Which state are they from? How is there no flavor in Southern cooking?

Pie recipes please! I’ll share my favorite turkey hack, if you really want to blow their minds, occasionally, I will do a turkey where you layer prosciutto under the skin and stuff it with lemon and garlic. When roasting the prosciutto fuzzes with the turkey skin to make the most sinfully delicious thing.

The Guardian website has a recipe today for pumpkin cake with ginger icing.

This is a good suggestion.

What’s your turkey cooking secret?

I mean those things are good things for anyone to do, but you can’t really atone for doing bad things to people beyond apologies and self-education. Those things don’t prove anything.

I love the New York Times cooking section!

I’m making a fennel and apple salad to lighten up the meal. (Recipe is in the NYTimes cooking section, which is fantastic, by the way.) I’ll also do the mashed potatoes, because I love them with my whole heart, but basically I’ll just spend the day cooking with my mom, doing whatever needs doing, and enjoying it…

Great idea! Do you have a favorite recipe?

I’m working on Thanksgiving but I am going to make a pumpkin cream cheese bread to take to my mom’s house.

Haha, this is me except with mashed potatoes. Every year: “We have 12 people coming, so we need about 30 potatoes. That sound right to everyone? No? You guys are weird.”

I’m partial to ‘Panda,’ but that’s just me.

I don’t think that’s weird at all! Invite his ass over.

I too do the whole spread and outsource desserts, my dad always tries to help (he is a very good cook, but he prefers my cooking) but wanders off after about 10 minutes. It started with the year he flew back from Paris on the Wednesday before and was all you got this right? (It was the best dinner to date, the cheese…

I’ve been waiting for someone to post a pet thread but I’m too impatient ;p 

Hi, Jezebelles (and beaux)!

Oh man so...I am flying out to my hometown in upstate NY on Tuesday to help my mom pack up and move to come live with my husband and I in the Chicago area. Like...she’s actually moving into our house, at least for the time being. She has mental health issues - major depression which seems largely resistant to…

I work for a psych center with OMH and provisional positions aren’t necessarily common but they do happen. An offer for a provisional position doesn’t really have anything to do with your part in the hiring process (it’s not indicative that something is wrong), but I would advise you to tread lightly. OMH is going…

I’m roasting a turkey breast with thyme, rosemary, sage, and a whole lot of butter (it’s just the 4 of us). I’m also making roasted vegetables and a bacon and mushroom risotto. For dessert, we’ll make some s’mores in the fire pit. It’ll be simple.

I am so sorry this is happening to you both. I have know idea how to go through this so I can’t offer help.
