He/Him. I live in Indiana, but not like that. I like books and coffee. I’m a cat person, but I’ll still pet your dog.

Ran into someone from work and confidently called them by the wrong name.

If you need me, I’ll be living in the ocean.

After giving much thanks, my dad and I discussed which pain pill is superior after surgical procedures.

First time host advice:

The goal is for your friends and family to have a good time. If they did, you did it right.

It doesn’t feel good to botch it, but common mistakes make funny stories as soon as you let them.

Godspeed, friend. I know you’ll knock it out of the park.

First time host advice:

It’s fine to enlist family members to assist with the cleanup. Guests will often ask if they can help, you don’t have to turn them down to be polite.

Doing dishes is more fun when you can talk shit while you do it.

First time host advice:

Put something snacky (crackers, chips, funyons, whatever) in some bowls and set them out.

It is improbable that you’ll nail mealtime exactly and Aunt Bethany needs something to pick at.

First time host advice:

Wait for the sputter/bubbles in your roux to settle before adding flour.

Cook that roux for at least a minute. It will start to be nice and golden. An undercooked roux is where gritty gravy comes from.

Add the liquid in slow pulse, whisk until smooth each time.

First time host advice:

You don’t have to make every traditional Thanksgiving item under the sun.

A protein, a starch, and a green is plenty sufficient. If you can handle more, make more. If you can handle less, ask guests to bring stuff they love.

Advice for first time hosts:

Every cooking personality will tell you that anything other than homemade stock is a sin. This is bullshit.

Better than bullion good enough for your gravy and jarred gravy is good enough if that’s what you can handle. Homemade is great, but not at your expense.
