The best part of the British Airlines “Thanksgiving” was for sure the bright and lively orzo salad (????) and the random slice of cheddar cheese (???)— the worst part was the turkey-gravy-mushed starch?cran-jam concoction. Dessert was what I can only describe as Pumpkin-Spiced… creampudding???

lmaoooo I mean,,, maybe that's the not-so-secret plan my subconscious is cooking up!

I mean it’s good advice all around tbh 😜

Related, I got this sticker @oblongbooks.bsky.social yesterday bc it made me crack up

* My bad, the lyrics are actually “I’m gonna keep on BARKING at the Pink Poppy Club” (obviously)

We don’t have a Costco where I live but I understand they are fantastic, and I believe it.

My mom generally has an impeccable ability to improvise improvements to dishes on the fly — but she once decided to “mix it up” and add Chinese Five Spice to the cranberry sauce. It was disgusting, and we have never stopped teasing her about it. DON’T INCLUDE THAT IN THE CRANBUFFET!!!

(And imo the thing about green beans is, it can’t be some soggy casserole situation — green beans almondine (sautéed in butter almonds shallot garlic LEMON JUICE salt) is both satisfying and bright/lively enough to counterbalance the heavy brown flavors of the main event)

How… how are they “prepping” the turkey that involves FIRE??? Surely prepping is just like… brining? Drying? NOT SETTING FIRES???

Ooh what’s the Brussels recipe? I got a stalk of them at the farmstand yesterday… 👀

When I lived on the west coast Thanksgiving was the start of crab season and we would do that — but it seems like the season has started later in recent years

YES 100%%%%%

YESSSSS

I’m not fully in agreement, but I’m holding space for u

💯 hard agree
