Went to my dad's and his wife's house yesterday for Thanksgiving to eat their shit-ass food. Everybody there is fat, yet they were all talking about how they were all of a sudden eating healthy and couldn't eat much, or that they used less this and that in their recipes or that they were trying to stay in Ketosis
.....all a bunch of horseshit that gave me a headache. I took my kids there around 4:30, we ate around 6pm, and then when I was done eating what I could without vomiting, and after having some pumpkin pie from Costco, I went straight to the couch and took a 2 hour nap!!! My brother's boyfriend wouldn't eat most foods because his fag-ass didn't want to get kicked out of Ketosis, my dad's stupid libtard wife kept talking about how she modified all her recipes to skip the chemicals in the foods....yet she pulled out the powdered gravy from a plastic bottle and just added water and some turkey fat to it....wtf?! Yea, you read that right.....60 year old woman who doesn't have a clue on how to make gravy, she must be close to 300# too so she isn't skipping the food(s) in her diet. My brother brought a sugar-free peanut butter pie that had no flavor, and his boyfriend cooked the turkey in a bag. It was moist but NO flavor. Ugh! Instead of making the mashed potatos, my brother skimped out and bought them from Costco, and then he went home and drowned them in garlic and butter to the point they were super runny almost more than the gravy. It's like guys....i'm thankful we are all together and stuff.....but fuck me I want some good food, dammit! My mom is rolling in her grave. Unless somebody is poor and can't afford much of anything, there is no reason to cut corners. If you can't make something or have to cut major corners.....don't volunteer to make the damn shit. The stuffing tasted like dog's-ass. I used to do most of the cooking, but the past 2 years they just ask if we are coming over without asking me to make anything, so this year I came 100% empty handed.....just my kids and a pack of wipies.
Winner(s) of the night......Costco pumpkin pie and Diet Dr. Pepper.
Sooo.....I knew this would happen, so i bought all my food ahead of time to make today at home (day after TG) for just the kids. My picky son actually ate more than dinner rolls and olives, lol.
I ran out of time to make a sweet potato dish, and I usually have deviled eggs, but one of my kids stuck the eggs in the freezer
No salad either, lol.
My plate of stuff, then a bowl of red velvet cake. Third pic is the dark meat. I used the same recipe of cooking that I did last year on the nutrition/recipe forum...except I added sweet tea to my brine this year....and it will be a staple now.
