I Fucking Love Thanksgiving

• As a person who experiences frequent bouts of hangry-ness, I thank you for introducing me to horngry.

• You're overheating, Laussade, so I'm doing this for your own good: Candy-Cornbread stuffing. There. I said it.

• That's racist!

• Thanks Troy for your sensibilities!

• I bet Alice's parents are proud of her!  It makes their investment in her education all worht while!

• At last a response without the "F" word or variations of it.  I will confess that I used that word in desparation or anger but not in a public domain such as this.  Educational institutions have labored for hundreds, if not thousands of years to teach humanity civil ways to speak, write and in general communicate.  Thanks for expressing yourself in a civil manner.

• Let me know brotha, I'll meet ya over on the Eastside..

• How can it be Thanksgiving without some sort of melodramatic shit storm family argument?  

• Seriously, I like the ham more than the turkey. With pineapple, right? Give those rolls more to sop up.

• That's awesome, except... I try not to break the turkey seal, if you know what I mean, until the very day. I go off turkey leftovers quickly enough already.

• Relish tray, devilled eggs, and cherry jell-o (hopefully with bananas in it) are all planned here in addition to almost everything else Alice mentioned (don't think we're doing the mashed potatoes this time). All of these side things were on the menu every year when grandma and grandpa were around, and so the menu is somewhat set -- my sis and I actually had a phone call yesterday to confirm all this. Oh, but our relish tray now only has olives and cheese chunks and celery with pimento cheese (I hope; I'd better check). It used to have beets, but apparently my dad and I are the only ones who eat those. And in deference to my sister, no sweet potato anything! (Sigh)

• I don't know what I love more - your fucking potty mouth or Thanksgiving.

• I almost had a stepmother-in-law who put black caviar all over the cream cheese bar.

• wait a minute.  please explain boiling cranberries three days in advance and then "infusing them kumquat essence?" My grandmother does the cranberries and I don't think I like what you are saying about her and her essence.

• oh and trust me, you wouldnt need anything to go with the povitca.  Iffin the mother brings enough, ill ship one out your way to try.  If not ill order some for myself and get it to you

• I have some very polish family members in KC, they grew up in a neighborhood called strawberry hill.  There is a family owned meat market called Krisman's House of Sausage where they make their own sausage on site.  I get the best polish kielbasa from there.  what ever they do to flavor the meat before they roll it is gives it some of the best flavor.  There is nothing like it a grocery store.

• Never seen anything like that Merk..but I'd have a half a loaf with some butter and maybe a little cinnamon sprinkled on top of it..

• Holy shit!  The best thing, besides Randy White, to ever come out of Delaware, the Bobbie from Capriotti's!

• Where I come from, Northeastern Ohio, we call that Kolache. Yum...

• chics food and cursing.  this muhfuking awesome. I love the homemade povitica my great aunt used to make for thanksgiving, but now I settle for this, a very very close taste to my great aunts.  Try it, and youll be hooked.  thank goodness my mother is bringing me 3 loaves from KC this week! http://www.povitica.com/

• Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy. Absolute FOOD HEAVEN. About two weeks before Thanksgiving I start craving it so bad I can hardly stand it. I can't eat cranberry sauce any more because I'm diabetic but I always buy it for my husband and lick the spoon. I make sugar-free pumpkin pie. This is the best holiday of the year.

• Im enjoying just reading this thread not only for the fact the thanksgiving sandwich is awesome, but  the always-fun potty diatribes of one Alice Laussade. She makes food criticism a talking sport...

• HEB has a spiral cut ham with somekind of Pecan bourbon glaze..if'n you were to like that kind of thing..I'll write a report.

• I bequeath it to you to supplement your Observer salary. But remember, a wise man once said, Mo' Money = Mo' Problems.

• I'm out on the Thanksgiving porn orgy...I likey less meat in my film viewing. POW!

• You been around here much? Alice used to be a sailor.

• Melikeys gals that curse..makes my time with Mrs.. broken groin just fly by...keep it up Alice!

• I'm good for one epiphany a year. I was running out of time too, just like me to procrastinate.

• Horngry=Genius..

• Plush handy turkeys still available: http://www.etsy.com/listing/84516096/sale-sale-handy-plaid-plush-decorative

• I normally make turkey stock with the carcass, and a little left over white wine, so the turkey goodness is remembered throughout the next several months.  

• I'm excited for all that shit. You know this. Yay dinner rolls. Yay smoked cranberry sauce. Make it. I'll eat it.  Does anyone hold an official Thanksgiving Competitive Eating competition? (I mean, beyond just me vs. me every Thanksgiving.)

