ll is fine. Needs to go to the stove to be heated up. I bring it to stove and set it down. Said it's on the stove, do it how you want.
Don't know who turned the burner on hi, or how long it was until it got noticed, but eventually mom smelled something burning.
So basically you set a pot on a hot stove like an idiot and now you're pretending like it was some mystery Thanksgiving ghost and not you that ruined dinner.

Last night was a birthday party/pre Thanksgiving celebrations for my BIL’s stepfather, probably around 15 people in attendance.
I’ve been around his stepfather maybe 4 times in 10 years. He’s a North Georgia redneck, with a heart of gold that grew up during segregation, can’t read, was told he likes cars and doesn’t like minorities. Dude had maybe spoken 4 sentences to me in all of our meetings. I thought he was a mute, honestly. Cool no sweat off my sack.
Last years birthday get together he said, he would rather a USA hat and a carton of cigs for his birthday, when asked if he had a good time. I remembered this. So I obliged this year, with that exact combo.
Everyone looked at me like I was an idiot for this gift, turns out dude has lung cancer.

Did a ham and a turkey on the smoker between 225 and 250. Reached internal temperature 2 hours earlier than it should considering roughly 30 minutes per pound. It looks beautiful and done. Hopefully it turns out to be good. Been frying for the last 5 years but wife wanted smoked this year.

I mean, at some point you have to start leaning into this! Get the wife and friend on board. Simple hugs that last a little long, subtle back scratches, locked eye contact.

Woke up to son pissing bed at 1:30. Got in bed with me and kicked the shite out of me all night. SO and daughter on the couch. I didn't ask any questions. Daughter crying hysterically saying she is sick.
SO out of nowhere asks me to get some constipation medicine for son on a day when everything is closed.

This story about your sick kids would be perfect for this thread if you included the fact that they're in their 30"s.

My ultra liberal sister (radicalized when she was a freshman at Ole Miss) recently underwent IVF and her also liberal husband got help from my parents to pay for it (but only a couple people in the family know who funded it). They hate Trump, but we avoid talking politics. She is due in January…mom has begged we keep politics off the table but my dad who is borderline dementia DGAF because he’s 82 and he either forgets to not ask about what everyone thinks about the election or does it intentionally (probably the latter).
Anywho, I’ve got a zinger for them this year if they step out of line and will nuke em with the “well, Trump wants the government to pay for IVF…would you take Nazi money for that type of procedure?”

Yep. Should have been a 6 hour cook and was done in like 3 and a half. Left it on for another 30 minutes just to be safe. Even put another probe in the other side and both read 168. It is what it is.

When I got married, shite didn’t change. We always had to travel out of town because we didn’t have kids. Our holiday season was spent driving 4 hours to see my side of the family, then 2 more to see her family, then finally 2 more back home.
See that's the difference. After growing up hating the holidays that were essentially one dressed up, stressful mandatory gathering after the other I said frick that. I don't mind Thanksgiving w the inlaws and actually enjoy it... it's casual small and low key... we pop in and out and enjoy the land throughout the day.
Christmas we'll do Christmas eve for a bit and I've put a hard no on Christmas day...we don't go anywhere and noone comes over. My son enjoys his toys, us and his time comfy at home....like I never got to.
frick the guilt trip holiday obligation crowd

damn this reminds me of a gal I met while in my early days of long haul driving. Could barely read, never used utensils when eating, and wore inappropriately few clothes (hence why I knew her). Sometimes I wonder what her story was, she was genuinely like half-animal, like she had been raised by a dog or something. Weird shite.

Well I guess I have a contribution here:
I think being from Louisiana where it’s common for men to cook has screwed me over a bit. I don’t mind cooking, but it certainly has allowed my wife to not develop the skills and time management for preparing food. Considering her general time management is already laughably bad, I can’t help but marvel at the sequence of events occurring this morning.
She decided she wanted to change up her green bean recipe for thanksgiving. That’s fine. I hope it’s delicious.
But instead of starting the food prep at a reasonable time for us to get to our destination by 11:30am, which we said was our arrival time, she is STILL looking at recipes at 9:50.
I brought up that we’re not going to make it by 11:30, and somehow, that’s my fault? Or at least I’m causing her to “feel” bad about it. I’m just saying that we should get started if we’re going to make it.
Well, between you all and me, she SHOULD feel bad about it. How hard is it to see that a recipe that requires chopping, sautéing, blanching, and baking is going to take longer than the hour long cook time stated on the website?
I offered to help chop. Noooo. She says: “everyone knows you as the good cook and I want this to be what I make.”
Not to mention if I offer any suggestions when helping her cook, she’ll get upset because I’m being mean. “Hey I know the recipe says to put the onion and garlic in together, but I think the garlic will burn.” “You always do this!” (Puts the onion and garlic in together and gets upset that the garlic is bitter).
I mean, who decides to vacuum the house when we’re preparing thanksgiving sides, getting kids ready, and on a schedule to get somewhere? Would I bring this up to her? Absolutely not.
As we age, I do wonder if menopause will be a blessing. Cause this PMS hitting at this moment is sending me out.
