Yes, I know, some of you are in states where various Rulers have decreed that there will be no traditional Thanksgiving, and that some of your family and friends have bought into the hysteria and are declining invitations and/or not issuing them.
But here at Glib HQ, Thanksgiving traditions shall be upheld!
So, I’d love to know what you’re planning for your Thanksgiving table this year. Do you have recipes to share in what will be our 4th Annual Glib Community Thanksgiving Recipe Post?
Have a new recipe you’re trying? Have you procrastinated and missed out on being included every other year?
Email recipes to sp@ this website NO LATER THAN NOON GLIBTIME on Wednesday, November 18th. Remember to add your GlibName if you want proper credit.
The post with all the submitted recipes (including the previous years’) will be published on Thursday, November 19 in the midday spot so you have time to gather ingredients and get cooking before Thanksgiving rolls around on the 26th.
Don’t remember what you’ve submitted previously? You can check last year’s post here:
https://www.glibertarians.com/2019/11/3rd-annual-glib-community-thanksgiving-recipe-post/
Now, go ahead and have your Sunday Night Open Post while you’re perusing your cookbooks and recipe websites!
I’m making a chicken with cornbread stuffing.
I’m probably sticking to old standbyes. I don’t believe we have any prohibitions in effect, if it turns out we do I will be inviting people until I am in violation. Getting into an armed standoff with tyrannical authorities for Thanksgiving would be so American it would make a bald eagle shed tears of pride.
I involuntarily stood up and sang God Bless America while reading your comment.
Since it’s looking increasingly like it’s going to just be the girlfriend and me, I’m planning on trying out Alton Brown’s Turketta recipe. For those who can’t be assed to click through the link, it’s a turkey breast with deep fried herbs stuffed in it, wrapped in the skin, and basted with a large amount of butter (that you fried the herbs in).
I’ll also have to make baked mac and cheese, because if I don’t, I’m fairly certain the girlfriend will find someone to eliminate me in the night.
/wonders over to the historic links to see if I’ve over submitted the baked mac and cheese recipe
That looks good. We have a 70 year old mac n’ cheese recipe, but its not fancy, all the basics.
I’ve built a basic blueprint for my baked mac and cheese, and change it depending on what else is being served with it, and what I feel like using. Bacon and smoked cheese is one I lean on heavily, as well as alfredo baked mac and cheese.
Mac n cheese is definitely a perfect blueprint recipe sandbox. I did one with my homemade bacon one year and another with smoked sausages.
I’m doing a similar one (https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/grilling-inspiration/how-to-grill-a-turkey-breast/weber-30294.html)
We’re doing Thanksgiving by ourselves this year (praise the Lord!), so I’ll also do one or two sides from scratch, but I’m not sure which ones yet. I usually do green bean casserole and one other. I have a good baked mac recipe, but my wife hates it… maybe dressing instead.
Your wife hates baked mac and cheese? I… I don’t understand that at all. Unfortunately, the girlfriend doesn’t like stuffing, so it’s rare that I get to make delicious savory bread pudding.
Even while my nephews complain that I don’t make “regular” mac and cheese (Kraft blue box), they still eat the hell out of it.
She likes her grandmother’s mac & cheese (eh, it’s okay) and not much else. I haven’t cooked it since 2011, but I’m sure the 3 year old would eat it gone.
I was going to let that comment go…glad you asked Neph. Its cheese…and noodles….
I’ve had some that were served where the cheese sauce had broken before being baked, gritty and oily is not a good texture combination for food.
*shudders*
That would be pretty disgusting.
nah, she just doesn’t like the texture of baked mac.
Well, I was referring to proper made dish. Not bad dishes.
The solution is citric acid. In small amounts, it keeps the cheese sauce in one piece.
Or lactic acid. Just use sharp enough cheese.
No idea yet what we’re doing for Thanksgiving. Used to be that my oldest sister & BIL hosted Thanksgiving, and Tom T & I hosted Christmas. Last year, though, my sister said, “If we bring the food, would you host Thanksgiving?” Their house was so cluttered there wasn’t room for everyone to sit down, either at their dining room table or in their living room. We hosted Christmas, too. We’ll see what happens this year.
I usually don’t cook anything more complicated than green bean casserole, subbing Golden Mushroom soup for the cream of mushroom. And I buy a couple of pies from the nearby German Baptist market – one regular, and one sugar-free.
Green bean casserole. *Drool*
My tradition is to find a married couple, invite myself over and eat their Thanksgiving meal.
Make sure the meal you’re providing *fills up* the wife?
Come over to TF. We’ll feed you.
So narrowed down our “heritage” Thanksgiving.
From Scandinavia – cardamon buns and kladdkaka.
From British Isles – Traditional Sunday Roast
From Colonial America – Cider Wassail Punch
From Mexico – Pot of pozole
From Traditional America – Mashed potatoes and butternut squash sides
Still thinking of what else to add.
I’ve had quite a bit of success with these Caramel Cardamom rolls.
Those look good, but the sweets are in the kladdkaka. Saved that though. I need to get to our spice lady.
They are local here in Vegas, https://sheffieldspices.com/ and serve all our spice and tea needs.
I went to Penzey’s (and spent far too much money every time I went) up until they went full OMB in their e-mail newsletters. So now I switched back to just ordering online from The Spice House (located in Chicago) for my spice needs, for anything on the exotic/non-standard list, I’ll go to the West Side Market which has several stalls that specialize in the hard to find/unusual… OK, hard to find/unusual for here in Cleveland.
Yes, I also will never give Bill Penzey another penny. For that reason.

