FuglyDuck, to cooking in [Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely. Also, organization, so you have everything where it needs to be.

The other secret is to only invite people you like. Makes it easier to go through all the work.

the dark meat is great for chicken and dumplings. I’ll usually break it down because it’s about $5/pound here. (verse like $10 for 2 breasts…) so if you’re not needing the full bird for something, you can always re-freeze whatever you’re holding. And the chicken and dumplings are great for family meals. you can make most of it ahead of time, reheat and drop the dumplings when the family is ready to go.

It is a lot. but, the prep is spread out over several days, so there’s that. makes things manageable.

so, briefly, Uno… you divvy out a stack of cards. each card has a number value and a color (or are wild here.), or do something (reverse play order, and stuf.) The card being played means the next person has to pick up 4 cards. the goal is to drop all your cards.

the “joke” is, she killed him for that. I don’t particularly find jokes about domestic violence funny.

domestic violence over an Uno card game. (she killed him for dropping 2x +4 wilds.)

I don’t really get it either.

While I am smoking a medium bird, I’m also doing smoke hams (one for my diner one for the rest of my parents cuz we’re with the in-laws this year,)

It’s not nearly as much additional work being smoked, mind.

Also adding a mushroom stew for the veg head.

The ham will probably disappear and most the chicken goes into turkey sandwiches tomorrow/leftovers to take home.

I did think about doing a capon (castrated rooster,) which is somewhere between chicken and turkey in gaminess

(Edit to add, we’re planning on 10 adults plus their minions,)

incidentally, I noticed that the doom comics were issued in '96 when I was double checking my facts. It’s maybe annoying that I’m old enough to remember sneaking a copy of it

I suppose this depends entirely on your expectations?

Uhm. Doom was originally released in 1993. 30 years ago. Dragon age Origins was released in 2009. 14 years ago.

So…
Not quite. got a couple years before that’s true.

FWIW, the first game I beat was the OG legend of zelda. I was 7, it was my dad’s game and i wasn’t supposed to be playing it for some reason. I got caught when my dad was strugling on the puzzles in the water temple and I gave some helpful advice… (“We won’t tell mom about this. now where did you say I go?”)

the first PC game I got heavily into was Age of Empires, though, a lot of my friends played starcraft, and insisted it was better than AoE; so I played one game with them. (They were all so very patronizing… so I let them be patronizing and then turned my ally to hostile and carpet-nuked the entire map.) (yeah. I went back to AoE after that, lol.)

Dragon age is…. Old?

Origins was released in ‘09. So was windows 7.

Just because it installed, doesn’t mean it doesn’t run.

Or doesn’t come with 50x “are you sure” prompts

possibly booth. WoW was released in '04.

For those wondering, The game would use a shift cipher on chat. when chatting between factions, you wouldn’t be able to read it. Well. except we were nerds and they used the same shift cipher. for horde players saying LOL, alliance players would see KEK. so addons existed that could ‘translate’ back and forth.

The reasoning was that cross-faction, eh ‘comunication’ was mostly taunting and shit.

Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.

Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”

Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.

So, if you happen to know them… I have a question.

How doped up on hormones are they? Like, maybe they’re just having the time of their life, Brain riding high on dopamine or whatever butterfly’s have for pleasure, and they don’t even realize what’s going on.

Then, when they pop out and realize what they’ve been doing run off to the shower trying not to think about it

So… it’s more a stew than a soup?

….in a pod?
