Hoping the Duggar kidults that are married go to their spouses families for  real home cooked Thanksgiving meals.

I’m interested where Jill, Joe, and Jinger spend their Thanksgiving day. Si’s in laws are fame whores who will willingly sit down to a meal with foam plates/cups, and plastic utensils.

I love that canned stuff with a passion, specially on a turkey sandwich. I'm sure Duggars don't even know cranberries come in any other form.

I'm having canned cranberry for dinner tonight. But I'm making my own dressing/stuffing whichever. And brussel sprouts yum.

I'm not really a huge fan on cranberry sauce, but I do make my own, with orange zest added. Mr Jyn does actually like the canned stuff. I don't know whether he likes it better than homemade, but since he knows how much I like making things from scratch he doesn't complain.

Turkey is in the oven, so I'm taking a short break. Stuffing is in the turkey - I know that's not the recommended way of doing it, but since I haven't killed anyone over the past 33 years of doing it that way, I'm probably too old to change.

Sweet potatoes are roasted, mashed, seasoned, and ready to go back into the oven. Creamed onions are done and will just need re-heating. Gravy is made from the turkey stock I made yesterday from extra wings. It's thick, so I can just add drippings from the turkey once it comes out of the oven.  Still need to prep the Brussels sprouts and make mashed potatoes. The bag of corn can just steam in the microwave because there's a limit to how many things you can make into more trouble than they need to be! LOL

Oh, and the apple pie is done as well. My daughter is bringing the pumpkin cheesecake.

I ALWAYS stuff the turkey.  Always. 

[Oldernowiser]

Another stuffer here...I read an article s few years back that heating the stuffing before putting it in the bird helps everything heat up faster and is therefore safer.

So that’s what I do as a concession!

You are all way ahead of me...must get to work.

Happy holiday, all my beloved fellow snarkers...

[BitterApple]

The stuffing definitely tastes better if you cook it inside the bird. 

We're heading over to my in-laws in a bit. My responsibilities are pretty light this year. I made a berry trifle for dessert, and the infamous Green Bean Casserole.

Then, too, my daughter is vegetarian, so I keep some of the stuffing aside for her, season it with some "no chicken" bouillon (which I also use to make a vegetarian gravy for her) and she gets a stuffed portabello mushroom instead of turkey. Everything else she can eat.

I think so as well...and the turkey tastes better, too. Glad some people here agree :)

Now I’m just sad.... I don’t have a courtship anniversary to celebrate  :-((

However, I am not aging in dog years as these two idiots are.   They’ve only been together for FIVE years????   They’ve aged at least 15 years each.

Derick has a live video in his Instagram stories from 7 hours ago. He looks exceptionally well rested and Sam (who is strapped into his high chair, because where else would he be?) just looks shell-shocked throughout. They're watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and it would appear they are doing their own celebration/dinner. Also, Jill's "whaaat?!"s mock-surprise responses are nearly as annoying, if not as frequent, as her yaaaays.

Ughhhh, I hate when they say, "dating with a purpose." Some of us heathens are looking for a spouse, too! Not all single people have a one-night stand every weekend! Certainly Derick knew someone in college who dated someone seriously, and ended up married? I can even see the duggars spouting out this line because they are sheltered, but I'm sure Derick has seen many, many people meet, date seriously, and then marry!

Goodness knows I never had a purpose in my dating. Didn't want to get to know the guy, get to know his friends or family, simply enjoy his company, learn about what he loves to do, find out if I could still stand him after 3 months or if he turned out to be a douche. No purpose in that there dating. Completely aimless.

Need to confess, no cranberry chutney at our Thanksgiving table. We have cranberry out of the can, can rings and all and I enjoy every bite!

Ocean Spray cranberry sauce recipe from the bag of berries, with Splenda instead of sugar, is what I make.  Mr. Xword is diabetic, so I try to limit his sugar.  The canned cranberry sauce is great, and when we have guests, it comes in very handy.  I absolutely love green beans, and I buy fresh even when expensive, but in a pinch, I'll eat frozen or canned.  

I'm proud to say, I've never eaten the Green Bean Casserole with the cream of ? soup and the fried onions.  Nor have I ever made it.  We all have our holiday dishes likes & dislikes.  I only got to like Brussels Sprouts in the last 5 years, after I lost major poundage.

Poor Jill.  Isn't she the one that hid food and ate in the bathroom, so she wouldn't have to share?  She must have a few admirers to keep posting those awful recipes.  Even if her MIL worked full-time, I would hope Miss Cathy made meals without all those canned ingredients.  Maybe not.