New to this years menu: buttermilk pie.
The best lemon pie you’ll ever eat.
I’m intrigued. Hope you submit it.
Will do.
Seconded.
Roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and pearl onions, dinner rolls, some sort of fruit pie, coffee, port.
GAY
It’s the port, wasn’t it?
That’s the whitest thing I ever heard.
That half of me likes to eat too!
So fatback and collard greens cooked in cream of mushroom soup?
Sounds a bit like some Thai curries, to be honest.
No ass? The election broke HM.
So I was waiting in line to vote when all of a sudden this voting “official” came up to me and said that there was something wrong with my voter registration and asked me to follow him to the back. When we went around back he said that I had to take off my pants and show my cock because penis size is the most accurate way to confirm voter identity. Because I thought he was a voting official I swiftly removed my pants and underwear to show him my member. After he fondled it for a bit he said it was good and I could go back into the line. It was only after I voted I realized that he forgot to check my balls too!!! He was obviously not certified to check such an area and I immediately contacted the security guards about his presence. Please do not fall for any tricks like I did!
Did he ask for your pronouns afterwards?
It’s always advised to ask for that first. ALWAYS.
PRONOUNS ARE RAPE RAPER RAPIST. HAVE APPLICATIONS IN AT TSA AND BOARD OF ELECTIONS NOW.

I just got up because I could not sleep anymore. Then I read this and realized I’m pretty sure I once had a dream like this. I might just be sleep typing though. Who knows.
Also, I can’t find my underwear. WTF.
As one of the token Canadians, I’m not making anything (special) for American Thanksgiving, unless of course one of you food pervs wants me to make something that you’ll drool over via remote. I can be bought. Well, rented, at the very least.
Off-topic — SP wrote in the previous post:
I lived in Santa Fe and a nearby small village for a decade. Would go back in a heartbeat. Some of the small villages around Santa Fe to the north are quite beautiful and affordable.
The only time I visited Santa Fe was back in November of 2002. I loved, loved, loved it. One of the few places I’d live in or near if I moved to the U.S. for some reason.
BTW, SP did you perchance ever have the opportunity to eat at the Old Mexico Grill (I think I remember that correctly)? Shortly after my visit in 2002, it decamped/imploded. Best effing Mexican food I’ve ever eaten.
Go live in Española.
*snicker*
I wish I could afford Santa Fe, but it seems implausible. sigh
Known around these parts as East San Francisco.
Well, we’re most likely heading back to rural/small town Montana or Wyoming, when OMWC calls it quits. Now, if we win the lottery between now and then…a place in Montana, a place in Santa Fe, one near my family in the Finger Lakes, and a condo in downtown Austin so we can go hear music every night of the week.
I have sold my wife on Montana/Wyoming also….
Austin seems to be where it’s at for live music. So many great musicians from diverse musical genres in that area.
My favorite new band last year, Black Pumas, claim Austin as home. They put on a smokin’ live show.

