Thanksgiving

[annettefayeroach]

What are your plans for Thanksgiving? I have no oven right now, so I will have to order my Thanksgiving Dinner from somewhere. Not very happy about that.

Get a Roaster Oven!
They only cost like, $20-$30 bucks from Wal-Mart.
It's an electric oven, it's really easy to cook a turkey in (or other fixings).
And after November, maybe more towards the summer when it's hot and you don't want to use an oven, you can use the electric one without the generated heat or for potlucks or whatever! They take a bit of fiddling to figure out and get used to, but once you do you can cook anything from pies and pizza to chili and soups to roasts and the aforementioned whole turkey!
Even bread, but I'm still fiddling with the homemade aspect there (plus, I have a bread machine that isn't getting enough use as is, so no real need to make it redundant lol)

I'm also oven-less at the moment

Although, hope to get an oven by Thanksgiving.
Dunno yet though if we'll be eating here or at my sisters or renting a place or possibly even deep frying the turkey (looks terrible, tastes delicious).


Also, I suppose you could always do fried turkey? Nothing saying it has to be same old, same old, right?
Or if you don't have too big a family, microwave ovens also work (better if you cut the turkey up rather than trying to do it whole though, even if you have a big enough microwave).
I've done chicken parts in the microwave, back before when we didn't even have the electric oven lol

For thanksgiving, I will spend it with the family, my wife will be working most of the day so i will do the cooking so she doesnt have to worry with it.

Just my 4 person family this year. My husband and I have never had a Thanksgiving when we didn't go to someone else's house so this should be interesting.

I will probably have Thanksgiving with my friends.  Used to go to my sisters, but don't think I will go this year, due to problems.  Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving no matter where they are or who they are with.

I don't have to work this year.  Don't have any plans I guess it will just me me and my mother.

Me and my family will most likely do the same exact thing as we did last year. We may go join my mom's boyfriend family and have thanksgiving with them. I don't really like it because there is just way too many people and it gets crowded quick. Then, it seems like you're waiting in a line forever just to put food on your plate and the food gets cold by the time you walk back to the table. I personally rather spend my thanksgiving with just my mom and my brothers.

I bought one a few years ago  when my oven was on its last legs. It was great. The turkey was so moist. After reading the above post ,I do not get enough out of mine though.

I have a big roaster that I use at times. I have a small kitchen and I have found that using different appliances for some of the dishes sure helps. But I still like cooking my turkey in a brown paper sack in the oven. It comes out so moist. No, I have never had a fire from using the sack.

The time is passing very fast....well i'm waiting for Black Friday....what can i buy in this year?

[ghunter]

This Thanksgiving as always will be at my house where everyone bring several dishes and we eat together.  Also my son birthday is on Thanksgiving and my daugther birthday is that Sunday before Thanksgiving so we will be celabrating birthdays and Thanksgiving and my daugther may be expecting a baby so we have a lot to be thankful for and I pray that her husband get a job and we really will have something to shout about.  Have a blessed Thanksgiving and don't eat too much.
