anon?

>>13283565
Go downstairs and do your best during the meal. If you get overwhelmed just say you're tired or overly full or whatever and go up to your room and nap. If you have it in you, it would be good to say bye to all your relatives, and tell the strangers "nice to meet you, safe travels" before you go. As long as you make a bit of an appearance it should be okay. Also put something on in another room while your mom is welcoming guests so there's a room where conversations are unnecessary. I recommend football if the timing is right, because normies like that. Introduce yourself to the strangers so you can safely go back to ignoring one another. A simple
>Hi, I'm Anon1, happy Thanksgiving
<Hi, Anon1, I'm Anon2, nice to meet you
>Nice to meet you too, glad you could make it
should suffice. It'll be much less awkward and there will be much less pressure once you've done this.
Some small talk ideas if you need to
>weather
>traffic on the way over
>which foods they like best
>if they have pets let them talk about that
>if they like sports let them talk about that
Good luck, anon. I know it's hard having strangers in your home, but you can do this.

>>13284805
>>13284870
well now i'm not sure i even want to make it
is it really worth it? i've got other walnut recipes i could do

>>13280020
Am alone this thanksgiving for the first time in years. Not a good feel

>>13284906
Sorry to hear that anon. You have frens here

>>13283041
That looks wonderful anon, it pulled from the pan perfectly. Just do be careful to lower the oven temp towards the end or if you can't because it's as low as your oven goes, cover it in foil for the last 10-15 minutes, that way you avoid those light brown splotches and get a wonderful presentation to that great looking cheesecake.

>>13284832

She's beautiful.

he'll yeah, gonna have me a nice plate of nothing this thanksgiving with a side of 1.75l of gin so I can be thankful that my liver is dying

>>13284959
she's a big girl

>thanksgiving
>a lot of thanks, but not a lot of giving
makes you think

>>13282748
No problem, just chuck that frozen bitch right in the hot ass peanut oil of your propane fryer.

>>13284975

Retard

>>13284959
i needs it bruhs

>>13284403
Yeah ah, no.

>>13285052
Um if you look in the pic I posted in the original post, clearly it is 2 gay dads and their delightful adopted kids enjoying Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving isn't *just* about traditional hetshit families anymore.

>>13284673
That looks damn good, especially for a first time anon.

>>13284385
u dont put the giblets pieces in the gravy. you just use it and neck to make a stock

>>13284799
That webm gave me ptsd.

Flaming hot cheeto turkeys done

Imagine still eating turkey in 2019

I'm actually following BA's Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey recipe:
https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/expertly-spiced-and-glazed-roast-turkey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brAJ7pEudFU
Just got done with the second coat of the brown sugar/soy sauce-based glaze. Breast currently is temping at 134°F & Thighs at 150°F, going to recheck it in 15 minutes.

Gonna keep drying this out and cook it around 6 with mashed potato celery stuffing and roasted root veg

>>13285107
Shill.

>>13284685
>>13284696
>>13285061


Thanks!

I also made what is essentially a sheet pan pumpkin pie with cream cheese. Instead of pumpkin spice, it has chinese five spice and the crust has some Amaretto in it. I tried a little bit and it tastes amazing. Wish the top hadn't cracked though.

>>13285162

And also made some little pie crust leaves to go on top for the pieces in the middle that don't have the edge crust.

too early to drink? 11am here

Damn anon, not bad!

What restaurant that serves thanksgiving food would you say is the best? Is Crack Barrel thanksgiving food any good? I have no friends and my family lives on the other side of the country but I still want thanksgiving food

>>13284906
Come to my house, I'll pm you my address. Bring dessert

>>13280067
All that shit is good though?

>>13285247
From where I'm from it's pretty decent but obviously depends on location.

>>13284827

>>13284832

>>13284959

Did you scrape and boil the pumpkin yourself?

>>13280020

For me? It's gotta be the strawberry/rhubarb pie.

>>13283041
Looks amazing.

>>13285381

Is there a polite way to eat the turkey neck

>>13280020
The big day for which we've all been waiting is here lads. Gonna pull my turkey out of the buttermilk brine in a few short minutes and begin the drying process.

>>13284799
You don't deserve those dubs for posting that.

>>13285107
Update, pulled it at Breast 165°F & Thigh @ 178°F at their coldest pockets. Probably only needed 10 minutes not 15 so I hope it isn't too much over in the end.

The one day I cook every year and I fucking cut my finger peeling the potatoes.

do americans say 'Thanks!' aloud together before the dinner while holding hands around the table?

My family doesn't Thanksgiving anymore, but I did a "Friendsgiving" potluck earlier this week. I made roast chicken and vegetables, corn pudding, and cornbread stuffing with some sage sausage. Pretty good. I even got a couple people asking for my recipes.

>>13285609
We say "rub-a-dub-dub thanks for the grub! Yay god!"

>>13285621
now that's EPIC! :D:D:D

Europeans should have their own thanksgiving in europe that all those fuckups sailed for america and we can have our rich utopia while they keep degenerating

My wife and I got sick all of a sudden so we can't go to my family's Thanksgiving. We're stuck at home and I made enough dough for five loaves of bread and a shit ton of rolls. I'm still going to make all the bread, guess that's what we're eating for a while. Might go get some stovetop stuffing as a joke.

