/ck/ - Food & Cooking

After grandma passed holidays don't get as big. Usually it's me and my brother cooking at our moms for about 7 to a dozen that show up. Everyone said fuck turkey so we're making a meatloaf. I usually make homemade rolls but since it's gonna be a lot lost cooking in the over I wanna make a bread centerpiece thing like pic related. Moms making mash, green beans are a non issue I just throw it in the slow cooker w bacon and mushrooms and some cream and cream cheese and seasoning and let that go all day. Ne
ephew usually brings some mac, I make cornbread and one of us puts into stuffing, niece comes by with something, and I usually make pies the night before cause I actually love pies and it's really all I want and some maple whiskey.

I don't get y'all that do the whole damn dinner every year yourself. I did the whole shebang on my own once and it fucking sucks ass. I always thought the point of Thanksgiving was a family potluck where everyone brings some shit and the house makes the mains. Usually my aunt and uncle's will stop by for pie and drop off something.
When I was younger and all my uncle's were more active they'd smoke the turkey and smoke a brisket and every aunt made some different side or dessert. That's the way I think it ought to be ideally. Sadly they're mostly all too old for all that and us cousins kinda got our own things.