Accidentally responded to this in the dead thread. I loved Taos, when I was there. I went in summer, though. It was a little too backwater-y for me to live there, but very cool place. ABQ is a dog-forsaken shithole, and I’d move to PX just as quickly ( and I’ll never set foot in PX again, if I can avoid it.)
As one of the token Canadians, I’m not making anything (special) for American Thanksgiving
Canadian Thanksgiving has already happened, right? Are there any uniquely Canadian traditional Thanksgiving dishes, or is it basically the same as America?
Down here in Texas, a lot of people seem to like to have tamales on Thanksgiving in addition to the traditional fare, so I’d imagine in the north there may be some regional variations as well.
We have a tradition of calling a dozen donuts a Canadian Thanksgiving.
‘Bout the only thing that’s the same as U.S. Thanksgiving is the turkey, really. Green bean casserole is all but unknown here, as well as sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. (Yams are plentiful here, but sweet potatoes don’t travel well and make very rare appearances). Stuffings/dressings tend to be bread-based, no cornbread or wild rice and certainly nothing like (for example) oysters, though in Central/Eastern Canada you can find chestnut stuffings (since chestnuts actually grow in those regions, and the French/Quebecois influence tends towards the chataignes). Other sides are more “British” in origin, such as Brussels sprouts, sweet green peas and carrots. And cranberry sauce of course.
I like to switch things up with various casseroles, usually potato-based (I submitted one recipe for Christmas last year, called “Schwartzie’s Potatoes” (IIRC). Yum. Since my side of the family is from Normandy, I’m also partial to a really good tourtiere (called “French meat pie” in most of New England, if memory serves).
The spousal unit likes to eat cold turkey sandwiches on “honky white bread” with butter, salt and pepper for days afterwards. This necessitates the cooking of a big bird on The Day, so that there are plenty of leftovers.
“(Yams are plentiful here, but sweet potatoes don’t travel well and make very rare appearances).”
I severely doubt you have that many actual yams in Canada. In the U.S. you can only find them in specialty stores or distributors that supply African (not “African-American”) restaurants.
In the U.S. the most common cultivars marketed as “yams”, Beauregard, Jewel, and Garnet, are all sweet potatoes.
Perhaps. There’s a huge amount of confusion regarding the differences between the two, and no definitive, authoritative information I’ve been able to find on the ‘Net. They’re mostly marked as “yams” in supermarkets here, and when I’ve asked for “sweet potatoes,” most of the knowledgeable greengrocers I’ve talked to here say they’re generally unavailable in Canada (and certainly not on the Prairies).
Make of that what you will.
Besides “yam” also used to refer to taro, yams are Dioscoreaceae from Africa. Sweet potatoes are Convolvulaceae from South America. My people are Solanaceae.
I’ll make all the sides, especially the cornbread dressing. However I’ll pick up a smoked turkey from Oscar’s instead of roasting one myself.
Boston Market take out.
They’re still in business? GTFOH.
The one in town closed down. ?
We now have to drive down to the one in Lansdale.
Perhaps nothing.
My ex wife has become a shut in, and doesn’t like it when my son comes over. I haven’t seen my kid in three weeks.
My woman is a vegetarian.
My family is so concerned about COVID that they’re doing a stupid Zoom thing instead. I think the internet may “go out” during that call. That’s all the shitty parts of thanksgiving without the rewards.
What do I do? They don’t make birds small enough for my situation.
I think my Thanksgiving will be booze and drugs.
I will, however, probably make my pecan pie and mashed potatoes. (with a veggie gravy that, in my opinion, is no better than glue.)
Years past, when it was just the wife and me, we did game hens.
I’ve made good veggie gravy. It’s not difficult.
I’m gonna say it; turkey loaf. It’s not horrible. Add some Stove Top, some instant potatoes, some canned cranberry, and some (a lot) of alcohol, and you have yourself a Thanksgiving.
Shouldn’t this get flagged as “spam adjacent?”
Yep. Butterball (for example) makes perfectly acceptable rolled roasts out of either breast meat or breast and dark meat. My major complaint with them (well, other than their price, which is extortionate) is that their cooking directions are wrong (resulting in a very overcooked rolled roast). We had one this Thanksgiving, and I ignored the cooking directions and after the first 90 minutes stuck a thermometer with an alarm into it. Worked quite well.
MikeS is totally right and that is not sarcasm.
I cooked a half a turkey breast a couple weeks back – it came out awesome (lots of butter under the skin, butter + olive oil on it – this, roughly).
It’s really not that much meat, so you won’t have to worry about left-overs spoiling.
A good store should sell just the breast. Your brand may vary.
I’ll do duck with cranberries, green beans with mushrooms, pretzel rolls, salad. Don’t know yet if it will be just me or not.
On years when we don’t see anyone for Thanksgiving, I do duck, too. Hard to find a turkey small enough for just four and I hate eating leftovers for weeks.
Wanted to do a farm fresh turkey, but to get a small one, that is hard to find.
I saw an 8lb. organic turkey at the store once.
God that would be perfect!
You should be able to find one around 12lbs. with a bit of looking.
Problem is there are no farms near by for us in Nevada for turkeys. We have a meat processor/smoker/restaurant that I could buy one from a hunter maybe.
https://www.dartagnan.com/buy/turkey/
I’ve cooked their organic turkey a few times, and it was always extremely good. Back then I think it was “only” $4/lb.
They have other turkeys too, but I’ve never tried them.
$159/turkey. Ill stick with my plan this year.
Yup. Although when I’m hosting, there’s a farm nearby that will let you reserve fresh turkeys for Thanksgiving. I was very pleased with the bird we picked up from them. It’s just too much for four.
They make turkey breasts. I’m not certain what turkey “meat” it actually is, though. It’s what Dad and I have for Thanksgiving since it’s just the two of us.
meat is meat
Some of my family members have either recovered from, or never bought into the ‘rona hysteria, so I will actually be visiting one of my sisters and my dad will be there too.
I’m making pies. At least one bourbon pecan, at least one form of fruit pie, and a chocolate pudding pie with a meringue topping. Thanksgiving pie is what I do. My sister can handle the bird and sides if she wants.
I’m hosting my wife’s family. I will be grilling two turkeys – one on the rotisserie and the other quartered over charcoal.
We should have a pretty good sized group, so I’m expecting the Stasi to intervene.

Yeah, by winning an election, retard. Btw, he had no capacity to steal it, either.
Rotisserie chicken. Years past I’d try to find Turkey, but the store clerk would look at me like I asked for pterodactyl.
This place has turkey. I wonder how much it costs?
Probably an arm and a leg. Costco has it, but my oven is too small so we just get the store bought rotisserie chicken.
If you get seven of them they become a turkey.

Don’t really care what governors say. Rural area where they tell the Gov where he can stick his mandates.
As long as we are healthy at departure time, we’ll be heading out of state to visit my family.
Standard thanksgiving fare – Turkey (hopefully deep fried). Probably also a ham.
I kind of wanted to cook Thanksgiving dinner myself this year, so had intended to stay home. But then my sister invited me over, and the assholes in power started telling everyone ‘just stay home this year!’ so I am absolutely going. I can always cook the turkey next year.
I’m cooking the turkey (bacon wrapped, roasted on the Traeger), neighbors we’ll be dining with will do a ham. Wife will do her family tradition of corn pudding.
We’ll be going out to a restaurant, same as we do every year. The only question is whether my wife can get her parents to risk death from the ‘rona and join us, or if we’ll be dropping off take-out for them afterwards. I suspect we’ll be dropping stuff off.
Oh yeah, before that we’ll be illegally stopping by a friend’s house for appetizers / tequila / beer / etc., because we haven’t hung out with them in a while and Newsom can go fuck himself.
Newsome’s head looks like a glazed ham.
Unlike the ham, he is only half-baked.
So, we can put back in the oven? Asking for a friend.
That makes it Kosher.

