I'm cooking for myself again. my mom is dropping off a frozen lil butterball for me but I don't have enough fridge space to thaw it. how do I thaw it in a cooler without giving myself food poisoning? for the last coupe years I've been doing the spatchcock meme, but I always have trouble with cooking it all the way through even though I bought a probe thermometer last year. can I completely debone it like I'm making a galantine but just lay it out flat and roast it?

It'll be different this year. For years I drove my family 130 miles one way through Thanksgiving traffic to cook a traditional dinner for my shut-in Grandma, the only decent relative I had. She died this year (non-Rona), so we'll stay home. My wife loves traditional fare, so turkey off a 5 day brine, roasted root veggies (parsnip, rhubarb . . .), mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce, and homemade pumpkin pie. My oldest daughter makes whipped cream with a lavender honey.

I want to make a chicken potato casserole type thing. Basically a layer of peeled and cut potatoes on the bottom with marinated chicken thighs and broccoli on top.

My question is, can I just pour the chicken with the marinade into the baking dish?

Belive I or not, women tend to have peach fuzz on their upper lip and need to shave. Try under arm where there's little to no hair, or make a fist with your hand and kiss the hole that comes from the hole between thumb and index.

Point being kissing and sex is extremely overhyped and I don't know why people pretend to enjoy it. Life is so fucking boring, there's nothing of value to pursue and the only way people can justify life is when they distract themselves from the true realization that it's all pointless. No I'm not depressed, just have had some time to think about things.

Cranberry sauce is extremely simple to make. You literally just boil cranberries, then add sugar to it. Pumpkin pie cheesecake is a safe bet, I'd say go with the apple pie. Pecan is sweet and it's good to have variety in dessert instead of two sweet options. Apple pie tends to have a hint of tartness, while pecan is all sweet.

I dont care about gay people but it does bother me that they're openly degenerates and their pride parades are open to the public and many children go and see degenerate and that fucks with a developing mind. I hate how sexualized a lot of lgbbq people are, like all they can think about is sex all the time, and how they revolve their entire personality over a fetish. It's disgusting and degenerate. Kids shouldn't be allowed into pride parades if they're going to be walking around with their asses hanging out, dildos flopping around, grown men acting like dogs wearing dog collars. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them? Keep that disgusting shit in the bedroom. Why don't they understand the concept of public decency? And the worst thing of all of this is that they're commended for acting like public degenerates, and anyone who opposes this is a bigot apparently.

What's that got to do with firing up the old smoker and putting on a perfectly brined pork shoulder on the rack to slow cook all day and night and then the next day you shred that barked meat and as you're shredding you get to taste some of the best cuts of the shoulder then you get your homemade bbq sauce and a toasted brioche and slather it on and that juicy, sweet, tangy, spicy, buttery, soft, and moist bite... That bite... It's a thing of beauty. So don't let nobody tell you them bbq people are wrong. bbq is the spirit of a people.

I dont really care for sex, and have you ever seen pride videos? Half naked men walking around with their ass cheeks hanging out. Saw a video with a guy walking around with his ass revealed and half a dildo shoved into his rectum. And the video also shows kids there. I dont think these pride parades are a good look for gay people. No one really condones the concept or idea of public sex. In those videos it also speaks about how the gay people think children should be there, but as someone who was introduced to porn at a very young age and it messing with me to the extremes as a growing kid; it infuriates me that they're trying to get kids involved in these parades. Then you have these guys wearing a dog mask with a collar acting like a dog while another man walks him. It's all sorts of rucked up. Why take pride in degeneracy, or your fetish? It's fucking shallow and makes me genuinely wonder how they think kids should be seeing this shit. It's mind boggling.

I think their intention is just to make kids less shocked at later ages that this stuff exists in the world. While I think kids are probably shielded from the not so good parts of this world I dunno if we can stop them from seeing everything at a young age.

kids these days probably are already aware of stuff like that existing just from being online. I think the bigger thing that would annoy someone is a third person directly, someone that you can physically see, influencing their child instead of an "inanimate" object that would be a person online. There is not a real way to take it out on a person online.

I dont think its right to have a kid physically see these things. It's one thing to talk to them about the concept or idea of gay people (something I don't condone) rather than taking them to a parade so they can see shit like naked men, dildos and people openly enacting their fetishes. Yea kids talk about sex at a certain age, but that discussion is nothing like physically seeing it in front of you. I dont think it's good for a young developing mind to be publicly exposed to such degeneracy. It's the equivalent to taking a child to a strip club basically. Gay people need to know when to keep their sexual degrneracy within the confines of their own privacy, rather than thinking everyone needs to accept them.

Butter will offer much better flavor, shortening or lard will offer a crispier texture due to being pure fat.

The key with butter is to make cubes, and flatten them with your fingers, and focus on expanding the surface area of every possible butter chunk to be as flat and wide as possible for the flakiest crust.

>cider vinegar

I use buttermilk as the liquid for my pie doughs - only buttermilk, and a little sugar (1 tbsp) in the dough. I find cider vinegar has a strong taste.

Also - chill your crust thoroughly - freezer if need be and short on time - before rolling it out.

If you have time to rest the crust rolled out - great - but I think this step is more skippable.

Anyways I am reducing a roasted chicken wing and beef knuckle bone stock I am making.

It will be the basis for the stuffing and also to enrich the gravy.

Also planning on making a sour cherry cheesecake. I got graham crackers and I have pitted sour cherries in my freezer.

[Anonymous No.17007997]

>>17007345
Take 2-3 sticks of butter, unwrap them, place them on a cutting board.

Cut them lengthwise, flip them 90 degrees, and cut them lengthwise again so you have 4 long strips of butter per stick now.

Then cut them widthwise into 1/2-1in cubes.

Put the cubes in a bowl. Add some flour, 2 or a little more cups - this isn't exact and it doesn't matter much.

You also want a small pinch of salt, and a larger pinch of sugar.

Start smashing each butter cube with your fingers, get your thumbs in there.

You want wide, flat flakes to get a flaky dough. Try to smash all the cubes, and then make each butter chunk into smaller flakes, making sure they are coated in flour as you do this. When the butter is mostly flattened and no large chunks remain, start pouring in a bit of buttermilk, slowly, and mix it with your hands until a ball just forms. Ok to err on the side of too moist here - you will chill the dough and add more flour when you roll it out.

Chill the dough thoroughly - 2 hours in fridge - 1 hour freezer.

Roll it out and do your thing!
