Narf!

Narf!

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

Double Narf!

[pocketnaomi.livejournal.com]

Narf? Are you sure?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Narf! With special home-made Poit! sauce.

You forgot the squash on your list. And the apple pie. And WINE. :D

[gilana]

and GRAVY! The rest of the food is mostly there so you have something to pour gravy on.

[llennhoff.livejournal.com]

I might have picked the mashed potatoes if there was gravy, but probably I'd just pour it over the stuffing anyway.

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. GRAVY. I ony get the turkey so I can put gravy on it!

[malkaesther.livejournal.com]

Me too. Everything at thanksgiving except the pie are simply to help with gravy delivery to the mouth as people look at you funny if you drink the gravy.

[aunt-becca.livejournal.com]

my thoughts exactly!! I put gravy on cranberry sauce. If I could make a gravy cocktail I would.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Squash, yes. Apple pie's more of a pain to make from scratch than the pumpkin (and in my household the pumpkin's *way* more popular). And no wine for me. ::is sad:: ::likes wine like whoa, alas, wine does not like me::

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

Yes, Beth is the same way. No wine for her either. Very sad. :(

However... Squash!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Acorn? Butternut? What's your preferred?

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

Butternut. With a little cinnamon and nutmeg. Yum. :)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Oh, yum.

Now I'm thinking of adding squash to the menu...

::sigh::

Menu's already crowded.

(this is Shabbat dinner, since we're out for Thanksgiving dinner)

Forget the pie! Leora made pumpkin fritters last night. They were the greatest things ever. Sprinkle 'em with a little powdered sugar, and they'd be like little pumpkin donuts, and no one will ever eat pumpkin pie again!

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

O.O

Pumpkin fritters??

I'm coming to your house.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Ooh, cool. I have a recipe somewhere for pumpkin fritters. I should think about making them some time...

I have a loaf of pumpkin bread (and a couple of as-yet-uneaten pumpkin muffins) in my fridge from my baking on Thursday night. I should serve it with all the rest of the stuff, shouldn't I?

hyphens are an abomination on the English language.

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

You know, I never used to think that way, but you have won me over. LOL

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Sometimes hyphens are necessary, in my view, to clarify an otherwise ambiguous clause, but, yeah -- for the most part, I'm not fond of hyphens.

[beckyfeld.livejournal.com]

See... and there you gave in to TWO of them (yes, I KNOW it's really an m-dash).

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yet the British use them way more than we do, it seems.

[byrne.livejournal.com]

Not in my experience. Or maybe it's just Canadians that don't use them.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I think it's the Canadians who don't use them. :-)

[crwilley.livejournal.com]

Cranberry sauce is a go with me only if it's the whole-berry type, not the can-shaped lump of red jelly.

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

Pardon me, I'm bored at work and commenting randomly. ;-)

My partner makes a cranberry/apple sauce that is AMAZING. I'll never eat plain cranberry again. Heh.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I was wondering why you were all commenty today (which is lovely, by the way).

I hate the canned stuff; I eat only the home made stuff.

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

No one is in the office except those of us poor slobs that don't have any vacation days left. ;-)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Cranberry-apricot chutney, home made. Yummmmm. :-)

I don't like the canned stuff at all.

[crwilley.livejournal.com]

...and now I'm craving a cranberry-orange relish that my mom used to make...

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Amen!!!

[530nm330hz.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm... Thanks-giving dinner. :-)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

That would make me think that, perhaps, the dinner is giving thanks. It is a thanks-giving dinner.

No candied yams?

[lyonessnyc.livejournal.com]

Per Chicago (well, my memory of Chicago), no hyphens after -ly, and yes to the hyphen because "fifth-largest" becomes a compound.

Re: No candied yams?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I don't have a candied yam recipe, thus no candied yams.

And I think you're right about Chicago.

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

Two words: FOOD COMA!

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

And to you, as well, and your lovely Missus!

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

i probably wouldn't use hyphens in either case, but that's a personal preference and i always think i should.

and apple pie is not always a pain in the ass to make! well, if you don't count peeling and coring and slicing all the apples.... not the most fun you can have with your clothes on. but after that it's easy. mmm, pie....

[aunt-becca.livejournal.com]

whenever the question of whether to serve pumpkin bread arises, the answer is always YES! Same with gravy. I plan on being in some sort of turkey related come for the next few days.
