Shanedorf Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The very best Holiday ever conceived and here's just a couple of reasons: Its always the same day of the week, while other Holidays are tied to an actual date Its always a 4 day holiday with the biggest event on Day 1 and then 3 more glorious days to celebrate/recover If you are smert, you can take off of work Mon-Wed and have yourself a 9 day vacation Its focused on Family, Food and Football : you cannot beat that combo Pie is always a part of the celebration No presents, only your presence is required Stuffing: the worlds' greatest casserole It's the perfect American holiday where we over- feast massively and celebrate stealing our country from the locals 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hot take: Stuffing is gross wet bread That said, you're right on about Thanksgiving. Give me sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, corn casserole, homemade rolls, mashed potatoes, and obviously pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuffing is bad because it'll just make you overcook your turkey. Dressing is the ****. Don't think of it as gross wet bread, think of it as savory bread pudding. Make it from scratch and it's delicious. Especially if you add some chicken livers to it. Personally, I'm ready to make a whole lot of pumpkin pies.

animaltested Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Wild Rice based stuffing > The Other stuffing garbage Only philistines dislike cranberry sauce White Meat > Dark Meat since its pairs better with Cranberry Sauce + Gravy Blackberry Pie should be the staple fall pie NOT Pumpkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also make the dressing from scratch. Start with home made bread and turn it into croutons. Fresh parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme from the garden We also add cooked and crumbled fresh pork sausage for the flavor factor. Not sure who is serving you the "gross wet bread " but the version we make is real and its spectacular And no, it doesn't go in the bird. Its a casserole, freshly baked in the oven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywlker32 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 My family makes a dense marbled stuffing. It is amazing and makes for great delicious bread for the leftover sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 We also have gone to the concept of a carving station for T - Day Typically 25 - 30 people, some years more Carving Station has Turkey, sliced Ham, standing Rib Roast, Tri-tip steak and Salmon Turkey bakes in an oven bag for 3 hours or so, then on the grill to brown it up Sliced Whole Ham from local butcher Rib Roast slow-cooked for 5-6 hours in the Alto-Shaam Tri-Tip and Salmon on the grills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother’s “dressing/stuffing” on the other hand goes in the trash and we don’t let her do the turkey anymore. @NateDawg anything to add here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I love Thanksgiving. Sad I'll probably miss spending it with my mom this year though because of her moving to NC and me likely having to work the day before, day of and after.

theJ Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Right in man. Been saying this for years. I ban Christmas related things in my house until after that weekend. Maybe the Sunday night of Thanksgiving weekend if I'm feeling generous. #dadrules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
