I love the holidays because I get lots of fudge and I LOVE chicken and dumplings.

Full meal at noon: Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans, gravy. Followed by beer and a nap in front of the TV while football is on.
Full meal at 6:00: Same as above, but swap beer for wine.
9:00: Fall into a food induced coma.


I hope I can break 3000 cals with today's meal.

My favorite meal is, in fact, thanksgiving dinner. Well, the bird, the stuffing and the gravy. I can eat it for weeks and never ever get tired of it.
And we are talking the best gravy too. The kind that gives cholesterol..cholesterol. I dont care about fucking calories and dieting when this shit is in the kitchen. Sometimes you have to rise above your morals...
Besides being healthy...how much fat & protein is in the turkey (not including gravy or stuffing, just the bird)?

I'm making:
Turkey
Chicken Sausage and Cranberry Stuffing
Gravy
Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes
Green Bean Almondine
Roasted Onions
Sauteed Spinach with perl onions
Corn
Half Pistachio Half Chocolate Torte
Homemade apple pie
The gravy really isn't that bad as far as fat is concerned. I use only a small amount of the rendered fat from the bird drippings to make it. Otherwise it's stock, veggies, giblets (and these are pulled out), seasoning and flour. And, it freaking ROCKS!
I can't wait! Only 27 hours of cooking and slavingthen TOUCHDOWN!

Strangely, we don't eat Turkey anymore for thanksgiving... we prefer steak over chicken (on special occations), and in this case we have a $130 prime rib for 5 people. Easily going to gain 3 pounds in the next few days.. I REFUSE to go back to college until I eat the leftovers in entirety. man on a mission


Turkey, rice, gravy, peas w/ mayo, buttered steamed carrots, corn on the cob, sushi, sashimi, tonkatsu sauce for my turkey & rice, maybe some frozen mochi treats, Ice cream and Apple Pie, Pumpkin Cheesecake, wine, beer, cocktails or POG...

not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear

no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
