In this thread, the DUmmies discuss Thanksgiving dinner and come up with some really revolting ideas.
As always, the day after Thanksgiving they'll be discussing the blistering arguments they had with their ignorant repuke fundie relatives.
But for now, they roll out the DUmp cuisine, beginning with the DUmmy fizzgig, who shaved her head in a fit of anger, and recently had her husband involuntarily committed:

it it too early to talk thanksgiving menus?
sister and i had our strategy session today and we're off to the store on friday. this is our one big, blow-out meal of the year and as exhausting as it is, it's always worth it. it'll be dad.
here's what we put together.
nibbles:(cool it, stevenumbers, it's nibbles, not nipples)
onion dip (we cut the mayo in half and make it up with greek yogurt)
spinach artichoke dip (which i decided on just now)
chips and veggies for the dip
devilled eggs (just not for me, not an egg fan.)
turkey will be made using america's test kitchen's recipe
sides:
cornbread and sausage stuffing
mashers with gravy
brussel sprouts with bacon and apple
from-scratch green bean casserole (we do use french's fried onions, though)
cranberry sauce
popovers
dessert:
sour cream apple pie
pecan pie
this year we're doing it entirely gluten free, too. i won't lie, i'm a bit dubious about the pie crusts, but it doesn't really matter because i don't really like pie crust.
i'm going to try to get out of work early next wednesday (which for me means seven) so i can go over, knock out as much prep as we can and bake my pecan pie. i'll probably just crash on the couch.
oh, and i'm expecting some serious food pr0n photos

1. Here's mine!
Turkey, obviously
Stuffed pumpkin (roast it, scoop out interior, mix with rice, asparagus, mushrooms, onions and place back in the pumpkin)
Boorak (Assyrian eggrolls consisting of beef, onions, peppers and parsley -- family loves them so they are on the menu for every holiday!)
Whipped sweet potatoes
Roasted cauliflower with pancetta and parmesan
Dessert: Pumpkin cheesecake AND I think I'm going to try the Baked Indian Pudding recipe that was posted here. Seems like the perfect Fall/Thanksgiving dessert.
Eggrolls and a stuffed pumpkin!?!?!
That would make a hell of a revision to the Norman Rockwell painting.
Grandma bringing out the big Thanksgiving platter with a jack o'lantern on it!
DUmmy Lucinda is the major domo of the cooking group, so you know she's going all out for Thanksgiving:

So maybe something different like steaks or homemade tamales....not sure yet!
More Brussels sprouts:

8. Just the two of us too.
So.....I bought the traditional leg of lamb that we will probably do on the grill. Mashed potatoes because I love them and maybe shaved Brussels sprouts. And definitely Heretic's Indian Pudding.
And even more Brussels sprouts:

7. Here's what we're doing this year

Ham
Sage dressing
Sausage and cornbread dressing
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Roasted Brussel sprouts
What's with all the Brussels sprouts at the DUmp? Gross.

Brussels sprouts are delicious, but you'll go broke buying them.

They're definitely one of those grow-your-own crops that will save a bunch of money at the grocery store. I need to look into them for next year.

Not hard to grow. We have some every year in the garden. Had some in a 4x8 last year that got about Two foot tall had TONS of sprouts on them.

I'm definitely going to have to try them in my garden this year. I love brussels sprouts.

I'll have to take over one of the raised beds from my brother. He planted them full of herbs and flowers and let them die.

Brussels sprouts are worse than okra.

Okra is heavy and oily. Brussels sprouts are light, savory, and go well with bacon and potatoes.

I would describe okra as slimy.
A very small amount is okay in gumbo. Otherwise okra should not exist.

Brussels sprouts are great with roasted potatoes, celery, onions, and carrots. The only way I can eat them plain (the way my mother served them) is with lots of brown gravy.

My grandma fries okra. That is tasty :-)

The only time I get fried okra, it comes from a frozen bag. :(
I don't enjoy frying stuff at home. It's too messy.
-
We used to get fried okra and Brussels sprouts as kids. Loved 'em, but hard to find fresh okra around here now. However there's usually breaded okra in the frozen foods. When I find 'em fresh, I pickle 'em.

Roger that. Don't see why people complain about the cost of brussels sprouts when all the dirt you can eat is just outside the door.
-
I hate brussels sprouts. I would almost rather starve than eat them.
-
My wife bakes brussels sprouts with olive oil . . . They are great! Gotta do a whole bunch of them next year. Maybe some here at the house, and some on the Town land behind the house . . . !
-

Haven't a clue what you mean.
I like both! :-) :drool:
-
What's with all the devoted fans of the Brussels sprouts? I cannot even get them down the gullet, and chewing them makes me gag. Yuck.
Fizzgig puts mayo in her onion dip? It should just be sour cream & the Liptons.

Fried okra is great. :popcorn:

Brussels sprouts make good ammo for carbide cannons.
Probably the only thing they really are good for.

Like this but we use bacon fat instead of olive oil.
-
Not even bacon fat can save them.
I like okra OK in a gumbo.

