Im alone by choice this thanksgiving. Cooking up some pasta and playing some games before Black Friday in which I will hate society even more.

Whats up with you?

i'm about to cook a lot of non-traditional US Thanksgiving dishes. Mostly Indian-themed stuff, all vegetarian. Possible pictures coming later.

I'll be doing a bit of laundry and sleeping in, preparing for a long drive to Little Rock for the LSU game and then right back after the game because I have to work Saturday and don't feel like giving up that money.

I had some turkey this morning though. So I'm cool for this Thanksgiving. I'll get my roll fix this Christmas.

I'll probably be going to my girlfriend's aunt's, though it's tempting to stay here and make some jellyfish stir-fry. Rice noodles, egg, sprouts, onions, peanut sauce, peanuts, jellyfish, some pepper sauce, garlic. Mmmmmmm.

Eating a potato, because in communist Canada we had already had our Thanksgiving...I thanked my countrymen for being loyal to the motherland, that was all.

Save me the effort of googling for something I really don't care too much about, what exactly are you giving thanks for at thanksgiving?

Thanks,

My family is still relatively close. My grandma and my uncles' families are coming over to my families house and we're all going to eat some spectacular Italian style thanksgiving. It's going to be wierd having our first Thanksgiving without my grandfather, but I guess it had to happen someday.

Heading out to my aunts house in about two hours. Should be interesting as we have a rather large family and this house is supposedlly pretty small.

Probably the first thanksgiving I've had in 5 years where there is only one place I am going to go to. Before I would always end up going to my dad's side of the family earlier in the day, then to my moms for actual dinner, and then head out to where my girlfriend was having her thanksgiving with her family.

Well, no girlfriend now. Dad's side is all off in Wisconsin. So. Yeah.

Weird.

(Sorry for the introspection... snuck up on me.)

Turkey at 2, then awesome Turkey sandwiches at 9. Thanksgiving is great.

Except for cranberry sauce. Worst ever.

Thats my game plan too. Except I'll be having stuffing and tons more food with that sandwich.

Oh. God. Yes. Except no nuts in the stuffing. Chances are I'm deathly allergic to any nut in anything.

Cashew - confirmed
Almond - confirmed
Walnut - confirmed

Have a few friends coming over later and I'm making a little vegetarian din-din:

-Tofurkey roast with gravy
-Garlic mashed potatoes
-Corn casserole
-Roasted Brussels sprouts
-Green beans

Probably a bit of drinking/smoking (not cigarettes) then stumbling out into the city for a movie.

There are a bunch of people downstairs as I type this, chatting away while I sit lonely at the computer. Lonely by choice. I don't really feel like socializing today. I will go down when the turkey comes out though.

I cooked my Vanilla cooked-cream pies and made my Jelly Roll yesterday for the desserts...pretty much did all of the Sweet Potato pies(continued flavoring and mixing the filling and baked them)...cooked the Lasagne and Macaroni&cheese(first time for that) today. Mother cooked the Turkey, Ham, stuffing, cabbage, and string beans. Modest stuff because things changed recently due to deaths/illnesses in the family.

Is it delicious? I saw some of that at the store and thought it was a good idea, but I'm not sure how it would taste...

It is pretty tasty. I've had one the last few Thanksgivings. It looks like a big balled up pair of socks, but once you get past that, it has a meaty texture, nice smokey flavor and has some pretty good wild rice stuffing already inside. As we speak, the Tofurkey is marinating in soy sauce, orange juice, honey and garlic. I recommend giving it a spin.

A couple Christmases ago, I made a Tofurkey along with my mom's usual meaty holiday feast. My little cousins were so grossed out by it that they were taking bets and dares on who would take a bite :lol

We had Thanksgiving dinner last night because my dad has to work today. My sister, who always cooks our thanksgiving meals, didn't arrive home from work until 6pm last night, so we didn't have dinner until 11pm at night. The late hour didn't change anything though, still a lot of fun and the food was great.

Today has been all about left overs and football.

Oh jesus...I just realized this dinner may not be vegetarian friendly. My girlfriend and I are both pesco vegetarians, so this could be interesting...Well, time to start cooking now in case I don't eat anything :p I don't wanna be rude, though...

Will he eat turkey to save face? Find out tonight.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, greenbean casserole, pumpkin pie, and some weird chocolate confection. And NO FUCKING YORKSHIRE PUDDING!! Grrrrr... what is Thanksgiving without yorkshire pudding?!

Good tasting but generic dinner.

I'm staying with my parents, and a bunch of relatives came over. We watched the Indy/Detroit "game" and I introduced the family to Donkey Konga. Turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, three different kinds of casseroles, and several different desserts.

Time for a nap now... phew

I was almost going to end up spending the entire weekend alone, but the fourth flight was the charm and I got in 23 hours behind schedule. So we're pretty behind with dinner, I think we're just about ready now. It was a pain in the ass getting here, but hey, now I get a couple days with family and old friends.

Just once won't kill you. Unless you choke on turkey.

Update on current Thanksgiving situation. My aunt made a "caramel apple" pie, which is apparently apple pie drizzled with caramel. Ate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while watching Moonraker. Life is good.

Afterwards, I had the first of many, many turkey sandwiches to come. Slightly heated up both the bread and the turkey, applied the appropriate amount of mayo. Truly, a sandwich that brings a tear to an old man's eye.

Now what you need is some StarCraft. With me.

*ahem* Drumroll? DID I EAT THE TURKEY!?

Nope! PETA would be proud.

Didn't eat anything. Got the worst stomach flu I'd ever had the night before, and spent all day puking and pooping (well, "butt-peeing" as my brother calls it).

Wait, that's not entirely true: I did get to eat this Alka-Seltzer shit that's supposedly flavored like Honey Lemon, but in actuality tastes like what I suspect cat diarrhea does. I dunno why they bother with the Honey Lemon bullshit -- technically, a turd covered in sugar would be worse than a turd by itself.

Oh, and my internet was out, so I just got to lay in bed and pray I didn't shit myself. I give thanks that I didn't. Thanks!
