On my end, it's two pumpkin pies in the oven, a pumpkin cheesecake in the fridge, and a pecan pie in the works. And of all of that, only part of the cheesecake and one of the pumpkin pies are for Thanksgiving tomorrow. But we're breaking with tradition and going to my aunt's house tomorrow, so we'll be having our usual smaller Thanksgiving dinner with my grandparents on the other side soon, probably soon enough to still have the pies.
Two Pumpkin Pies in the fridge. That's it. Our feast is never that big and I'm just glad to contribute something. I made them on Sunday, and I already know they came out great.
I made another one for a class thing, which caused someone to call out at one point that I make the best pumpkin pie.
I improv cook. Look what materials I have. Look how much time I have. Figure something out. I don't have the motivation to prepare whole complete meals and courses.
I can only cook a little bit, but only for lack of trying and learning, though it's something I'd like to start doing. On the other hand, I am an awesome baker.
I currently find myself questioning my beliefs as well as my sanity. Everything which I hold sacred has now been set free and I must try to regather what I can. I'm speechless really. I made an obviously dated joke about Yakov Smirnoff on twitter yesterday and I just discovered that I triggered a bot to send me one of his jokes. I'm shocked and a little bit frightened here....this guy is STILL around? Someone made him a twitter bot? He's STILL making Soviet jokes? I'm making sure my deadbolts are locked...I'm just... blank.
My parents basically made us prepare meals as soon as we could really.
Plus I did Food Tech at school, so I learned how to build and find recipes, and some techniques for some things.
Mostly cooking is just a careful hand, a good sense of timing, ability to learn and follow instruction, common sense, and spontinaity.
(I'm just suprised to hear from loads of people at uni, of people burning stuff that even a child could prepare easily. It actually irritates me more than it should really)
EDIT: Also, Peanut Brittle is one of the hardest things to make. I tried it once and failed miserably.
You have to get the mix and technique exactly right, or it will turn into something horrid.
I have figured something out. If my family likes it, it's good. If my step-sister keeps eating it, it's really good. Found that out after making stuffed bell peppers while visiting my mom. The whole famn damily loved it, and my step sister is really picky.

But the real question is: can you also double as a discount cleric?
What does Thanksgiving mean? Tonight is Turkey Night so come out for specials all night and trivia. Friday is blues night and also ladies night so there will be Black Friday specials going on. Finally top of Turkey weekend with an old fashioned Saturday night bash.
I'm not so thankful for the 6 hour coach trip I'm to endure starting in about 4 hours. But it'll hopefully be worth it with a good day going around London tomorrow and Top Gear Live on Saturday.
Know what's great? 2 days of this. Tomorrow I order stuff from the States I want...then the day after Christmas, I order stuff from up here I want. Your sales are better though. But hey, some stuff comes out in December I'll want.
I mean, he acts like an attention seeking toddler.
I think he's jealous of my laptop, since everytime I'm on it, he leaps on me for a cuddle.
(Yet when I want a cuddle, he's too busy, or he wants to sleep).
....
Cats are such fickle creatures...
GOD DAMN YOU KOHL'S!! Why must you have such a horrible Black Friday ad play in front of my YouTube videos!?! Now I'm angry at myself for even applying at your store to help you with the Christmas season even more!
On my way to Walmart. Here's hoping I come back in one piece.
Ugh. I have to go there for some work stuff tomorrow. I'm not even going for sales, I do that online. I'm going to be punching people just trying to pick up a couple pairs of pants.
I spent half an hour circling the parking lot and came home. Fuck 10 pm sales. I think I'll see if any movies are left after I hit Best Buy at 3 AM (which I am arriving CRAZY EARLY for).

Damn I love baking.
Then I'm the sexiest man alive.

Also, I most definitely am not sexy.

I'm sorry, I did not mean to imply that we are more polite, I apologise.
*insert string of profanity*
Thanks, I laughed tears.
That's why I've given up.
Talk about a big disappointment.
I'll wait for DOTY edition.
I'm woth the wait.

Great way to spend Thanksgiving:D
And I ate them all.
Or it just feels like it.
This show needs to come back as a kind of Black Friday special event for some stores. It would make things very entertaining.

Also got pwned by a Beijing native at Apples to Apples. I totally though speaking English would put me at an advantage. NOPE.