[floridamom]

I hope all my posting friends here had a nice Thanksgiving day, each in their own way. I did all the cooking; my sons' requested their favorite sides from when they were little; Italian sausage dressing /and the infamous green bean casserole. My husband likes his mashed potatoes 'stiff', so they were. All were from fresh ingredients. I highly doubt other than the turkey, was anything fresh in the Duggar home today.

My son brought a special young lady in his life for us to meet.....(I hope they're 'dating with a purpose.) I should have instructed them to do so AND provide a chaperone for them/24/7. 

[ginger90]

I worked today, my son in law made dinner. Then one of my daughters took the children to her house and they had a cold and long nerf battle in her yard when my other daughter left for work. Now I have one grandson while his parents are shopping. 

We have done holidays before and after the actual date. This was on the date for once. 😃

I know...I mean, I suppose there are people out there who more or less see dating as some sort of pinball game where you just ping off the nearest immobile object and the aim is more to keep yourself out there for as long as possible and rack up as many points as you can, but pretty much anyone I've ever known has dated with at least a long-term intent to find the love of their lives. I dated very little before I met Mr. Jyn when I was 25. Maybe six or seven people in six or seven years, but only two of those lasted for more than three dates, and none more than five or six . I just didn't see the point in dating someone I didn't see a future with. At least I learned a bit about chemistry, but, in retrospect, sometimes I kinda think it would have been nice to have learned more...

[QuinnInND]

"Dating with a purpose"... Good God. Yes, sometimes the purpose is to get laid. But I digress. These damn people have to try and be holier than thou with everything they do! Ugh. 

My mother in law, sister in law and her husband and 2 kids, ages 6 and 7 and 3 single Airmen came for dinner. We had a full house. Everything was made from scratch. Except the cranberries. We love the canned jellied ones. After dinner, we made plates and took them to the gate guards, and to the Airmen at the silos. They were very glad they were remembered.

I think for many (but not most) secular people dating is a method to establish a routine companion and get their need for partnered sex met, not necessarily find a life partner. Only an idiot like Derrick would think that “dating” means having a one night stand every weekend. 

 

But to slightly defend the Duggars (ugh I cannot believe it) in the secular world of 2018 many people “date” for YEARS with no intention to marry/co-habit or “life partner” (this is especially true for older people who have done that already); the term “dating” doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone, so I see that “courting” fits in with their express purpose of finding a spouse. 

 

Everyone has their own path to finding interpersonal fulfillment, it’s not better or worse to have dated a lot of people before getting married, nor dated a few etc etc.

I'm not sure of @Jynnan tonnix recipe, but my mom always made pearl onions and peas. Very basic: the onions and peas with a cream sauce made of flour, milk and butter.

I love the way they describe courting as "DATING" with a purpose. Their 'dates' while courting are nothing like dates. Constantly having to have a 3rd party stand guard over you  while you have a picnic, a meal in a restaurant or go to Silver Dollar City...is NOT dating. The pressure on the couple must be immense. ...to have to determine if this is the 'one for you' in a very short amount of time while always being on your best behavior. How many times have the just married Duggar offspring and offspring-in-laws have stated that they can now finally relax in front of each other? They should be relaxing BEFORE engagement and marriage. Their courting is not dating and I'm tired of them borrowing the term and misusing it.

Also...us 'regular folk' out here who do date or have dated in the past, are NOT dating for one night stands. What a warped opinion they have of others outside of their inner sanctum. They are all messed up in their heads IMO. Their parents have sure done a number on them while they were growing up.  Heck their own parents dated each other without chaperones and they turned out having 'successful, long term, CHRISTIAN' marriages, didn't they? How is it not possible for their own children to not have the same option?

Yup...I generally put a bit of other flavoring in the sauce...a little wine, a little mustard, salt and pepper, of course, and a dash of ground nutmeg...no peas as Mr Jyn despises them. The onions also add a nice flavor to the sauce as they cook through.

Derick’s only purpose was to get in JB’s good graces and snag one of his daughters. Derick was the one who contacted JB and asked to be a prayer partner. The whole thing was contrived. Derick wanted to bask in the glow of the famous teevee Duggar family and reap the rewards without doing any of the work.

Exactly. He certainly wasn’t a Don Juan. He had little dating experience, but being approved by JB gave him entry into the Duggar empire. 

I don’t think any of the eligible females other than Jill showed any interest in him. Jill went full steam ahead with daddy’s approval.

Just came across this story about an American killed on on island off the coast of India and immediately thought of Jill and Derick. The guy was a Christian missionary trying to contact a group that has never had any contact with the outside world. They are known to immediately shoot arrows at anyone approaching the island and are protected under Indian law. How long before we see tweets and insta posts reminding us of the "danger" they were in as missioncationers and how that could have been them.

This came up in conversation yesterday.  My husband's cousin & wife have gone the missionary route.  They are in England  trying to convert Muslims to Christianity.