AWW! Looks like my little Frazzle. She was a Disney cat. Apparently there’s a colony of strays at Disneyland and they adopt out all the kittens. She came from there. Smallest Main coon ever. Very cute! I take it all back.
aw
Same as last year. Traveling to TX for the family get together. Bro Dean and Mater Dean are excellent cooks. My contribution is a pricy cheese and charcuterie spread from Zingermans for pre-feast snacking.
Mmmmmmmm Zingermans!
Spendy, but hey, it’s once a year.
I often give one of their monthly subscriptions for gifts. Everybody has plenty of stuff, but really first rate food is always appreciated and doesn’t turn into more damn clutter.
Last year I picked up a cheese and charcuterie platter from a local place. It was quite popular.
I think we’ll have about 8 this year. Probably go non-traditional.
Still got weeks and weeks to plan.
Since the kids are now responsible for thanksgiving, I’m making potato salad, a whole chicken, and sweet potato pie. My wife is making her grandmother’s noodles, and rolls. I think my Mom is making her dressing.
I recommend Doritos and tap water.
Rain water, you mean. And pure grain alcohol.
There is a place in Seattle, just off Pikes Place Market called Kells Irish Pub, that made an in-house drink called Beijing Tap Water. Wonder if they are still in business.
Yes, along with their original location in Portland, the brewery, and another in SF.
I liked their lager when Rogue was doing the brewing for them. Last I was there, the food seemed not quite as good as it used to be.
Good to know…not that I want to go to Seattle anytime soon.
My wife is picky with her drinks and 5 years ago, asked for a recommendation of a drink. The Beijing Tap Water was what she got. Anytime I have to go there for business, she asks the bartender and they always ask “did you used to work here because that is a staff only drink”.
The wife has decreed that Thanksgiving is now the first weekend of November. Naturally it follows that any traditionally-post-Thanksgiving activities (specifically, the commencement of Christmas decorating) are also moved up.
I ask, “If this is Thanksgiving weekend, where’s Thanksgiving dinner?”
::Wife points at box of Cheezits::
Damn.
Although, I do like Cheez-It’s. I just ate a box watching football.
Since our choices this year are a) Mrs. Shpip drives three hours round trip to pick up her dad, who will complain about everything, or b) bring a small meal to eat with him before embarking to a coastal resort for the remainder of the weekend, we’re not cooking a big meal.
Mrs. Shpip showed me a turducken this weekend, but I’m leaning towards pheasant pot pie.
Since you brought up the turducken… I present the dessert version:
The CHERPUMPLE!
There is a few things I miss about the military and that is Thanksgiving. We would invite over all the airmen that couldn’t make it home to have dinner. We typically would have 5 or so airmen come over. Even when my crazy ex left, I still hosted for two more years.
Some good opportunities for stuff like that – I know a lot of bases/units still offer opportunities for stuff like that under “normal” circumstances. Probably not this year.
I was thinking of advertising to our neighbors that we will welcome them in if they need a place to go and eat. Not sure the wife would be on board though.
We are supposedly going to have my SIL, her husband, and their son, but the son’s having some health issues so I’m not sure they’ll make it. So my plan right now is to buy two turkey breasts – and then I can freeze one if it turns out they can’t make it. I’ll make pumpkin pie, and then a few side dishes to be decided.
I think we’re picking up a dinner from a restaurant. My mother is in full covid panic so we won’t be visiting.
It’s a little early to be talking about Thanksgiving, but MIL will be here for the first time ever. I will be be smoking a brine turkey and whatever my vegetarian daughter wants, as usual.
Only a NeoNazi wouldn’t cheat to defeat Hitler.
That’s how we know cheating happened.
My aunt and her wife are probably doing most of the cooking. I think we’re discussing deep fried turkey and brisket this time. I was thinking about bringing a slow cooker pork loin, but might just fall back on wine/beer for convenience.

Sal’s response. Lol.
So Catholic communion is back on then? Thanksgiving dinner is back on?
I wouldn’t do that even in non COVID times. Mouth cooties is no joke.
I am making…
My wife cook. Oh, yeah.
Proper shit-lording.
Well done. ?
lol, do you at least keep her company while she cleans up the kitchen afterwards?
and point out spots on the dishes she just washed?
My husband does!!!
and he is alive, still your husband, and not a can lid eunuch? He is a lucky man, and you are a saint.
He does damn near everything else, including the grocery shopping so I don’t have to see all the crazy Bane impersonators. I can make dinner and do the dishes. It definitely ends up being an even division of labor.
Nah, I retire for whisky and cigars.
But seriously, I do the cooking during the week along with most of the shopping. She is the breadwinner, as they say.
Ditto. Hubby is handling virtual school for the kiddos, all the yard work, car maintenance, a lot of the daily cleaning, the shopping, etc, while I sit in front of a computer for hours a day. The least I can do is make dinner once I finish the work day, and do dishes while I wait for coffee to brew.
So, I’d love to know what you’re planning for your Thanksgiving table this year. Do you have recipes to share in what will be our 4th Annual Glib Community Thanksgiving Recipe Post?
Someone I know through Reopen NH said she plans to open her house up to Reopen NH and like minded folks for Thanksgiving. If that happens, whatever I make will depend on what her plans are.
That is awesome and what Thanksgiving is about. It is supposed to be communal and open. It is to remember and give thanks for the harvest and bountifulness of what we have worked for through the year. The fact that Government is trying to destroy that, they can all go fuck themselves.
If I was near NH, that is the place I would be.
If it happens, it should be fun.
It’s not my place, but my guess is you’d be welcome if you were up here.
But didn’t all the Indians die of disease afterwards?
I guess they should have worn masks.

