What are you making for Thanksgiving!?

[Fifthfiend]

Like last year, this year I'm contributing two sweet potato pies, which if last year is any indication will be fantastic.

Also, glazed turnips! Which have also been well-received at various get-togethers.

Are you making anything for your thanksgiving get-togethers? Helping others make things? Being a big freeloading jackass? DO TELL

ALSO this is a thread about how the mIrAcLeS tag is sexy to death.

Jesus, look at that thing.

[Jesus]

No lie, it's pretty stylin'.

[Krylo]

Being a big freeloading jackass

Mostly this one.

Though I did help make a couple of things, did a bunch of the shopping, and would probably be helping with the primary meal tomorrow if not for the fact that we've got a nice fat snow storm and my job involves shoveling at a mall, so that is where I will be tomorrow morning.

[RickZarber]

As soon as the dishes are done, I'm gonna try to make a cornbread casserole. It'll be my first attempt, so wish me luck.

[mauve]

I'll probably be helping cook everything-- we'll be having Thanksgiving by ourselves this year, so it'll pro'lly be pretty basic. Turkey, green beans, some kind of bread or dinner rolls, stuffing, either sweet potatoes or homemade mashed potatoes, and of course pumpkin pie (not homemade >.>)

We do make a pretty damn good homemade cranberry sauce at our house, so I'll probably help with that too.

Some pasta, because unlike you whacky Americans, Canadian thanksgiving was back in Octobre.

[EVILNess]

My grandmother refuses any help or outside food that wasn't made in her kitchen.

I'm not making anything 'cuz I'm horrifically poor.

But I know my family is having turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, pies (pumpkin, chocolate, apple) and a strawberry jello & sour cream concoction that my mother makes. It's all great and I can't wait to pig out tomorrow.

[Flarecobra]

Swordfish steaks and rice. And Pumpkin flan for dessert.

[Doc ock rokc]

My grandmother refuses any help or outside food that wasn't made in her kitchen.

yeah when My grandma was alive she would swing her cane at anyone she didn't alow in her kitchen.
She never hit anyone with her cane as far as I can remeber...but she did cut my bangs off with a swing once.
Now my Mom is like this. Minus the cane.

[Krylo]

How do you people learn to cook Thanksgiving for yourselves if they won't let you in the kitchen?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Lasagnia, though I'm mostly not really helping with anything.


Miracles tag is flashy, and so colorful... But I still like it.

[Fenris]

How do you people learn to cook Thanksgiving for yourselves if they won't let you in the kitchen?

OT1: Marriage.

OT2: Yeah, I finally got around to implementing that tag after IG went through the trouble of making it. Been meaning to do that for a while.

[Specterbane]

Well Fenris, we're all glad you gave us something to be thankful for this year.

I'm mostly being a free loading jack ass, but I'm trying to make up for it by bathing that family dog who would rather cling to my shoulder or need to be held in the lap in order to stay still. Also I tend to be the one to do the dishes/clear the table after the fact, rather than serve up food I've never had any practice preparing. That's just how my family works really.

[Krylo]

OT1: Marriage.

That assumes anyone here can find someone willing to put up with them for that long.

[POS Industries]

What are you making for Thanksgiving!?
Money.

[shiney]

Pumpkin log & bacon-wrapped sausages!

[CelesJessa]

I am making my famous Deviled Eggs. My family will not have it any other way.

I'm not sure if my eggs are just that fantastic, or they're just thrilled that I'm cooking something so they make me do that. (I would cook other things if I wasn't forced to make deviled eggs every holiday.]

[batgirl]

I am not having thanksgiving with my family due to my parents living in Tennessee and it being very expensive to fly. My sisters will be going to their respective boyfriends/friends and I will be going to my boyfriend's family in New Jersey. I made a batch of my awesome extra chocolatey brownies for the occasion.

[RickZarber]

Update: My casserole looks like it came out okay. We'll see how it tastes tomorrow, I guess...