• Hey, there's a point during even a normal working day that you realize you're just not going to get any more shit done...today that point will be earlier.  Especially now that the caterer has almost finished setting up and it's only 11:09. Yep, will be a long afternoon. 

• Yeah, she left out the dinner rolls. My favorite are the Butter Krust ones. You have to cook them for 8-10 mins. and they come out perfect.

• employee productivity will be at -50% this afternoon. We did ours last week and we were worthless after that. I fell asleep at my desk.

• Two minor comments.  There was no mention of fresh or smoked pork products.  Long live the fresh ham, at least til TG Day.  And the sandwich bread in the photo is not white bread.

• She only wrote "fucking,"  Not like there was a Thanksgiving porn orgy link in the article.

• We need to make "I'm so horngry for Thanksgiving right now" t-shirts. Monetize that shit.

• Please use it. I've never seen it before so I don't know that I copied it from anywhere, but a damn good word.

• "Horngry" needs to be trademarked by you before I steal it and trademark it.

• Anyone else remember "the relish tray"?  Does anyone still do that?  God, I hated the site of that tray being passed.  Effing radishes?  Seriously?  Canned black olives that tasted like metal, celery and carrot sticks.  It pisses me off just to think about it!  Bring on the complex carbs dammit!

• Im with ya.

• A vendor is providing Thanksgving lunch for my company today.  The tables are set up with tablecloths in the lobby.  I almost spontaneously cartwheeled with joy.  It's like a practice run for Thursday. 

• I have set out a fainting couch should you feel a spell of the vapours coming on.

• My family always has a cran-cherry jello monstrosity (made in a bundt cake pan, HAS to be made in a bundt cake pan) that has pineapple chunks. I absolutely hate it. Except the delicious cream-cheese-sour-cream-powdered-sugar-little-lemon-juice sauce that goes with it. I just get a bowl of that shit. It's awesome.

• We save the cheese balls for Christmas. I'm so horngry for Thanksgiving now.

• The f-bomb in your title just made me very disappointed in what is a usually very enjoyable and informational site. Poor taste.

• Pecan. Muhfukkin'. Pie. Cover that cream cheese block in jalapeno raspberry jam and we're forever friends. And eat a gaddamned cheese ball.

• Then give us more love and hit up the appetizers and desserts. My country family typically appetizes with a block of cream cheese covered in salsa, and of course ranch dip with ruffled potato chips. For dessert there's a pumpking and a pecan pie, a four layer dessert, and snicker doodle cookies. Carrot souffle is also the bomb. We get our holiday sides from the Festive Kitchen. Great sides.

• SWEET POTATO ANYTHINGAAAAAAH!!!!

•  Thanksgiving side dishes Honorable Mention ... Sweet Potato Casserole with the dinky little marshmallows on top. Pumpkin Pie with Cool Whip, because you can't have a pie without Cool Whip. Some sort of nasty salad that includes Jell-o and walnuts because you know your grandmother always brings it but no one ever eats it. Rolls of any kind.  The bread is the vehicle for butter.

• No shit, Sherlock! Absolutely right.

• This post isn't funny at all. It's completely serious. How did you miss that?

• Nah. This is the real A.T. We feel her. Women aren't funny unless they're trying to understand sports.

• Capriotti's in Plano: The Bobbie. It's your Thanksgiving sandwich all year long. http://dallas.eater.com/archives/2011/08/11/firstever-texas-capriottis-location-to-open-in-plano.php

• YES ALL OF THOSE THINGS, TOO! AAAAAAAAAAHTHANKSGIVING!!!!!!

• You try too hard to be funny. Women aren't really funny unless they are humming.

• OMG - the sandwich!  I can't wait.  I was so sad when Street's Sandwiches closed because you could order that baby all freaking year (albeit on french bread rather than smooshy white bread, but still damn good).  And all you foodie types who start boiling your cranberries three days in advance and infuse them with kumquat essence and get all jazzy with exotic spices...you still will never match the awesomnity of jellied cranberry goop in the shape of the can. If my cranberry sauce don't have ridges, keep it the hell away from my turkey.

• Very eloquent my dear..and I think I've found a new name for my NWA tribute band: Straight out of a turkey's junk Don't sleep on cheesy peas either, cause you know you like them as well.

• And a happy meat sweats day to you, Alice

• Wtf. Where's dessert? This is bullshit. What about muhfuckin deep fried turkey? Or some muhfuckin honey ham? You incomplete me.