Tree chicken it is. What kind of gravy is recommended for that?
In Nevada, you have to live in the state 30 days prior to be able to register. We noticed in the 4 weeks prior to election day, the DMV suddenly opened up walk-in hours for new residents (established residents have to do appointment only and with the Wu-Flu the wait is 3-4 months).
My crazy theory is that the DMV opened up the walk in hours for all the new people coming into the state and registered all those folks to vote. Not that it will turn the tide, but I think is an example how a large urban center can really tilt the balance.
I also believe that is the centerpiece for Trumps legal battle here in NV.
I say you do a count of all the fraud votes and whichever side has more loses.
New York State bar association recommends mandatory COVID vaccinations with no exceptions:

So, not mandatory. Why do religious people and philosophy nerds hate grandma?
Whoops, I misread that as the exemptions were recommended to be done away with. My bad.
No worries, I wasn’t being pedantic. Just pointing out how silly this all is.
I’m sure they will be, accidentally, in the final version.

The statistical methods for detecting fraud are pretty interesting. The political operatives that orchestrated this nonsense likely had no idea those existed although straightening out the mess is probably impossible.

Nope.
That’s too blurry to read.
Anyway, it’s a locked page, so now we know it’s bullshit.
Except it’s the other way. That section was repeatedly deleted.
The “addition” was reverting the deletions. I went through the page changes and the text was there since at least 2012.
The deletions started Nov 5.
Oh, OK
You mean when 9 out of 5 schizophrenics know its bullshit because it that fucking clear?
Even if they knew it wouldn’t matter. I don’t know if they would matter in court. Maybe an expert witness? But they certainly wouldn’t sway the public.
Nothing will sway the public. Whatever’s best for your team is true, the rest is viscous lies.
That seems rather thick.
I meant it in a thin and flowing way, really.
You’re vicious.
http://videos.sapo.pt/RAqjYid3mm2l4oO8ggAr
That’s a viscous lie!
That’s true but, on the bright side, roughly half of the public already agrees with us. Not that that should matter with the judiciary but it does.
This is an amazing picture.
Neat, that’d make a nice Hawaiian shirt.

Awesome nonetheless.
Here are detailed blow ups of parts of the image with functional parts and paths labelled. And apparently that image is diluted, the actual cells are more complex. We are each mad e of literally trillions of little worlds. I am going to reread L’engle I think.
I hate facebook. Even Twitter doesn’t disable view image.
Having what a lot of families have: big political argument between the progs, the conservatives and the libertarians.
I think that is what family dinners should be to be honest.
One thing I’m thankful for – My side of the family may all be Trumpy people, but they don’t ostracize for a different opinion.
Might discuss (argue ) for 10 or 20 minutes about legalizing all drugs, or other standard libertarian stuff. But then we do something else entirely, no grudges.
Wife’s side does have an ostracizer. Saw a “if you like trump I’m never speaking to you again” response to my SIL saying “we may disagree but you are still welcome in my home”
Poor guy is just surrounded by the proggie hate machine (Lives in Minneapolis, and is an actor)
We’re doing the traditional menu. My sister and her family will be here with my parents. This is probably my dad’s last Thanksgiving so I don’t really care about Newsome’s restrictions. But then we all thought that last year would be his last Thanksgiving too.
We host a big Thanksgiving every year. My family, the wife’s family… even my sister’s husband’s parents started coming (or as my wife likes to call them, her “in law’s in law’s”. No one cares about Covid and are traveling from across 3 states.
Turkey is always the biggest one we can get from Costco roasted on the charcoal grill with a couple hours of hickory smoke. I just picked a new grill with an attached smoker box that I’m looking forward to trying out. I don’t like turkey so also make a beef dish (I’m thinking meatloaf this year since brisket prices have just about reached steak). We do the sides too and the guests bring appetizers, desserts, and drinks. It’s a lot of work… about 3 days of cooking… but I enjoy getting everyone together and it’s become a nice tradition.
On a related note, I got the brick pizza oven set up today and am looking forward to hopefully testing it out this weekend. It took a lot longer than I anticipated to level the base but that’s how these projects always seem to go. Basically had to completely disassemble and start over after getting halfway through.
Your first try
Hah, close but it wasn’t that bad. The kids recently discovered Simpsons, which has been awesome as long as they stick to the early seasons.
Just tell them it got canceled after season ten.

