I have a turkey. Sweet potato. a box of stove top A frozen roll of pork sausage marshmallows a can of something called Jellied Cranberry Sauce because apparently "you can't have turkey without" some red goop in a can! crescent rolls and String Beans, because Goddamnit I'm making SOMETHING for me to eat.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp.
Some red goop in a can...that's their new slogan.)
I've got half a dozen eggs that "expired" Nov 24. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp. I don't have paprika. I guess I have no options other than egg salad then right?

If mine doesn't come out like the one in the photo I should sue the food network right? Or just go rob Lolobug's bathtub?

I particularly like the toys. No lonely turkey here! That duck is looking a little worried, though.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
) Good luck, Ident! Don't burn the house down! And of course everything is better with picshures!
I have never made a turkey, ate my first ever Thanksgiving dinner last year. I might attempt to make one next year. I just don't really like the traditional side dishes. Everything is so sweet. Except for the cranberry sauce. That shit is delish!

If you don't like sweet you'll have to come to our house (not that we have American Thanksgiving). We have spicy yams - yam chunks that are coated in a mixture of olive oil, jalapenos, fresh minced garlic and ginger, curry powder and cumin in a bit of orange juice then roasted.

Leeze I'm with you - thanksgiving dinners are gross. The only items I enjoy are the mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, and whatever vegetable. I was going to make arroz con gandules but it feels stupid and wasteful to make a whole other dish. I made extra salmon and rice tonight so I'll probably eat that tomorrow.
Yummo, salmon and rice are good too! I am generally more a savoury tooth, so you can chase me with anything sweet in a main course. For dessert, yes, but not too much. Cav's aunt makes a mean Key Lime Pie. I hope there will be some tomorrow...

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp.
Thaw turkey as much as possible before tomorrow. If you stuff it cook for approx 20 mins a lb otherwise 15 mins a lb at 300 degrees F. So about 3 hrs for your 12 lb'der. If all you have is stove top then follow directions on box not hard. If you cook in a separate dish use turkey juices(these will appear about an hour into cooking turkey) to moisten, will improve flavour drastically. Thaw pork sausage shove under skin of turkey before cooking. It will feel like you're violating the turkey a little this is a good thing. Throw the marshmallows out unless you are making hot cocoa. Open can of jellied cranberry sauce empty into bowl and smash until it no longer looks like it came in a can. Next year buy a bag of cranberries and make the sauce fresh, super easy and tastes a million time better. This is one of the best parts of turkey dinner do not underestimate the power of the 'red goop'. Chop yams into 1/2" chunks toss with olive oil and some herbs and bake till fork tender. Follow the directions on the crescent rolls - again not hard. Steam the beans.
Also before you panic about so many things having to go in the oven, time it so the turkey should be coming out about 45 mins to an hour before you want to eat - leave in roaster. Then shove everything else in oven (yams first).
When done shove everything in your face and let the foodgasm happen. Stop when it hurts - let food coma commence.
Enjoy your thanksgiving

LOL I would love to do all that but I would risk a special torture if I don't present things as expected. If I have to do this again next year I WILL jump out a window.
I have to do mashed sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top which is one of my biggest concerns cuz I have never used a hand mixer in my life and I have to. I've only ever mashed potatoes with a fork.

Well that's not cool if you can't just cook things how you want to. As for the hand mixer just make sure the beaters are on the bottom of the bowl and start at the low speed and slowly work your way up. Otherwise you will wear the yams for dinner and if they're hot that's gonna sting.
Good luck with everything.

With a mixer? I'm using something like this. But I love when there are clumps in there...
A handmixer is easy to handle. Just don't go with top speed when you just dive in. You'll get a feel for it. Boil the taters, put some butter in milk, slightly warm it in the microwave or on the stove, pour it in, mash up a storm, add a pinch of nutmeg, pepper and salt, bam. I'm not so sure about the marshmallows. That sounds kinda gross. I would put freshly chopped parsley and chives in there. Or pieces of roasted garlic. Mmmmmh.
EDIT: I just saw it's sweet mashed potatoes. I have no experiences with that. Hm. Does it taste like pumpkin a bit? Still, the marshmallows gross me out. Take pics!
Best of luck for you tomorrow! Stay sane, get drunk - you can do it

Is there a cooking thread? I need one. If mine doesn't come out like the one in the photo I should sue the food network right? Or just go rob Lolobug's bathtub?
LIVEFOOTSTEPS.ORG/USER/?USR=435
Here's a (non-loaded) question - what's considered Thanksgiving music? Is there such a thing?
(actually, I might be thinking of Moonshadows)
Still, I always thought Arlo was cool - not to mention that name!
They come in sizes?
...this is the baby onesies at the merch table all over again!!
I'm just kidding. The smallest one I could get which is unfortunately 12 freaking pounds.

Have a good day tomorrow, everyone!
