Happy Thanksgiving!

[cleolinda]

So, what are we eating today?


(I don't actually know. I saw four pies downstairs, that's all I know. There might be a white chocolate cheesecake?)

ETA: EPIC NATIONAL RICKROLL. Man, the Macy's Parade got the man himself to do it. I don't think anyone can ever do it again. There will be no greater Rickroll.

Ham, stuffing, mashed cauliflower, pumpkin cheesecake. :) and wine.

I won't know until I get to my grandparent's house... but I'm making the potatoes. 10 lbs of yukon golds mashed. Yummm.... Happy Thanksgiving!

[pugnacioun.livejournal.com]

Tofurky roast, stuffing, corn casserole, whole grain rolls, pumpkin pie...

Tofurky!

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

Great stuff; I thought I was the only Tofurky roast here.

And the cranberries = simplicity:

1 cup whole fresh cranberries
rind of 1 orange (take off with peeler)
juice of 1 orange
1/4 cup sugar

Put all ingredients in food processor; whirl until chopped. Cranberry relish: double recipe as needed.

CLEO

Thanksgiving just got Rickrolled. Rick Astley appeared on one of the floats in the Macy's Parade.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

But to answer your question:

Turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, buttered diced carrots, cranberry sauce, rolls, and chocolate pie.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Well, we tried to make key lime pie.

That deflated and fell apart.

Then we tried to make sweet potato pie.

That overflowed the pan,but looks good.

My sister said something about bourbon pecan pie.

Hopefully that went okay, or we got pie issues.

Also, Macy's just rickrolled.

[christigilly.livejournal.com]

If the bourbon pecan pie is from a Food Network recipe (I forget which chef), it's FANTASTIC! My dad made it last year and will again make it this year for our 2nd Thanksgiving (We have 2: one traditional made by my Grandma complete with green bean casserole, and a 2nd made by my mom - dessert by dad - which is very gourmet and way yummier).

TURKEY AND CAN SHAPED CRANBERRIES!

Love the tags!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Can-shaped cranberry sauce is my favorite, to be honest. : )

[nefariousgrey.livejournal.com]

Spaghetti.

Having no money on the holidays = lack of feast.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw! Spaghetti is awesome, though.

[serenity-winner.livejournal.com]

I thought your icon was some cutesy hellbeast's mouth opening to devour me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, no. It's a shot from Marie Antoinette.

[krazycat.livejournal.com]

As my friend just told me, They just RICKROLLED THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE!!!! (http://krazycat.livejournal.com/200157.html).

[darthsarah.livejournal.com]

I just saw that! I really like the Foster's Home cartoon, and totally spazzed when the music started. Oh Rick...

My first German Thanksgiving

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

With the rest of my family out of town this year and me not wanting to travel, I'm taking myself this afternoon to the Rheinlander. It's a longtime German restaurant in Portland; one of my family's favorite recipes is adapted from a Rheinlander recipe.

Before that, honestly, I'll want a burger. I'm donating blood this morning and I'll hope a fast food place is open for early lunch because a burger is a decent source of iron.

No matter what, I'll eat well. Hope the same for you!

Re: My first German Thanksgiving

[dine.livejournal.com]

you might check Burger King - I know the one at 50th & Powell will be open normal hours today, at least

[tosca1390]

White chocolate cheesecake? Oh, that's clutch.

I'm on my way to make the turkey. That's right, I'm sticking it to the man by taking his job. :)

(FYI: I've been here since summer, but I only comment sporadically. I find you hilarious!)

[blacktigr.livejournal.com]

My sister's cooking from scratch and I'm bringing the cheesecake, that's all I know. That's enough for me to drive the state away for dinner.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

RickRolling is dead now. The puppet killed it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The puppet? I didn't actually see it.

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

White chocolate cheesecake?! That's divine.

I'm baking brownies to take to the fam. Hopefully I shan't eat them all in the car on the way over.

[christigilly.livejournal.com]

LOL @ your icon

[missnanna.livejournal.com]

Rice with spicy meatballs and oniony green beans. Not American. Gosh, I'm jealous y'all get a day off for gorging yourselves!

Happy thanksgiving!

[ghoties.livejournal.com]

I missed it because I was on the stupid phone! T_T

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I just heard about it now from y'all, so I'm hoping it'll turn up on YouTube (of course it will).

[soulforophelia.livejournal.com]

I was in tears I was laughing so hard at the rickroll. That was absolutely fabulous and the best national rickroll in like... the universe.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I dread having to explain to my family why it's so funny. I... I don't know where to start.

[surreptitially.livejournal.com]

That was so fucking epic, omg. Never gonna give you upppp.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

AND NO ONE AT MY HOUSE UNDERSTANDS WHY!

[off_coloratura]

Turkey, yam casserole, mashed potatoes with rosemary and garlic, cranberry relish, garlic bread, spinach and strawberry salad, apple crisp, pumpkin pie, and vanilla ice cream. With apple cider (sparkling or hot), wine, sparkling grape juice, or soda.

[cpip.livejournal.com]

Ah! Sparkling Cider! Dash it all, I KNEW I forgot something at the grocery store.

[fanofall.livejournal.com]

I saw "Rick Astley" on the "Famous People What Do Macy's" list, and that was EXACTLY my thought -- RICKROLL. AWESOME.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

Yeah- considering they said his name at the beginning of the broadcast, it kind of killed the surprise factor a little. Especially once they mentioned a "special musical suprise."

[vintagevenus.livejournal.com]

I'm in Paris for the semester, so I have a big crusty baguette with all sorts of seeds inside. I was going to have an expat dinner, but this is some sort of pre-exam Hell Week all over the university system. D:

But the bread is, at least, approved as French Tradition under the Bread Decree of 1993. I really have nothing to complain about.

(i am hardcore missing sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce, though, oh man)

[zeroxgirl1201.livejournal.com]

I had myself a most serious laugh when the Rickrolling happened.I think I woke up my sister. I'd feel bad, but damn that was funny.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

Turkey, dressing, homemade cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans with almonds, those awesome rolls that come in a round pan from the freezer section, gravy, homemade Coconut cake.

Except for the rolls, the gravy, and the Coconut cake, I'm making everything. This is my first time doing Thanksgiving for more than 2 people.

[cpip.livejournal.com]

Salad, stuffed chicken (with more stuffing on the side), green bean casserole, spinach, can-shaped cranberry sauce (I love that term!), crescent rolls, pumpkin pie.

And re the Rickroll: All that is left now is to sneak a copy of Never Gonna Give You Up onto a NASA mission to Jupiter and rickroll the solar system. There is nothing left for rickrolls on Earth.

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

By the grace of the great space god that will happen. And it will be glorious.

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

I'm eating whatever the restaurant has. We're going out of town to see my grandma in the nursing home, but eating in a restaurant that cooks Thanksgiving dinner every year first. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, rolls, green beans, ham, sweet potatoes, and who knows what else.

Happy Turkey Day!
