Thanksgiving guilty pleasures....
« Reply #-1 on: November 21, 2016, 09:05:01 PM »
SO.. my guess is - that we all have one ( or more if we are lucky :D ).  I will put on my Dr. Phil hat, an you can tell us all what yours is. Come on - open up and fear no more! No judgement ( as long as no small children are harmed by it... ;D)

I will go first: I CRAVE the cheap,canned jellied fake cranberry sauce ( we call it SPLOCK - from the sound it makes coming out of the can ;)... mouth watering as it type :D...) to go with turkey, dressing and gravy.
AND..the next day -  big 'ole sammich comprised of  toasted bread, a big slab of SPLOCK, then turkey, then dressing, then GRAVYYYY... :P :P :P...

And to think of all of the effort I put into prep of the meal - I still laugh at myself for the addiction I obviously have for this ...drivel of a product, when I have so many great recipes for cranberry relishes... :D :D :D

O.K. - your turn ;D

I think there is a law Down South that you have to eat canned jellied cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. I won't risk going to jail and not having it.

To me the turkey is just an excuse to make a big ol' panful of homemade gravy to pour over the homemade dressing!

I love homemade turkey gravy (OK ANY homemade gravy) so much I have been known to pour some into a mug and drink it!

Guilty as charged!  8)   I was actually thinking about that (and how good your pulled pork was) as I typed my reply above!

  Nope , Not any more.  When I met Kerry she made real cranberry sauce for our first Thanksgiving. OMG!  what I had been missing all those years! It is  awesome to say the least and after Thanksgiving I have been know to put it and goat cheese stuffed inside pork chops on the grill.

No more cans for me!

PS> Her stuffing is ridiculously good too....   I can't wait !

Our thanksgiving was in October, but just listening to you all, I have to go get another turkey now. And some fresh cranberries.
