What’s for dinner at your thanksgiving?

Pantry: Your mashed rutabaga is just served straight up, with no added herbs, spices, or whatnot? Might have to try that with dinner in the next few weeks.

Dendro: Haven't had parsnips often, but when I have, they were good. These are vegetables I avoided as a kid, and I'm just now coming back around to seeing if I like them. Plus, it's fun to try cooking this stuff beyond the traditional ways. Boil and serve? Pass.

I still hate lima beans, though.

Rutabaga is pretty tasty. Has elements both sweet and bitter with neither being strong. Far more inherent flavor than a potato. So much you don't need to add much to it except sea salt and maybe a little black pepper. Add a little butter and it will make you wish restaurants served mashed rutabaga instead of mashed potato as a side. And again, it is the key ingredient to making a righteous beef pasty.

Parsnips are great. Lima beans too.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, 7 layer salad, and green bean casserole. The seven layer salad is a beautiful piece of art. Appetizers are always on point with lil weenies, meatballs, giant shrimp, assortment of cheese and olives. Fuck now I am hungry

Olives suck matty.

Steers and queers don’t like olives and you don't look much like a steer so that sorta narrows it down a bit

I am not good at riddles.

Sounds like you need a good martini. All gin and three olives.

OTPT is right again. Olives are disgusting. All of them.

You're clearly out of your vegetarian head. They grow on trees for christsakes.

They’re disgusting.

I’m pretty sure olives are meat

Pretty sure they are small pieces of shit.

Do you guys ever stop and think “does otpt get sick of being right all the time?”

Easy to imagine how butter would complement rutabaga better than mashing/mixing with olive oil, but that may be because I remember only the slight bitterness of it. Good call on the sea salt.

Parsnips, yes. Lima beans, not yet.

Sounds like another of your irrational fears. Ever try washing them down with raw milk?

Do you like mushrooms? Truffles?

I might make an apple pie. I will be smoking the turkey in my parent's driveway. I will butterfly/spatchcock it. It will be good. My buddy will come over and my wife will help his kids and ours and my nephews make gingerbread houses. He and I will drink some beers. Should be a real good time.

I mostly think about you in the shower.

For the sake of clarification do you think about OTPT while you're in the shower or do you think about OTPT taking a shower when you're not in the shower or is it a sometimes both type of thing?

Turtleneck needed a few minutes away from the board.

I always try things I don’t like each year to see if I do like them. Interesting how the do change.

The mashed rutabaga sounds really good. And I’ve never had rutabaga before. So I am going to give this a shot sometime soon.

Mostly when I am in the shower, WBH.

Frankly, I enjoy a well made green bean casserole.
