    Come to think of it, I could really go from some venison steak tomorrow. Hell, I would take venison jerky at this point.

    And I don't even deer hunt (a rarity in this state).

    yeah, sadly here in Georgia turkey hunting season is in the spring. Maybe you could have a freshly killed turkey for Easter!

    I love venison jerky. If I bag one this season, I'll get some jerky made.

    If I had accelerated this morning instead of braking, I could have some venison right now.

    and it is shocking that somebody doesn't know what creme brulee is? :drama: Sorry, I've never seen it on a menu, I've never heard anyone in my peer group say "damn! That fucking creme brulee I had last night was fucking awesome!" Perhaps you enlightened, educated, sophisticated wordforge members can share your vast culinary knowledge with me. :hail:

    It does occur to me from time to time that stuffing is possibly the greatest of all prepared foods. Why do we only eat it at Thanksgiving?

    disagree - stuffing is just tiny, soggy salad croutons IMO.

    Seriously, I could be consuming creme brulee on a regular basis and not even know it. :shrug:
    The name/word "creme brulee" sound like some pretentious, hipster, Euro thing - thus I am thankfully distanced from it. :yes:

    I've never had it, but I've certainly heard of it. Like Baked Alaska or Beef Wellington. I have had escargot. It was gross. :yuck:

    I've finished making the potato salad (mustard style).

    Now comes the job of protecting it overnight from potato poachers. It might look like a lot, but once it hits the table, I expect it to survive approximately 5 minutes.

    Crème brûlée is a custard topped with hard/crunchy caramel.

    It's served at many casual/family/chain restaurants around here.

    Nothing particularly fancy about it unless 7-11 burritos are your idea of fine dining.

    another pro tip. Don't "stuff" the bird. The only thing that needs to go in the turkey is aromatics like cut up oranges and cut up but unskinned onions.

    Growing up, the only dressing I ever had was the stuff that my grandmas and aunts used to make for family gatherings. Tasty, but them being country folk, it was a little...bland.

    Twenty years ago I got invited to a coworker's house for Thanksgiving dinner and she made her Italian father's dressing. Sausage, oysters, all kinds of great stuff in it. :drool:

    Spoiled me for eating anyone else's dressing, no matter how good.

    Fudge!

    My mom decided to outsource this year and I got desserts. Hopefully 4 pies and a double batch of fudge is enough. I think there will be over 30 people this year.

    Aren’t dressing and stuffing the same thing? I thought it was just a regional dialect variation. :unsure:

    Dressing is cornbread and chicken (or turkey if you’re a sadist). Stuffing is... old white bread?

    Ah, cornbread… ok. They have a box mix of that kind too.

    Stuffing is basically a vehicle to deliver fat and salt to the body. What’s not to love?