>>13285107
I'm doing this but with a whole turkey because making a carved turkey is degenerate

should i go to a Thanksgiving dinner with my brother's girlfriend's family anon i dont know any of her family

>mom got stomach flu last night
>it is now on me to do thanksgiving

her turkey is usually dry and inedible, how do i make it not that

>>13285674
absolutely. Anything is better than spending thanksgiving alone.

>>13285691
Flavor injector and slow cook that bitch.

>>13285659
You don't have to lie to us. Enjoy drinking and fucking your wife today

>>13285532
You fucked up

>>13284193
No one should have to eat Thanksgiving dinner alone. Your mother probably invited these people over because they have no family and no where else to go. You should be thankful for having such a kind hearted mother. Maybe learn something from her before it's too late.

>>13285700
should specify that our family isnt big enough for a full turkey so we just have legs

Is there any way to get the top of the turkey browned in an electric roaster?

>>13285721
crank up the heat for a short time

>Granddad and Uncle both passed away a little over 2 months ago
Gonna be an awkward Thanksgiving and Christmas bros.

>>13285609
>>13285621
yes and then we all clap

>>13285719
Same thing. Slow and low to properly cook legs.

>Dad has been 1st or 2nd in the state for the last 5 years in non-pro BBQ contests
>He's smoking turkey and brisket for today
Fuck yeah bros

>>13285735
Tried it, the bottom was nearly burnt by the time the top just began to brown.

>>13285710

Boudin balls and potato wedges from a gas station

>>13285764

Turkey's been in the oven for a little over an hour, hoping to eat around 6. I've got roasted mushrooms, carrots, and fennel, roasted potatoes with sour cream and chives, roasted brussel sprouts, jellied and whole berry canned cranberry, an extra tray of stuffing, and pic related, orange and sweet potato casserole. I opted to get rid of the marshmallows this time around.

For me it's the Yukon Golds!

Happy Thanksgiving assholes

>Mother says she'll make the deviled eggs

>Boils eggs hard for an indeterminate amount of time
>Turns the heat off and leaves them in lukewarm water on the stove overnight
>Finally takes them out in the morning
>"I changed my mind about making deviled eggs, they're too hard to peel"

That's what I get for letting someone else do it

>>13285761
I said a short time. Put it in the oven on broil, or actually look up how to do a turkey in a roaster before you start next time. Max temp for 30-45 min then crank down and cook slow.

Smoking a Turkey for the first time. I'm really excited to try it.

>>13285080
Please kill yourself

>>13285813
I only had it on max for 25 minutes before it started to burn.

Remember to pace yourselves lads. What's everyone drinking?

*african thumbs up emoji*

>>13285840
Not drinking until I'm alone tonight because I don't want my family to think I'm an alcoholic.

>>13285840
Finnish long drink 6%

>>13284979
+1 this method worked great for me and my family. My little boys enjoyed the extra crispy skin.

Thanksgiving coq au vin, before stock and wine.

Would thyme, rosemary, parsley leaves, salt and pepper be fine to season up a turkey with?
My parents don't usually season theirs up much but I kind of want to try it different since I bought the turkey this year.

>>13285925
Parsley is sort of your odd man out. The rest would be good.

>>13285925
I personally find rosemary overpowering and parsley almost undetectable, but choose whatever flavors you like best. I season mine with salt, pepper, ground thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, tarragon, and paprika, the latter is mostly for color.

>>13285925
>>13285927
>>13285936
Unironically.

>>13285947
Sage is quite lovely, I've just never used it with turkey before and didn't feel like experimenting.

>>13280020
Didn't have the fridge space this year to do a decent size Turkey so I just bought 3 Turkey legs and 2 Turkey thighs. Cost me $10 more than buying a small Turkey, but I prefer dark meat anyways. Using a favorite all in one brine & rub I bought on discount from last year. Also going to be experimenting by adding some smoked tea to the brine. Since its only 4 pounds worth I halved the brine and have some for later.

It's so humiliating for any decent visitor of /ck/ to have that offensive pic pinned to the top the page.

>>13285917
Where's the turkey you retarded faggot?

>>13285966

>>13285609
Yup, and then we all clap.

>>13285964
Added more bay leaves to the brine cause fuck it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

>>13285986
And here it is being chilled after boiling and set aside to cool for 20 minutes

>>13285990
Here's the brine with more water being put into the fridge to cool.

>>13285993
Here's the meat in the brine. Going to let it soak for 4 hours.

For your sake I hope this is bait or you are going to get sick. I told you, either do the sink method or go out to Walmart and buy a already thawed one. Dumping it in hot water is just going to promote bacteria.
>>13286016
Just put the Turkey in upside down then turn it over for the last hour.

It's actually pretty damn good! And light enough to get crunk while waiting on my ribs to finish and making mashed potatoes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all !

Is this where I post my feast?

Mushroom/oat/walnut loaf with carrots and peppers with garlic mashed potatoes and cornbread.

