What are you making for Thanksgiving dinner?

Christian baby.

We were going to have a potluck with the other Americans here, at our apartment as it is the only one large enough to hold us all...but then our bathroom roof started leaking and all hell broke loose.
The repair guys did something, but a week later, the leak was worse. By the time they came back, the ceiling was beginning to collapse. They ended up cutting out most of our bathroom ceiling, so right now there is a giant, freezing cold hole in there.
But one of the pipes is clogged, we all knew that. They kept saying, just let us know where the leaks are, but they never would fix that issue. So the very next day after they cut open the bathroom, it's raining like mad, and the hallway ceiling starts to leak. Within 12 hours it is also about to collapse.

So, today they came and cut that out of the hall. Now there are 2 giant holes in our apartment, it's a mess and it's freezing.

We are trying to decide if we can still host the Thanksgiving potluck or if people will just be too cold in here. Booooo....

Well as tha knows, pumpkin in't very popular around these parts so I settled for mince, onions and tatties and lashings of ginger beer.

I just finished two batches of cranberry relish. One with pineapple and cranberries. One with cranberries, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, green onion, and lime juice. 

I baked corn bread which I will mix half and half with whole wheat bread, mirepoix, fresh sage, and turkey/ chicken stock for in-bird stuffing.

Mashed potato's with butter and cream.

The other 20 plus people will be bringing another turkey, venison, deviled eggs galore, pies. Sweet potato's without marshmallow. I am sure various green bean casseroles. My mother will make real chocolate pudding and layer it with fresh whipped cream and graham crackers (a family tradition).

I special ordered some Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout. If it does not arrive tomorrow then it will be for Christmas. Cabernet, Woodchuck Granny Smith Cider from Vermont. Coffee and tea for my Pentecostal parents and all the Baptists who do not want to drink in front of their peers.

What ever else I get a desire for by 4pm Thursday.

Thinking ahead for Christmas ... I have some maraschino cherries preserved in moonshine whiskey and sugar syrup. I plan on baking two round dark chocolate cakes. Soak the top of each cake with the shine / syrup. Stack the two cakes with a layer of cherry jam between. Fresh whipped cream around the edge. Garnish the top of cake with the moonshine cherries. Keep the kids away. True Devil's food for Jebuses birthday!

No offence meant, this is just something I've always been curious about.

Vegetarians don't eat meat, but there is food produced for them to resemble and even taste like meat.

Why?

I have yet to see anyone who refuses to eat anything but meat get meat products made for them that resemble vegetables.

[Minimalist]

They could resemble them but they'll still taste like shit.