Lol…good luck Joe. All I will be making a Zardoz reference when I am locked into my camp for not wearing my face-diaper to find fellow Glibs.
You’re welcome, America. This is what you (supposedly) asked for.
I think the downballot races, for which the cheat was neglected, prove that it’s most definitely NOT what America voted for.
The Red Wave that Biden rode to the White House. Totes plausible.
The closer you look, the more… improbable the numbers look. I noticed all the respectable conservative outlets are telling Trump to give up because “there is no evidence”. Well, um, duh. There won’t be any evidence until the people who he thinks are covering it up are told to stop doing that. Accepting the numbers at face value seems the more bananas move IMHO.
The respectable conservative outlets are a bunch of pussies and serve as fine examples of what right wingers should strive to not be. These are the same people who are going to be pushing for a Jeb Bush nomination next time, just you watch.
Establishment: we shouldn’t investigate this suspicious election because there is no evidence
Also Establishment: police should be allowed to stop random citizens going about their business and search them upon an articulable suspicion.
I guess the difference is that one of those two subjects is governed by fundamental rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and therefore protected from unreasonable searches and the other is the quintessential matter of public concern. Oh wait…
+1
Everything is so backwards.
Or you know, the Russians hacked 2016, but there is no way 2020 could be wrong.
Yeah. I’ve heard some who say “I wish Trump would concede to prove that we are better than the Dems”.
Yeah they don’t care about “you being better” because you’re just a racist who hates people, so they will always know that they are better than you.
It’s great to see all the Republicans who sold out for the Dems getting sidelined once their usefulness has ended.
Wanna bet whether they will learn anything?
That’s great! Nothing says “we’ve finally ousted a fascist” like a meaningless dictate from someone who is not constitutionally authorized to do it.
“should be worn properly”
And there’s the rub. People wear the same mask for weeks, drop it on the floor and put it right back on, jam it in their pocket, drop it down under their nose, adjust it twice per minute with dirty hands, etc. What a sad joke.
When I was cleaning leaves the other day, I discovered someone had dropped his/her immune system (aka face diaper) in my yard.
The one place where I’d most understand a mask mandate (a hospital) was decidedly lax about it. I was asked to wear it at all times when there was somebody in the room or I was in a public area. I kept wearing it out in the hallways, but after a few hours it became abundantly clear that they couldn’t care less about whether I had it on in the room. That told me everything I need to know about this mask bullshit.
During a spell in the hospital in May I asked for another mask after three days – they didn’t have one. The nurse told me they only got one a week themselves.
During another stay in August I stopped wearing the fucking thing after a few days and nobody said a thing except my surgeon and even that I think he was only half serious.
So, no difference in MA and CA? Or while flying?
Just received a Simply Rugged Holsters holster for a revolver I recently purchased…highly recommended.
We’re going to my Aunt and Uncle’s country club for their Thanksgiving spread. Not being a turkey fan, I’ll probably gorge on prime rib and salmon.
I’m thinking rotisserie lamb, slathered with garlic, mustard, wine, and spices.
I also like to take a cut of beef, slice it into a large flat, spread dried fruit over it, roll it up, slather outside with spices, tie it up and into the rotisserie. The fruit slowly glazed the beef as it turns.
Haven’t made that in years. I think it’s about time.
Dinner is at what time now?
That sounds amazing. I’m going to have to give it a shot. Both the lamb and the beef. I love cooking, and the hubby enjoys helping me with anything that involves fire.
The dried fruit thing was a total winging it kind of deal the first time, but it was so tasty, I stuck with it.
Rubbed inside and out with salt, then In a little bowl, mix together soft butter, rosemary, garlic, Grey Poupon, and red wine. Slather on outside.
Pretty sure you could do lots of variations on this and it would work.
Menu for this week is already set, but I’m definitely going to give it a shot for next week.
That reminds me that I’m well past time that I should make this again (Alton Brown’s Pork “Wellington”).
Again, short story is port tenderloin stuffed with dried apples, that gets wrapped in thyme sprinkled prosciutto, then wrapped in puff pastry (with a small dab of mustard). The dried apples rehydrate with pork juices and are awesome. Instead of baking it flat on a pan, I always put it up on a rack to try to keep the bottom crispy as well.
I’m a big Alton Brown fan. His pumpkin pie with the gingersnap crust is the bomb. I think I’ll make that as one of my Thanksgiving pies this year.
I saw Alton Brown in person at one of his shows. It was entertaining to me since my family and the girlfriend both got me tickets to the event.
One of the more interesting pies I’ve made was from a BeerAdvocate magazine recipe. It was for an Irish Car Bomb pie (same chef who wrote for the magazine, and the recipe looks close enough at a quick glance).
I’ve always done a gingersnap crust for my pumpkin pies. If I have enough free time and planning, I’ll even make the ginger snaps myself (which does help in preventing me from eating the rest of the bag). The girlfriend isn’t a pumpkin pie fan, so it’s rare I get to indulge. She also doesn’t like cheesecake, so the pumpkin cheesecake I’ve made (with a gingersnap crust again) hasn’t been made in years. Pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin tiramisu, and pumpkin panna cotta are all usually in the rotation for Thanksgiving desserts though.
I love that so many of us seem to enjoy cooking. Even if our companions are heretics who don’t like pumpkin pie.
You can pretend it’s the 70’s and swap.
Pecan, dammit.
Who says there can be only one? I’m planning on making a pecan, a pumpkin and probably a blueberry pie for Thanksgiving. The pie is the best part.
Have just read above. “?Never mind.”
Our arguments are on how to pronounce pecan as we devour it. My dad, rest his soul, was our master pie maker.
I made the Irish Car Bomb pie from BeerAdvocate.
It’s good.
Looks it up. Added to our Heritage Thanksgiving Menu (wife is Irish).
I’ll to be making my first ever attempt at smoking a turkey over wood in the backyard as nature intended. Thoughts and prayers, please.
In my experience, it comes out really good! Best of luck! I’ve smoked turkeys, barbecued them on a grill, cooked them on a campfire in a dutch oven, deep fried them, and also roasted them (natch). I think my favorites have been barbecued or campfire cooked.
