OTFPOTD: Two days in a row edition
So it appears I'm the only one around, which means that this could be the lowest-attended fanpost in a while. But I'll put one up anyway, because, well, because it's a day.
And because it's the day before Thanksgiving, the standard questions apply:
1. What are you doing for the holiday?
2. What is your favorite food of the Thanksgiving feast?
3. Does your family have Thanksgiving post-dinner plans? My family used to eat early and bowl at night.
4. What are the odds that you get too drunk and embarrass yourself in front of your family?
So, there we are.

Lets see:
1. Spending the day/feast with good friends.
2. Outside of turkey or ham, I’d have to say green bean casserole.
3. Drinking.
4. 100%. Daily.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

Let's see
1. Going to Jack in the Box tomorrow, then shopping
2. Yams, for sure
3. Black Friday stuff, since I haven’t had Thanksgiving with my family in six years
4. 0%

Answering my own questions
1. Going to the bar by our house for Thanksgiving dinner because my wife gets home late tonight and we can’t be bothered to cook.
2. Stuffing. Or gravy.
3. Drinking.
4. My wife’s seen me embarrass myself while drunk a lot, and that’s the only family I’ll be seeing tomorrow, so 0%.

.
1. Hosting my wife’s side of the family in our new house. With our new dining room table that I earned my man card back assembling late Sunday night.
2. My wife’s sweet potato & red onion recipe. Or Stove Top Stuffing. Can’t decide.
3. This year, we’re going for dessert to our real estate agent’s house.
4. 15%. Since we’re hosting, I might take that second or third glass of wine. But drinking too much wine just puts me to sleep, so combine that with the turkey, and I’ll more likely fall asleep on the couch.

that second or third glass of wine?
Don’t go crazy, now. hahahaha. When I go to my family’s for the holidays, “that third glass of wine” is the MINIMUM consumption level that’s acceptable.

My mantra has always been quality over quantity...
Even though I’ve got waaaay more than 6-pack abs, my skinny wife can drink me under the table. I’m a massive lightweight when it comes to alcohol…

1. Going to my mom’s house. And then after dinner, heading to work.
2.Cranberry sauce. And ham.
3. No.
4.Have to work that night, so zero.

Questions.
1. Going to Kirkland for a bash that my uncle co-hosts with his partner. Helping prepare the big-ticket items.
2. I honestly don’t like this holiday. But homemade mashed ‘tatoes make up for quite a bit.
3. I have never celebrated Thanksgiving up here. I did see a game of Apples to Apples on the coffee table?
4. Um, they don’t really drink. I always thought holidays would be more fun if my family had alcohol infused get-togethers.
Yeah…I’m not really looking forward to tomorrow…

You have to prepare the big-ticket stuff in a house full of people that don't drink?
Ouch. Doesn’t cooking at a holiday require copious amounts of booze?

Answers!
1. Nothing special, mostly traveling to visit extended family.
2. Pumpkin pie!
3. Just hanging around with my grandparents for a little while.
4. 0%. Now cousin Eddie on the other hand…

I don’t usually like sweet potatoes. But damn, this recipe my wife found that basically has sweet potatoes chunked with red onions, lemon pepper, and a few other ingredients all thrown in the oven for a bit is pretty damn good. I give my wife credit for it since she found and made the recipe first, but I pretty much do all the cooking on Turkey Day myself. I LOVE to cook…

Jeanuts was “signed up” for sweet potatoes for tomorrow. She’s never made them, and we don’t like them. I told her to call my sister and get signed up for something else.

I normally HATE sweet potatoes, too.
Like “keep ’em the hell away from me” hate…
I can’t find the exact recipe right now, but it’s very similar to this (heh, I think there’s a typo in the number of sweet potatoes). And it’s sooooooo good. Basically olive oil, rosemary, lemon pepper and some other stuff are used as the marinade over the top.

I'd always be willing to try something new,
but until I actually taste good sweet potatoes, they stay on the “keep ’em the hell off my plate” list.

This.
Like asking for pumpkin and being told ‘we don’t have that, but sweet potato pie is better!" Did I ask for sweet potato pie? Pepsi tastes exactly like Coke? Ice cream looks like mashed potatoes, ever bite into it thinking it was going to be a delicious bite of ice cream?

I'm probably just pissy. I'm sick and I have no appetite.
Therefore, no coffee, nicotine (I’m thinking about just keeping this going), no bacon and eggs for breakfast. Caffeine, nicotine, and cholesterol withdrawals all at once, I’m sure my wife is really enjoying my company.

Opiate based stuff gives me the heaves, and makes me all itchy.
I’ve been going with valium or methadone for a few years now. Try and explain to a doctor that you have to use methadone for pain and check the reaction you get. Fun times. At least itchy and heaving distracts from the actual injury.
