Dude needs to get back to eating mayonaise straight from the jar.

Just got a 12-lb turkey for $0.49 per lb at Publix in Florida. That’s cheaper than chicken. If I’m feeling splurgy(lazy), I may let Publix prepare me some mashed potatoes, because I know how to add to roasted garlic. This meal is going to take just a little over an hour with a spatchcocked bird and 3 sides. 6 people… Read more

my aunt’s story: just before holiday, she buys a new stove. thanksgiving morning, she puts the turkey in the oven & turns it on. the kids & grandkids arrive later & she’s got pots cooking on the burners. suddenly, somehow, a bird flies into the living room! chaos! everyone is running around trying to get the bird out,… Read more

As a ‘Youngster’, mid-twenties, live in girlfriend (a Swiss national from Zurich) & I (We were both Art Students) cooked duck every Thanksgiving together instead of turkey. Best food choice substitution ever. Coupla years later, after moving to San Francisco from San Antonio, We broke up. Went back to turkey for… Read more

Last week we went out to a small local place where I’ve never had issues before but one of the entrees came out in about fifteen minutes, then the appetizer, then one more entree, all at once, and then my entree 45 minutes later and the waitress didn’t even notice until I pointed it out (and there was no grabbing her… Read more

My mother once forgot to turn on the oven. Just going about the day getting the other stuff ready and all of a sudden I hear (from upstairs in my bedroom) a GASP. Luckily, we had a pork tenderloin in the freezer that could be ready in time, and we are a stuffing (in the bird) AND dressing (outside the bird) family, so… Read more

I dropped a frozen turkey on my toe. On Saturday. I’m limping around the office because of it as we speak. Read more

Sweet potatoes with marshmallows are apparently unclassy here, but they are my singular favorite thing about Thanksgiving, and I will defend them to the death. That said, one year my mother dearest dropped them ALL OVER THE FLOOR and I legit cried. I eat these once a year. I was devastated. In the end, sure, it was… Read more

I’ll leave this here:

I’m one of the most patient, understanding customers on Earth. I’ve waited tables. I get it if you’re in the weeds, if you forgot to put something in, or even if you or the kitchen gets something wrong. Read more

I’ve found that the trick to getting this is to look at the menu in advance online be ready to order an appetizer right when you sit down and ask if they could put that in while “we have a few more minutes to look over the entrees” (of course, if you’re like me at all, you already picked out your entree - or at least… Read more

Not my mistake but a mistake by my old man. My dad, on a fundamental level, does not understand that my fiance has a dairy allergy. Not lactose intolerance, not a slight sensitivity, an actual allergy. Consuming anything more than trace amounts of dairy means she does not have to worry about putting on any… Read more

I set the sweet potato casserole on fire a few years ago, specifically the marshmallows. Read more

Pretty much, I work at a chain restaurant and the idea is that the server is ultimately responsible for their section.

That said we try to make sure the hosts let them know if they’ve been double seated and we coach the servers as a whole to team up to make sure somebody is greeting that table within a minute of them… Read more

That’s just bad business too:  Leaving you sitting there for 10 minutes is missing out on a drink they could be selling you.

I’m a big fan of this trend. I don’t care about calories or carbs, but I do care about alcohol content. I’m a lightweight. I was a big fan of the session beer craze of a few years back, and now that it’s changed into a low-calorie beer trend, I’m still on board. Maybe this will also encourage breweries to sell beer in… Read more

There’s hasn’t been any serious effort since Michelle Obama’s ‘Turnip For What’ video on Vine. Remember Vine, kids?
