/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm always alone for the holidays. It'll be okay, stranger. Just don't wallow in your self pity, make something you like, and call some family. You'll get through it.

I’ll be gathering with 50 of my fellow magapedes for a maskless pro America extravaganza

>thanksgiving

>call some family.
I'm afraid I burned those bridges.....

Baked turkey leg and/or breast depending on what looks good and I can find, mashed potatoes, corn bread stuffing, yams (not too sweet), brussels sprouts with bacon and garlic, cranberry sauce, buttery biscuits, and gravy. Maybe do some Lil' Smokies simmered in BBQ sauce with crackers and cheese and gherkins while I lazily whip everything together.

COVID is no different for me, sadly, my parents have been dead for years and I come from a really small family so... par for the course. I make myself something nice, read in front of the fire, and end the night by watching A Christmas Story (as Thanksgiving was traditionally the first day it played on TBS when I was young).

Anyways I was thinking of making a nice rib roast with some macaroni & cheese. I want to try eggnog too, how does it taste?

I'm 40 and was an MST3k fan since before I could drive. I'll bake a ham and two sides and have a "turkey day" marathon like I did as a kid.

>>15067520
Holidays are just a scam, todays sunrise and sunset is no different than yesterdays

>>15067537
What is this even supposed to mean, even if the picture is taken out of context?

>>15067581
>tiny yank brain can't comprehend very simple concept

>>15067593
Yeah, I read "yanks", but the context is borderline-African. Does it have to do with football clubs or something?

>>15067520
I'm living in a hotel. Moved to the other side of the country for work, they're putting me up here until I find a place to live, which appears to be December at the earliest. Not a chance I'll be able to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner in here, there's barely tools to make soup. No way in hell am I getting on a plane, and my closest family member is 3k miles away. Normally, I'd look for one of those "expat's thanksgiving" events, but I'm guessing those are all shut down this year thanks to the big coof.

>>15067520
im making a turkey roast anyway, and im gonna have a lot of left-overs for sandwiches for the next week

>>15067538
There's no better time to mend them than the holidays.

>>15067520
roast chicken and stuffing

big plans to buy a complete pre-cooked (and preferably hot) meal from a local grocery store or restaurant and hang out with internet friends
>>15067563
cute
invite me

>>15067520
I am. I figure what I'll do is go to Costco, get a few of those $5 chickens and use those to make a curry chicken pot pie. I don't do anything fancy, I just follow Ina Garten's food network recipe and toss a block of Japanese curry mix into the filling before I portion it out and put it into the oven.

Either that or get my self a prime rib cut and reverse sear that with a hasselback potato on the side, with maybe some creamed spinach (will probably get lazy and buy that).

>>15067520
a 100 day dry aged ribeye that I got for 16 bucks a pound from my butcher

>>15067520

I'm with my immediate family, trying to remind them we're entering a covid surge. That said I can't even eat any typical Thanksgiving food because of a special diet I have to follow.

>because of a special diet I have to follow

>>15067520

>>15067520
Turkey
Cornbread stuffing
Sweet potato baked with apple slices
Homemade cranberry sauce
Green bean casserole
Pumpkin pie

I'm just gonna pig out like a fat fuck for 3 days

>>15067520
I bought a turkey and a half a ham. I'm gonna do mac and cheese, turkey, ham, potatoes, gravy, rolls, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, cranberry cabbage, dressing. afterwards I'll make turkey a la king and turkey sandwiches

I will eat rice and punch 50 nazis

>>15069409
This. I plan on consuming all of this over a couple days.

>>15067547
>how does it taste?
Like salty coins and milk.

>>15067620
Probably something about burgers rolling into [country] after freeing the shit out it, wether it was warranted or not.

>>15069454
...and you're all out of rice?

Unsure yet, but with my sister breaking up with her boyfriend a few days ago, my parents getting their house worked on, and nobody liking my other sister's husband, I'll probably be doing nothing again like last year.

That's ok I guess, I'm on a diet and Thanksgiving is sort of an excuse to binge eat anyway.

>>15067539
heartwarming but also somewhat sad

probably a frozen pizza or leftovers

>>15067539
>watching A Christmas Story
same here, it was always on in the background for thanksgiving and christmas on TBS. whenever someone would arrive they'd ask what this new movie was

>>15067520
I've done cooking streams the past few thursdays (you may have seen the self serve ad here) and I was thinking of doing a Thanksgiving stream, maybe like an all day thing where I can leave the stream running even when my family comes over and you can say filthy things to them in chat if they're in the kitchen
Something for you anons with nothing to do on Thanksgiving

>>15067520
Any anons want to come over and share Thanksgiving dinner? I promise I'm a good cook, and we can watch some movies and play board games after we eat

I'm 5'6 and 125 lbs in case anyone was wondering

>>15069953
Where do you live? I'd 100% do this if you were close.

>>15069960
Portland

>>15069953
/k/ here; i'll bring the brownies.

>>15069981
:(

That's way too far. I hope you find some people to share it with.

>>15069982

>>15069984
Thanks anon

>>15069915
Don't be sad, the years go by and things can't help but change. I've spent some holidays with various girlfriends, some with my friend circle, and some alone. COVID is definitely a little more isolating but keep your loved ones as close as you can and make sure they know they're valued.

>>15067520
>What will you cook?
maybe a pot roast in the slow cooker since my oven died and my family doesn't do Thanksgiving much anymore ;_;

Its been over 1000 days since I shared a meal or hung out with another person so odds are I'm alone

>>15070070
Maybe Santa will bring you a new oven for Christmas. :)

>>15070079
santa isn't real

>>15070092
No, but perhaps some generous soul will help you get a new one anyways.

>>15070078
Are you me?

>>15067520
Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes. I love turkey soup and the fuckers are dirt cheap after Thanksgiving. Stuffing and mashed potatoes are my favorite sides

>>15067520
Spent my first thanksgiving alone last year after a really nasty break up, I still tried to cook but ended up passed out by 7pm. This year I’m in a much better place so I’m excited to be alone. Planning on making stuffing, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and either a turkey wing or chicken. Gonna attempt to make a sweet potato pie too!

>>15070078
You posting from supermax, anon?

>>15070318
If I never want to leave my house am I imprisoning myself ? Am I doing it for free?

>>15070347
Kinda.