Oh, sorry, DUmmette, I didn't realize you were cooking only for one.
:whatever:
-
Love brussels sprouts. Steamed, baked or grilled and served with butter, salt and pepper.
Fresh breaded and fried okra is great too. I use the frozen ones for gumbo.
-
You people probably like brussels sprouts pie.
Gross.

What kind of green vegetables do you like?

What kind of green vegetables do you like?
Pretty much all of them except brussels sprouts and okra.
Peas are okay by themselves. Okra is okay used sparingly in gumbo.
Brussels sprouts should not exist.

CALL PETA!! The DUmp advocates the BRUTAL MURDER of TURKEYS!!
Did I miss anything? I didn't see one...not ONE!!... post bemoaning the destruction of Ben Franklin's proposed US national bird!
Breathtaking...

This is turning into one of those beans vs. no beans chili threads.
Count me as another vote in favor of brussels sprouts, especially steamed.
Don't really care one way or the other if my chili has beans or not.
-
I don't even know you people anymore. :bawl:
-

Without beans it's spicy meat soup, not chili.

Or another fight over green-bean casserole.

Yeah. I've had my wife try every which way since Tuesday to fix those things, and it always results in them being pushed to a corner of my plate, uneaten.
I would rather eat tofu.

I usually hate okra too, unless my nana makes it. Not the least bit slimy. She dunks them in bread crumbs and fries them in bacon grease.

The treehousebastard would gladly bake up a fresh loaf of cauliflower bread. :p

brussels sprouts = :puke:
rotten little dwarf cabbages.

If you're going to have bacon grease, why not just eat bacon?
-
I'm gonna be sick.

Hush yo' mouf!!!
I like FRESH green beans. Canned or frozen, I gag on them. Literally. Can't stand them. Don't know why.
-
Oh Christ you didn't bring okra into it...that is the BOMB in gumbo and pickled, fried and well just about anyway it is cooked....damn joo peeps just haven't had it cooked right....TOTS cooks it right!!!!!!!! I do the pickling :rotf:
-
Good fried okra is hard to find. Most of it comes out of a bag from the freezer section and is either undercooked or just plain wrong.
-

Pickling requires precision and math, and I don't like to mess with that with my cooking. :) I can cook up some crispy okra without frying it- no slimy bits at all! For Thanksgiving I am cooking up both brussel sprouts and beets with their greens. :-)
No beans in chili. That is all.
-
No-bean chili is nothing more than a hot dog topping
(Although in a pinch, I HAVE used Armour chili with beans once on a hot dog) :whatever:

I like it fried, stewed, or cooked in a big pot of butterbeans or acre peas with cornbread.

Wait just one damn minute! Why are they celebrating such a racist holiday? I thought they were so sensitive. As a one drop Cherokee I'm offended.
-
Beets! Gross! Plus they stain everything else on the plate purple. I can't even walk past them in a grocery store without shuddering. Know what else makes me sick? Vegan foods. I have to work with certain lists of foods, and here are some examples that make me nauseated just working with their invoices, etc.
Buffalo wings meat substitute
Leanie Wienies
Sundried tomato veggie burger
Veggiemax meat substitute
Pizza crumbles vegetarian
Southwest black bean burger
I'm queasy just typing them.

I'm going to grill a steak, and be done with it.
Afterwards, I'll sit under the pear tree, drink beer, and watch the squirrels fornicate in the backyard.
I'll be thankful just because I can do that. :yahoo:

I love beets. Fresh beets with butter, or even the pickled ones in a jar.

That's one drop more than the senior Senator from Massivetwoshits. Those high cheekbones are a dead giveaway.

I used to say the same thing till Totts cooked them for me for the first time HER way....now is a different story. I wont eat my moms beets cause they are the same old shite it was when I was a kid. Keep your mind open to new things ......you might be surprised.
-

Beets are too sweet for my taste. I'll eat them with other roasted vegetables, but only in very small amounts.

Red garden beets aren't really sweet naturally like the white sugar beet. The red sweet ones have been pickled that way.
I like fresh beets, boiled in their skins, peeled and sliced. I like mine with butter. You can pickle your own by cooking in a sugar and vinegar syrup.
They are really nutritious.

I'm weird about sweet vegetables and meat. I won't eat ham with a sweet glaze, and cooked carrots and peas are both too sweet for my taste, though I love raw peas and carrots. I know that beets are really nutritious, which is why I try to cook them every so often, I just need to make sure that they aren't the focus of the dish.
-
Tots roasts them and they are not sweet....That is what I hated about my moms growing up was they were sweet like candy. I cant get enough of them now. I like chocolate when I want something sweet, I don't like sweet vegetables.

I kind of get that. I don't care for teriyaki because of the sugar, but don't have a problem with eating meat with sweet bbq sauce on it. Go figure.
But I'm really against sugar in Italian cooking. Especially spaghetti sauce. All the prepared one's and even a lot in restaurants put sugar in theirs. Yuk.

The worst thing about having dinner at a DUmmy's hovel would be the filth.
Would you eat food that had been handled by Fat Che's little homo brother? Or that bald fizzgig lunatic?
DUmmy hippywife was a mainstay of the cooking group, until her husband cut her into pieces and ate her. She posted photos of her kitchen, and it was a grimy mess.
