Your Thanksgiving Dinner

[Jaebius]

Are Thanksgiving plans coming together for you.

Not sure what day yet or who all will be here. Decided to go with pumpkin pie instead of cheesecake, plus a cake as we will be celebrating my oldest son's birthday as well.

Hey, wow, thanks for asking. To tell you the truth, I haven't really given it much thought this year. Hmm... I just checked Copilot and I see that it's on 2410.14. I'm so happy you mentioned it! Now I have time to plan something. I have a few English classes on that day, so for sure I'll be telling my students about it. Maybe I'll hit Outback Steakhouse. There's one fairly close to me.

Yes! I love pumpkin pie! It's a traditional favorite and always what we had at home. With lots of creamy-dreamy whipped cream on top of it. And Mom always used the real whipped cream too. Happy birthday to your son

We're having a simple dinner for five or six on Monday. Ham, scalloped potatoes no cow dairy, beets, brussels, salad, two pies plus ice cream for dessert.

 

[JayneWonders]

Sounds awesome to me!

 

[JayneWonders]

Do you roast or boil your beets, @BetteTheRed

 

[BetteTheRed]

Roast.

 

[BetteTheRed]

And fecking crescent rolls. *winces*

 

[JayneWonders]

Not your favourite?

 

[BetteTheRed]

Not your favourite?

No, I used to make my own potato dinner rolls. The big guy, wyrdly (childhood tastes and all that), prefers crescent rolls. Less work for me. Still have to make pies and scalloped potatoes, etc., from scratch, so it's not like I'm short of work.

St. Hubert.

St. Hubert.

It's good, it's good. I went there a couple of times when I used to live in Canada. Really, though, I always preferred Swiss Chalet. It was all about the sauce. What did you have at St H?

For my Dinner this year, I decided on a whim to go to Outback after work. I thought it might have a good chicken dinner. I've had chicken there in the past. But this time round there was no chicken on the menu.

So, I set a brand spanking new tradition for myself of Brown Bread with Butter, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Garlic Steak, Baked Potato with Cheese and Butter, Coffee, Chocolate Brownies. Yum yum yum

I had the rotisserie leg quarter. B had the breast quarter.

They both sound amazing! I just woke up and am hungry.

Do you prefer St. Hubert to Swiss Chalet?

 

[jimkenney12]

I prefer Swiss Chalet.

 

[Waterfall]

I find Swiss Chalet chicken and sauce sooooo salty.

Okay. Meanwhile, though, actually, the sauce is something from back in Canada that I really sometimes crave. Korea's got lots of amazing chicken restaurants, both Korean and American, but there's nothing here like the taste of Swiss Chalet

I probably notice it more because I use minimal salt now.

 

[JayneWonders]

We also use very little salt.

My brother-in-law picks up the salt shaker before he even tastes food at my table.

 

[Luce NDs]

Salts are deadly to some but in a small portion of the population there is a benefit ... I won't elaborate as it is Jae's thread and he loves simple fishing ... all under the bridge ... part of the RO Syndrome!

Had a step-grandfather who used to the same thing. I found it kinda' strange, but I was just a kid so I never really said anything about it. There are some things in my mind that've just gotta' have salt. Popcorn comes immediately to mind. And corn on the cob

 

[paradox3]

Hard boiled eggs, too.
