Every. Single. Year. this is what happens on

[hisno1girl]

Thanksgiving Day.

1. My younger sister will call me early in the morning (on a day I can sleep in) to ask me if I need anything from the store because she forgot <insert food item here>.

2. My older sister will call me to ask me what I'm doing. Her husband will be in the background screaming at her, "TELL VERONICA DON'T PUT BACON IN THE STUFFING - SHE KNOWS I HATE BACON!". Okay, so I put bacon in the stuffing ONE time in 1997 and BIL almost choked because he hates bacon. I didn't know, but damn, seriously? Who hates bacon?

3. DD will text me and ask me what time dinner is. For the 5,000th time.

4. DH will come into the kitchen and say, "Don't put so much onion in the stuffing. You know I don't like onions." I tell him, "Yes, dear, I'll mince them up super small so you won't have to bite into a piece of onion." I give him kiss and shoo him out of the kitchen and then I proceed to coarsely chop the onion just like I do every year.

5. I'll end up with 5 lbs of butter because I keep telling myself, "Don't forget butter for Thanksgiving day cooking/baking". Every time I go to the store, I'll buy some because I can't remember if I bought some the last time.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving, His!!!

I think he must be a Commie or something.

Happy Thanksgiving to you to Kevin. I'm so glad you joined us here. You're completely awesome.

We did that with the butter DH can have. We bought a full tub, came home and realized there was already an unopened tub in the fridge. Oh well.

Your BIL would not be welcome at my house, then. Well, he would be welcome, but he would not enjoy himself. I hit the bacon grand slam last year: Bacon in the appetizer (bacon cheese pastries, bacon in the main dish (stuffing), bacon in the side dish (green bean casserole), bacon in the soup (baked potato soup in the crockpot) and bacon in the dessert (I made a chocolate bar with one slice of bacon.

Lol. Your BIL is strange. Bacon rocks

[phyllisnefler]

This made me laugh. Who doesn't like bacon???

[hisno1girl]

I know! The bacon was nice & crisp and sprinkled all over the top. He started choking and gagging. I thought he was having an allergy attack or something.

[Mrs.Beagle]

I didn't have bacon until I was 18. My parents kept Kosher in the house, and I didn't eat pork outside of the house.

When I finally had bacon I called my mom and said WHY HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING ME FROM THIS WONDEROUS FOOD?!"

Mmmm now I want some bacon.

[thedutchgirl]

Ah, family. The repeating events is almost comforting at some point, isn't it? Even if the bacon-hater is obviously a fascist.

I also have 4+ pounds of butter. Oops. It freezes well!

OMG DENNIS, IT WAS YOU THE WHOLE TIME ??

Listen up you Commie One time, in 1997, I put bacon on top of the stuffing. Just some nice thick cut, perfectly crisp and crumbled bacon on top of the stuffing. I didn't mix it in.

That year was known as BaconGate. My BIL whined about it for 6 months and then asked if everything I ever made after that had bacon in it. This has been going on since 19fucking97!

When I made hamburgers on the grill
BIL: Do those have bacon in it
Me: *Looks at burgers* No, Dennis, I don't put bacon on burgers.
BIL: There's none chopped up and mixed in with the meat? Because that one time, you put bacon on the stuffing at Thanksgiving.....

When I make potato salad
BIL: Does that have bacon in it?
Me: No.
BIL: Oh, okay, I'm just checking because some people but bacon in their potato salad and that one time, you put bacon on the stuffing at Thanksgiving.....

OK, he's neurotic.

But you still don't put bacon in stuffing!! lol.

Right?!?!? I'd be suspicious too. Especially because there are some people who will put bacon in anything.

[flex]

Bacon in stuffing sounds heavenly! Is there a recipe that you can share?

[melindafelinda]

My stuffing has sausage. My green beans have bacon. All my foods have meat.

I will be over for Thanksgiving dinner! :Y:

[WOT?*]

DH and I both shopped for last minute stuff. I did a Costco run for the pumpkin pie...and ended up with a dozen apples and a host of other things (including butter) from a second store run. He did a Safeway run and ended up with a bag of apples and a bunch of other stuff (including butter x2).

Neither of us bought milk. Thank goodness our Safeway is open today, poor souls.

ETA: (Jenny, if you were this side of town I'd loan you a pound or two. Real or fake. I have both.)

I am exactly like that with butter and chicken broth. You can never have too much on Thanksgiving!
