What are you eating?

Derek, are you making your faggy brioche rolls again? What’s on the menu this year?

What?! Wait what’s the reason you’ll eat together tomorrow but not today? You’ll likely be sick tomorrow too anyway. Plus, tomorrow is every capitalist’s favorite holiday and that can only be celebrated with mindless consumerism.

Do you like these pies? Are they worth trying?

If they’re properly filled up with enough filling they can be quite good (but that’s often not the case with typical store-bought ones here). They also do puff-pastry mince pies, which put the ‘mincemeat’ filling between sheets of puff pastry, and they’re really good.

I think you should definitely try it! A full-size version would certainly have a better filling-to-crust ratio.

I just made a general thanksgiving meal - rather special as it was the first time that the task to cook fell on me. Turkey; mashed potatoes; sweet potatoes with brown sugar, butter, and marshmallow; cranberry sauce; green bean casserole; pan seared corn on the cob; stuffing; pumpkin pie and I just bought Patti Labelle's Peach Cobbler lol. I also bought a little table cloth to make it look more festive.
I don't have a lot of money but it came out very nice.

What’s better? Cyber Monday?

Have you guys heard of ruby chocolate? It’s the fourth type of chocolate just created two years ago from ruby cacao beans in South America.

Thanksgiving dinner: Quorn roast, sage and onion stuffing, garlic mash with skins, and mixed vegetables, all with turkey-flavoured gravy. Better late than never!

Majorly thankful this year.

I see Mancini’s has influenced your portion sizing :p

Normally René and I will split a whole Quorn roast between us on our lonely Thanksgivings.

The 1 kg of mixed vegetables was perhaps overkill, even with three people.

Turkey leftovers for days and days.

Thanksgiving left overs. We were a gathering of 9 with food for 30. We had two whole fried turkeys, one fried turkey breast and a ham. In our family, if you're going to go through the trouble of cooking, might as well make plenty. Everyone came with containers to take food home.

Thai coconut sticky rice with mango and toasted sesame seeds.

Poached egg on a bed of crushed avocado with pepper sauce on toast.

At Edinburgh Christmas market I just had waffle fries with dark chocolate and black cherries in cherry syrup.

I don't start a day without it

ALDI has a great selection of affordable dark chocolates.
