I'm cooking my pumpkin pie today because I likes it cold.

This is my first thanksgiving not having to travel in a very, very long time. I'm excited that I'm finally going to be able to see the parade on TV. It's the little things.

cold pumpkin pie is deeelish

My dad has kidney failure, so I can get benefits while I'm in highschool. I feel kinda like a douche for taking advantage on it, but hey, I need money.

Did it take a long time to get approved for it?

Dude, the government takes from SS all the time to pay for other bills. Don't feel so bad.

burning the house down is a very likely possibility - my mom has been in the hospital for a month or so and since she's gone i'm the one in charge of preparing the 15 dishes and 3 desserts she makes every year for the holiday. the problem is, i've never even cooked a full meal by myself before, let alone something this massive. but i figure if i'm able to cook half of it tonight and reheat it tomorrow i'll be golden:(

hope the rest of you have a better holiday and a more edible meal tomorrow :)~

edit: also, thanks you two!

Are you cooking a turkey for the first time? remeber to get your hand way up in it to pull out the gizzards, sometimes they are in a plastic bag and you might cook plastic into the turkey.

also, sorry to hear about your mom.

yeah i am:( i was able to talk my brothers into cooking the turkey + ham but then they came up with this deep frying scheme and so i fired them out of concern.

I hear deep fried turkey is the best ever. I'm supprised you didn't help her out in the kitchen before. You're a naughty child.

Deep fried turkey tastes so fucking good. My extended family made it once and we ate the shit out of it.

I'm going to try Turducken for the first time. Hopefully it won't suck.

Surprisingly, no. It only took about a month before I got the affirmative.

I see NASA's put up a whole other thing about 2012:

Whaaaaaa?


Oh well. Good luck jumping from never cooked a meal to making thanksgiving dinner for a family though.

I have a great respect for the Joy of Cooking - that book has never let me down.

Heard lots of good things about deep-fried turkey, but I've never had the pleasure.

How massive is the turkey, elx?

i cant wait for tomorrow :(

I have weed AND tons of food

My mother invited me over to Thanksgiving at her new boyfriend's parents' house. We're gonna have good times.

All my family (including extended) is apparently going to my dad's house, except me. My Thanksgiving sounds like it'll be a lot like kohljumanji's - a plate of food and a bowl of something else.

Deep-fried turkey sounds awesome.

I just looked up root beer. I cannot imagine what it tastes like. Description, anyone?

What? Really? Either it's the best pop in the world or you will puke. I love rootbeer floats.

it tastes like sassafras.

I really don't now how to describe it. I would say "vaguley medicine-like."
