Friendsgiving

[xp_wildchild]

A'ight, we're gonna do this and we're calling it Friendsgiving and if you wanna put in complaints I'll make a turkey-shaped complaints box you can write an essay about the fucked history of the holiday and then enjoy good food and the joys of everyone's presence like totally guilt-free.

It will not be an artistic box.

As like, usual, there will be turkey. There will probably be a lot of turkey, because it's turkey season.

Please sign up for sides. There's a legit real sign up sheet taped to the fridge, but I will accept it signups up in the form of text messages or comments here. If you can't cook won't cook idgaf show up anyway I like throwing food parties.

I'll bring appropriately themed donuts!

(because I can not cook and donuts are never wrong)

[xp_wildchild]

I am so annoyed that Jones Soda doesn't do the thanksgiving food themed ones anymore because I'd say get those AND the Count's thanksgiving pack

[xp_phoenix]

I'll bring another dessert: Red Hot Caramel Apple Crumble Pie.

And for a savory side, macaroni and cheese.

[xp_wildchild]

Red hot like those little cinnamon candies? Shit, that's going to be amazing.

[xp_emplate]

Hm. Host's choice: roasted carrots and chickpeas, or spicy acorn squash. Both with feta, of course.

I shall not be candying yams. That's not what a squash is for.

[xp_wildchild]

I mean I don't do spicy and I kinda want to devour those carrots because those sound great.

[xp_emplate]

As you wish.

However, know that my attendance is conditional. I am a man of class, and as such I refuse to exist within the same space as "canned cranberry sauce".

[xp_wildchild]

I will eat my can of shame in the dark as intended

[xp_talon]

I just learned how to make Mac and Cheese. Should I bring that? And yes, it is edible. Also, could we not make things too onion-y. It stings my nose and eyes.

[xp_spectrum]

I'll be going to my grandparents' in Louisiana for the usual giant family thing, but I'll leave a peach cobbler made from my grandma's recipe (the one I made for that Thanksgiving when my dad joined us and which disappeared like magic) for Pixie to bring.

[xp_catseye]

You can have my presence.

My eternally hungry presence.

[xp_echo]

You better save me some turkey jerky. I’m gonna be working through this whole damn month.

(I may wear a silly hat if it’s provided)

[xp_phoenix]

Have you ever had it? Don't knock it until you've tried it.

[xp_bright]

Do random blow ins from the colonies get to eat too?

[xp_wildchild]

The baked one with the bread crumbs? Hell yeah, bring that.

So the way the food allergies work is we just label everything. Sharon can't do onions either (icr if liam can) so we'll note anything that's oniony for you.

[xp_wildchild]

oh damn yes. Peach cobbler is bomb.

[xp_wildchild]

You and Laura and Liam are gonna help me procure turkeys. If we get more than 4 you can just eat one right out in the woods.

[xp_wildchild]

YOU HAVE THE DAY OFF IT'S A FEDERAL HOLIDAY.

[xp_wildchild]

-we- are the colonies and why the hell would
did you not see marius offering me good carrorts
we were a colony before you were
you were here last year for this
yes

[xp_echo]

Officially! Mostly I’m just making sure I’m available if any of my kids need me.

I still demand turkey jerky.

[xp_bright]

Yeah, but you had an entire thing with ‘get off my lawn’ and throwing tea at people and everything.

So you’re not technically the colonies. They took you off the family picture and never invite you to their Commonwealth Games and everything.

(Should I bring food? )

[xp_daytripper]

(Should I bring food? )

Since this whole post is about what people can bring food-wise, yes, Em, bring food. Talk to Marius about possible options from the colonies. ;)

@ Kyle - since the only thing I can cook with any chance of it being edible is a British breakfast fry up, I'll cheat and do a run on the day for anything that's been missed. Up to and including any foreign tidbits people want.

[xp_catseye]

Only four?

I can get four turkeys on my own. I will match the turkeys of all three of you together.

I still claim the surplus.

Ask and you shall receive...

[xp_spectrum]

One silly hat on order. You're welcome. I won't be there, but I demand pictures.

[xp_wildchild]

Dude, that'd be perfect. There's always something we forget and it's usually cups. Last time I legit wrote RED SOLO CUPS on my whiteboard and still forgot.

Wouldn't say no to you and your scary ladyfriend bringing wine too ;)

[xp_wildchild]

How many turkeys have you ever caught before?

[xp_catseye]

So many. Dozens. Hundreds, probably.

I am the best at hunting.

[xp_talon]

You can bake it? With bread crumbs? What kind of monstrosity would put bread crumbs on already delicious Mac and Cheese?

[xp_cypher]

I'm making a crapton of mashed potatoes.

(I know Matt is gonna drag me to his dads' as well, but I gotchu for potat)

[xp_wildchild]

Oh hold on we're gonna fix this problem, Terry just made The Face, and you are now invited to come over so I can show you how to make mac and cheese correctly.

[xp_wildchild]

Oh, cool, you're our expert for cleaning them then. You can show Laura and Liam how.

[xp_wildchild]

hell yes. Too many potato. Need that post thanksgiving potato coma where I get to sleep off too many potato and someone else does the dishes.

[xp_catseye]

If you "can't" eat something that hasn't been cleaned and dressed, that's a personal problem. Just pull the feathers off with your mouth like the rest of us.

[xp_wildchild]

Oh you don't know how, okay, I get it. It's fine, I can show you.

[xp_madin]

Back when I was with the Brotherhood, one time Toad showed up to our camp in the bush with a Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm not going to make the weird green beans, onion rings and mushroom soup dish ‐ honestly, i thought that was just proof he's a psychopath for years but other people also make it - but I will bring the sweet potato and marshmallows dessert. That shit is good