[Wigmund]

Oh wow, Mother Nature's decided to give my area a Tornado Watch (http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/72703:4?phenomena=TO&significance=A&areaid=ARC143&office=KTSA&etn=0751) for Thanksgiving!

I'll worry when I hear the sirens.

[walkertexasdruid]

I am a horrible cook, but I am planning on washing the dishes pretty soon this morning for my mom.

[Satan's Onion]

My family isn't actually having Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving day, because the roads are ten kinds of ice-covered shit, so anyone who we invited to come over would run a significant risk of getting killed on the way here. Also, there's getting the damn meal cooked in the first place, which involves running up and down the hill that both my family and my grandparents live on a good half-dozen times at least because while my grandparents have a kitchen, they don't have the utensils and supplies it takes to cook a whole Thanksgiving meal, and usually half the thing ends up getting prepared at our house and sent up there in the car, which, well.

But when we do end up doing Thanksgiving dinner, there'll be jalapeño cornbread 'cos I asked for it specially. And it'll be awesome.

[Hatake Kakashi]

My sister and I do the cooking every year, and we spend three days in the kitchen to do it. Here's what's on the menu:

Deviled Eggs, Ham & Cream Cheese Rollups, Mini-kebabs, Water Chestnuts or Mini-Weenies wrapped in bacon and glazed in homemade BBQ sauce and baked until candied, home-smoked oysters with teriyaki glaze, hot spiced cider, garlic & herb mashed potatoes, yams & sweet potatoes candied with brown sugar/maple/marshmallows, chocolate & peanut butter truffles, three massive veggie platters complete with a selection of dips, chips with a chili/cream cheese dip, homemade funnel cakes, cinnamon rolls (mine = no damned raisins!), oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal/raisin cookies, banana nut bread w/ dark chocolate chips, pumpkin pie, apple pie, a chocolate-cream dessert known as "sex in a pan," jello salad, macaroni salad, baked-potato salad, raspberry sherbet punch, homemade nog (eggless), and a 27 lb turkey w/stuffing.

Hoping to make a turducken next year.

[DarkDrgon]

UPDATE: My pies are magnificent.

[Yrcrazypa]

I made pizzas on Triscuits. I do that every day though, so I guess it isn't really special.

[McTahr]

Crazy hectic vegan stir fry-ish thing. I'll be the only vegan at the table, though there will be a few vegetarians sitting around the table as well.

[Wigmund]

Vegans at Thanksgiving?!
UNAMERICAN! That's worst than being a communist!

Mauve's Thanksgiving Surprise:

I woke up this morning to find ten full-grown cows grazing on my front lawn. They escaped from somewhere down the road from us. WAY down the road from us. What. The. Hell.

We eventually found their owners, but they can't come take them back until tomorrow morning. Eventually we managed to herd the majority of them into our lower pasture. So our fenced-off backyard is now full of cows. MANY COWS. Staring at the house. Always staring.


There are a good four or five of them still roaming the forests behind our house, which is owned by a logging company so we can't go back there. There's a big angry bull out there somewhere in the trees too, according to the owners. Nice. LOOMING IN THE DARK WOODS. READY TO STRIKE. POSSIBLY ATTRACTING MOUNTAIN LIONS INTO OUR YARD.

Thanksgiving adventure!!!!

[Krylo]

Sounds like it's time for some real home made free range thanksgiving hamburgers.

Sounds like every session of Minecraft I've played.

I had considered that, but I'm outnumbered and out of ammo.

And there's the few that are still lurking out in the trees to keep in mind, too. They could use their strategic location to flank me.

Don't worry, Mauve! The homing transmitter that I may or may not have planted in your hat is giving me a bead on your location. If you can hold out for twenty more minutes I can swoop in and air-vac you out of there!

EDIT: Crappy 1 hour black and white(ish) doodle inspired by this.
