Which reminds me : avoid cold foods and drinks as much as possible. They slow down digestion. If you make smoothies, it's a good idea to throw in some fresh ginger to aid digestion. I could go on for a while, but I'll stop there. If you want to know what foods are good for specific diseases or chronic conditions, tag me and I should be able to help.
By the way, unless you're totally destitute, I'd advise against buying anything in a can. Pretty much any other preservation method is better than canning.
We should not be buying food from the Beast if we can help it. Local farmers ftw
I really appreciate it
What did everyone make today for their thanksgiving meals?
I was in charge of the sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and I also made brussel sprouts
I took out trash and did dishes. 😑
Not exactly glamorous but still necessary duties @Wood-Ape - OK/MN lol
I served as sou chef a lot actually which is more than I usually do. Stuffed the mushrooms, peeled taters and apples, and prepared appetizers
what is the simplest way I could cook Turkey?
I got one for free and I don't know what to do with it

Take the gizzards,neck,etc out of both ends. Once you make sure it has defrosted completely. Rinse off. Stick gobs of butter in between skin and meat,especially around breast area. Season with basic salt,pepper,garlic,etc. Put breast side down for most hours,basting every half hour,hour, let go for like 4hrs,depending on pounds of Turkey, flip back over the last 2 hours,continue basting...
Also depends on pounds of Turkey, say if like a 20lb turkey.
Yes,have always stuffed mass amounts of butter between skin,makes a huge,succulent difference.
Also fresh chopped garlic us good too
My uncle made his own Kane's seasonings that i use alot too.
Have always cooked breast down for years too,turnes out more tender and juicy that way.
Thanks a lot
baste and redpilled as well
Lol you bet!
Is it worth getting an actual cook book?
My parents had a cool one that they never used
Yes they do help
For reference to check back on at least
Better Homes new cook book,usually found as good basic one to always have on hand
Yes,its a must and best way to do
The cook book my dad had was this really old one
It was pretty cool
like from Soviet times
Cool
"Fill the turkey with aromatics like chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs"
is there any other fruits and vegetables that are good for this?
that sounds less fun
cringe and bluepilled
I don't like to fill mine with anything either,otherwise its a pain in the butt and sometimes the stuffing isn't all that great either.
A heavier pan is usually the best too,a good roasting pan with a rack,you can buy at department stores,etc.
Ya,buying a good decent one for like $20,$30 is worth it. Think I got 1 long ago at Kohl's, then daughter got me better 1 later. Good 1 with handles and rack,big difference.
How do you put butter under the skin?
Just cut off little pieces and shove them in there?