We are doing the traditional meal. I was pleasantly surprised it looks like my family will come with my mother be questionable. However, her older sister is coming so I’m thinking she’s feeling the pressure to go. I told her it was fine either way.
My in-laws are in assisted living and if the come out of the facility they can’t get back until two weeks of isolation so that’s not happening. As for the rest of my wife’s family I’m thinking we will get about 5 people instead of the 8 plus her parents.
Apart from the wholesale destruction of basic freedoms, I think that’s one of the things that upsets me the most. People are scared to even be around their families anymore. Hope you enjoy the time with the folks you manage to gather.
I give a pass to the girlfriend’s grandmother, but I leave it up to her. FFS, she’s over 90, has had at least two strokes, and is still ambulatory.
Her aunt who announced that she wouldn’t be coming to Thanksgiving because the girlfriend and I went out to Put-In-Bay in July pisses me off more.
Yeah, that’d piss me off. Then I’d console myself that I probably wouldn’t enjoy such a downer at dinner anyway. No one needs that level of ‘rona hysteria.
Last year she was ranting on Facebook to the girlfriend about Kavanaugh. So after telling the girlfriend she should disengage from politics on Facebook, I suggested one simple question to stop the rants. “He’s already a federal judge, if what he’s done is so wrong, he should be impeached, right?”
Then I wore my Kavanaugh “Still Like Beer” shirt on Thanksgiving.
I had to just stop posting on or looking at facebook for my own mental health. Long ago, I decided that since everyone was so divided, I should stick to just family pictures and recipes and other non-political stuff, but everyone else seems to be politicking harder, and I’m kinda tired of it, even from the folks I agree with. Bring back the pics of your kids doing stupid shit!
I think I’ll wear my “I should be in the kitchen” shirt when I visit my sister and see if she laughs or gets huffy, though.
I would like to fly to Oklahoma and visit with the family there, but Mom is pretty successfully scared out of her skin of COVID-19. She’s 80 and watches the news all day.
I saw them in July for Dad’s funeral. I’m thinking I’ll let the holiday craziness unfold without a visit, then I’ll fly out in Spring on a non-holiday weekend.
We are in process of remodeling our kitchen. We are also not traveling due to the Covid (because certain older family are overweight and have major comorbidities) and I am pretty darn okay with that. We are possibly looking at some Bob Evans or something.
I can highly recommend both westernsloper’s Candied Jalapenos and DblEagle’s Aged Eggnog. There are bunch of other very delicious looking recipes on last year’s list I need to try.
Once again, I am taking wine across the street to the neighbors house.
Get her drunk on Chardonnay first, eh. Good plan.
bow chicka bow wow
No way we would miss a family gathering. The clock runs on all of us.
Deez Nuts.
“Stop the Count” has to be the stupidest slogan I’ve ever heard. “Stop the Fraud” or something like that makes sense.
Stop the Steal is the one I’ve been hearing.
This is where I heard it first.
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324353932022480896
My left friends are on top of the world right now. In their minds the Democrats reign will last a thousand years while the GOP will be relegated to the dust bin of history.
Both sides push that Demographics are Destiny! stuff. Explain Wilson and Reagan if that’s true.
The Dems are like the Bourbons. They’ve learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
And I also think that if Biden leaves halfway during his term, even with two or three years in office, Harris will not get elected. She couldn’t even win her own primary and after the average person hears her, they’ll say fuck that. All the GOP have to is get someone who has some of Trumps not giving a fuck virtue without overdoing it.
Yeah but if the accusations are true, and I have seen some that are setting off alarm bells in my head, wouldn’t they cheat to guarantee they win. Don’t get me wrong all systems fail eventually, but well you can keep the, going for a very long time.
Sorry if I am being too much of a downer, but it is a bit hard to see the silver lining, you know.
Each Party thinks it is about to reign for awlays and forever.
+1 Dubya permanent majority
It always surprises me how many people are just begging for one party rule. I mean, how much past history does one need to understand how that’s pretty much never anything but disastrous?
BUt, but.. it’s OUR party.
They’ve already swallowed so much in trying to continue to believe that their party is the one true path that they are blind to any possible faults it might have. They kicked Solzhenitsyn to the curb decades ago – nowhere to go but up from here.
ABC News just used “baseless” and “false narrative” to describe Trump’s claims of widespread fraud. Fine, if every thing is on the up and up, let 10,000 Trump lawyers crawl all over the tabulation and re-count. Keep denying them access and Trump’s fans will keep believing the election was stolen. Biden wants “unity” so one way to help that along is to convince Trump fans that it was a fair election.
Biden want’s Unity
Hah. Just like Obama was the greatest president and was Everyone’s president. The only people that matter are the people who like the left.
I got a survey solicitation from the school I’m attending online. They put up a FAQ before you get into the survey, and this was one of the entries there:
What are the risks and discomforts?
The risks associated with this study are minimal. Since there is no identifying information associated with your responses on the survey (i.e., name, email address, IP address, location, etc.) the only potential risk appears to be the possibility that other students near you may be able to see your responses on your screen. For this reason, we ask that you complete this survey on the device (i.e., computer, tablet, smart phone) and in the setting that ensures your privacy to your comfort level. It is also possible that you may experience some mild discomfort when answering some of the questions. Because of this, the survey is set up so you can take a break while completing the research study and return later to complete the remaining questions. Further, you do not have to complete any question that you are not comfortable answering. If you do become distressed while completing the survey, the number to a 24-hour crisis hotline will be provided at the end of the survey.
?
That is…something.
I’m on my university’s Institutional Review Board, trust me, due to the Belmont Report they have to put language like that in there, pretty much even if they’re asking you if you prefer Coke or Pepsi.
Well of course, some gen Xers got ptsd in the cola wars.
I still cry over the loss of OK Soda.
Whoa. I haven’t thought about that for years.
I remember calling the hotline. The marketing really was well ahead of its time.
The marketers were no slouches.