>>13280020
I only had a turkey sandwich and a slice of toast :(

>>13285460
Here's my birb all gussied up for the big show. Finna bouta put it in the oven in 20 min. Finishing touches will be butter and fresh herbs and thinly sliced garlic under the skin right before it goes in. Stuffed with celery, carrots, fennel, an onion, cloves of garlic, and a pear from my in laws tree. Rubbed with coarse salt, fresh ground pepper, herbs de provence, and paprika.

The fuq is wrong with your family?Drinking with friends and family=healthy drinking.
>>13286055
Good advice on the upside down. That's been my plan all along ;)

>>13286065
You're supposed to cut slits in the top so it doesn't burst.

>>13285977
mom's making it

>>13285840

>>13280071
Adding more sugar to yams? Fucking fat ass

>>13286008
Aside from this being such a crystal clear .webm, I can't help but wonder what the woman in the back ground is eating out of her bag. She appears to have something on her table, and then rips something off out of a small bag and then stuff it back into her back pack. She's already chewing while doing this. It's really bothering me.

>>13286120
No meat? What a shitty day.

>>13284799
>Cheddar (2lbs)

>>13285823
How long will this take to cook??

Also, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

>>13286139
It looks like she has a thing of tortilla chips on the table and is dipping them into sauce but the rest I have no idea

>>13283705
God bless you

>>13285381
What is this

>>13283565
actually this >>13284886
Putting on football before you eat is good idea, just sit there on couch, be on your phone, watch that tv etc.
Introduce yourself when guests come immediately!! Crawling out of your room any later will be much worse and you'd have to introduce yourself to everyone together, which I am sure you would fuck up and make it awkward. So when anyone come it's just Hi I am anon, handshake and done, no one will wonder anymore who are you and why you are there.
So be there from the very beginning and don't leave the table in middle of the dinner with some shitty false excuse like you are full or what, you would fuck up again and make it weird.
During the dinner you don't need to start conversation at all, people will talk and talk even without you. Just answer when someone asks. From strangers there will be just questions like what school you attend or where do you work and what was the travel like etc, even total autist can respond nicely to that.
And dress nice for god's sake, otherwise people will stare and you will feel like shit.

Got a turkey baking right now. I cut out the backbone and soaked it in a brine over night.

I took it out of the brine last night, put it on a rack and kept it in the fridge for a couple hours to let off some water.

Salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, a bit of smoked paprika, garlic, olive oil and a shit ton of butter stuffed under the skin.

Really hoping I don't fuck this thing up lol.

Turkey Curry
Turry

>Taking the Bible completely literally is reserved for (...) Judaism in the case of the Old Testament
lmao, the jews have and still do autistically argue the meaning of it for generations

Thanksgiving dinner for one is served

>>13286120
you have nutraloaf for thanksgiving?

>>13286202

>>13286094
would eat. gravy looks good. brussels look good. stuffing looks a bit clumpy for me.

>>13286202
isn't it about 2 pm even on the east coast?

>>13286208
What are you drinking, rosé?

>>13284714
>brine
I hope you don't want gravy. You can't make a good gravy from a brined turkey.

>>13285330
Not them but I usually roast my pumpkins every year for pie filling. It is an improvement on taste, but really marginal and arguably not worth the amount of effort compared to just using canned pumpkin puree. I like doing it so I persist.

>>13286205
Yes I like eating early. And I will be eating for a while

>>13286231
Red wine is too strong for turkey and I thought I’d try it out. Rose pairs well with everything.

>>13286205
Yeah, no gravy though on mine.

>>13286147
I had sausages and turkey yesterday.

>>13286264
Nice, never tried it myself. I'll have to remember that.

How do Vegans survive on Thanksgiving looking all this quality food?

>>13286285
They don't see it as food, they see it as something repulsive, like poison.

t. ex vegfag, the thought of eating meat used to disgust me. Now I devour it down like crazy.

>>13286285

I too use irish spring, but instead of turkey I use it on my sausage

>>13286290

>non-gmo certified
I try not to buy anything with this propaganda on it

>>13284975
You give thanks

All these retards living alone and cooking for themselves

>always put the probe in the wrong spot
Fuck

>>13286320
You can put the probe in my spot if you catch my cold

>>13286290
HAhahahahahaha based

On my 4th plate of food, I've shit already and am feeling better after feeling sick before, I unbuttoned my pants to to releive pressure.

>>13285999
Thank you
>>13286245
I'm not, but why couldn't I make gravy?
>>13286306
I honestly don't care about that. Its brine, bag, and rub for less than $5.

>>13286290
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
>>13286123
Fuck meant to tag you not my post. Thanks for the compliment.

>>13286368
>I honestly don't care about that
I know you don't, because you bought it.

>>13286381
>>13286123
Birb looks good btw.

I'm serving raw oysters (they're fresh from the local bay). Can you keep a few out for shucking or should they be kept in the fridge if they're not being immediately eaten?

>>13280020
What time do you Yanks eat Thanksgiving usually? In Canada's its a dinner time thing.

>>13286396
