TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I also host a large extended family most Thanksgivings. My method is that I do the complex cooking (I smoke a turkey, and one or more side dishes). After dinner I start making a stock with the turkey carcass (seriously, there is nothing better than turkey stock from smoked bones). The whole evening, I'm either doing cooking "things" (sometimes faking it), or cleaning dishes or tables or something. I'm always moving, but I'm not verbally interacting a ton. It works surprisingly well for me.
What wood for the turkey?
Apple, with a little mesquite
fuck yes. i'm whatever mix of apple, oak, and peach depending on the meat/mood.
Always stay busy is great advice. Most of the family doesn't care for turkey, so we usually have ham which isn't as involved prep-wise. I used to be able to "hide" most of the day when we did turkey since I would be manning the outdoor fryer. I got to avoid most of the family drama that way. By the time I came in, everyone was in a good mood because the food was ready.
We used to rotate every year but somehow I ended up hosting the last 3. Thanksgiving is the one day a year I'm not a vegetarian, but if I get roped into this again next year I may do a vegetarian spread. 😂
Make a Seitan or Tofurky and they won't want you to host again! Win Win!
(though I do admit seitan and tofu can be VERY delicious)
100% the plan, haha, and yeah, they are quite delicious.
You'll properly call me a miracle worker if you try my turkey noodle soup I make the day after!
I've done smoked turkey a few times now, but my friend took over the carcass broth duties when we would host.