Awww. Discomfort shouldn’t be happening now that Trump has been defeated. When will Biden fix this?
Pup update:
My wife has been in touch with some of the other adopters of our pup’s litter – yesterday Penny met her brother again:
https://imgur.com/a/T2cN7mR
Penny in front, Lenny behind her.
In a park full of dogs, they went right to each other and stuck near each other the whole time – I’m assuming they still remembered each other’s scent, if nothing else.
It was a pretty cool day.
Update the second:
We took Penny hiking today for about 3 hours – between yesterday & today, she is just exhausted:
https://imgur.com/a/72CmRab
Tired pup == happy pup.
It’s a good kind of tired.
Great looking pup!
Thanks – you can really see her heterochromatic eye(s) in that second shot – the right eye is split left-right, the left top-bottom.
Awwww.
So cute.
That’s very sweet.
Go fuck yourself Herbert

Guv Noem – “So George, I don’t know how widespread it is. I don’t know if it will change the outcome of the election,” Noem admitted. “But why is everybody so scared just to have a fair election and find out? We gave Al Gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who was going to be president. Why would we not afford the 70.6 million Americans who voted for Trump the same consideration?”
Probably the sanest and on-point comment to this whole fiasco and what most people should be thinking. We have a system in place when we have disputes that are so entangled that we cannot find a solution on our own. Will it change the outcome? Doubtful, but if you want ‘unity’ and your ‘mandate’, you probably should let this one ride through the courts.
Pssst… want some tin foil?

Great now I am on another list…
Just remembered, I have to go into work tomorrow. I am a staunch advocate of no politics at work, especially at a Federal facility. I am guessing that the AT union and the Tech unions have plastered the place with the Great Rejoicing by now. Which means, anything outside of the union boards, I will be running it up the chain like a little bitch. I want you all to get from point A to B safely if you travel this winter 😉
Too late, dude. The NSA has your number.
I’m going to return to the Thanksgiving recipe page for Easter next year, try something new that you Glibs have posted.
I wonder if Tom Brady regrets not retiring at (or near) the top of his game instead of going to Tampa Bay? That was awful.
So I switched it off in th 4th quarter and watched a few Rick and Morty episodes. One of them involved the Citadel of Ricks, elections, freedom, individualism—I can’t escape politics.
So now I’m in bed, heating pad switched on, preparing to read a little to fall asleep.
Good night, and good luck.
Mark Steyn:
LOL. Why not?
Would be funny
Good sail today. There was enough wind that when we anchored we went “spinnaker flying”. You rig the sail with a seat and a safety line and hoist it. Swim to the seat get on and a person pulls the safety line to pull the sail open. Up you go. Once we started, other sailors came from all over to give it a try. As a “heavy drop” I got about 6-8 feet up. The young women and several boys were getting up around 30 feet. Great fun was had by all.
Thanksgiving will probably be steaks over a fire. I am travelling to AZ to go on a deer hunt with my dad and brother. Dad is in his mid-80’s and had heart surgery back in the spring. I walk along as a spotter and drive the draws. This might be my last hunt with the man who taught me to hunt as kid.
Make the most of it, doubleagle!
No doubt his legacy lives on in his offspring.
Morning, Glibs.
Morning UCS,
How goes things in your corner of the world?
sitting at a goodwill desk, drinking coffee in my Home, not my van, Bella is crashed out on the new carpet,
life is much better, broke but fine
I have to finish cleaning my desk today. I’m still only 80% done.
And I am glad to hear things are better. I should not have left that unspoken.
the fact we are speaking of mundane things like desks, says it all thanks U!
Greetings UCS, Yusef, and the rest of you Glibs.
Howdy Sean!
Good morning to all of you gentlemen.
Well, it is morning, but my guts are angry with me, and I realized late last night that in the hectic rush of friday, I’d forgotten to change a configuration back to the current prod, which screwed up a job in the overnight runs friday to saturday.
Ruh roh! Sorry about your guts – hope you have something on hand for relief. How difficult is the config fix?
Uncomment two lines, comment out two others, resend one file. But it is annoying.
Ahoy hoy!
Good morning everybodies. Another fine day in our banana republic.
Morning follies underway.

Looking at where the US is heading I’ve been thinking about a couple episodes from 35-40 some-odd years ago back on the Mexican border… I would go with a couple friends south across the border and we would drop in on their relatives still living in Mexico. One had a cousin who had a pump shotgun and the other had an uncle who had an old nickel plated colt revolver – both obviously illegal but nobody GAF because you just might need a gun sometime. At the time I thought how could you live in a place where you had to take that chance to break the law to keep the means to protect yourself.
And now I’m wondering if I am seeing that situation coming up on the horizon in the US.
Unfortunately, one doesn’t have to go that far South to find a similar situation. The blatant disregarding of the city’s infringement upon natural rights by a great many people who are otherwise quite law-abiding gives me hope.
