What did you forget to get for Thanksgiving dinner?

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

I have plenty of foil. I also have the important stuff so if I forgot anything, it won't be bad.

I forgot butter. Ran out this morning before the snow started.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

A can of cream of celery for the dressing.

And I know I got the cranberry sauce but we cant find it. How can four cans of cranberry sauce just go missing?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Nothing that I know of. Everything is put together and ready. SS ran out of toothpaste last night.

Did you check the car lily? Maybe you left them in the shopping cart of at the register?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

The other day I bought minced onions. I needed them for a recipe. I KNOW I bought them. Two days ago I was looking for them and couldn't find them. DH even scoured the pantry and couldn't find them.

I don't know where they are. I would rather have fresh cranberry sauce. It's stupid easy to make. But mom likes the can stuff.

I don't know if kids like it cause it has been so long since I made it. I may make some if I have to go get some tomorrow.

I forgot to order...and when I went online this afternoon, it was too late. So I called the store BEGGING. And they are going to whip me up a dinner...

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's kinda funny O4. Glad they are going to make you something.

Every year I contemplate ordering T-day meal, but every year I chicken out and make it. One of these years we'll go to the club and say f** it.

So much easier! And you just get to relax & spend time with your family.

WIN/WIN

Part of Thanksgiving is preparing the meal with family. At least it is for me. We do it together. Each adding to it every year.

Minced onions? Did you look in your sock drawer? Oven? pantry with your plates? Medicine cabinet?

There are a lot more places for minced onions to hide than for cans of cranberry sauce to hide.

I think I've forgotten how to expect to have a good time.

From what you post, it sounds like you do it all yourself.

Not everyone enjoys preparing a big elaborate meal.

I'd rather spend the afternoon with my kids & DH.

I forgot tin foil - but went and got it last night. I also forgot to put the bread out to get stale, so it is drying out in the oven right now.

LOL! Too funny!

I don't think I forgot anything. Time will tell. biggrin

From the years I've cooked I've learned that there is always one more thing you would have gotten. Even if you didn't need it.

This annoys me. DS uses this term too. Foil is made from Aluminum, hasn't been made with tin in a very long time. evileye

Yes, I'm aware. However, aluminum is harder to spell and longer to type. So, too bad! TIN foil, TIN foil, TIN foil.

That's why I just say FOIL.

From the Aluminium Aluminum Company.

I haven't see Kaiser Quilted Aluminum Foil in the stores for a loooong time.

I really like the non-stick foil now.

Aluminum is too many syllables!

We all do it.

Except when daddy is in there. Then we just stay out of his way and watch.

Dad is a special kind of cook. But what he makes always tastes great.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I say tin foil too.

Maybe it is a southern thin LL.

FOUND THE CRANBERRY SAUCE!

It was hiding in the pantry right where it was put.

Nope. I'm a relocated Yankee, and I've always said tin foil. It looks like tin - close enough. People wear "fur" coats that are not really fur, too.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

OK. Well then maybe it's a redneck thing. Cause you don't have to be from the south to be a redneck!

A country thing for sure.

I don't know yet what I've forgotten for Thanksgiving dinner, but ...

DS1 called. He seems to have locked himself out of his bedroom .

He's in a two bedroom apartment, and for a while he had a couple of deadbeat room mates, so he put a lock on his bedroom door.

I have no idea why he still locks that door now.

Well, when y'all stop calling random plastic bowls "Tupperware", then we'll talk. And "FOIL" is what you do to hair when you color it.

You lock a door for two reasons.

You want to keep someone out.

OR.

You want to keep someone in.

Doritos. All we have are the potato chips I think taste weird

The turkey. We forgot the turkey.

Because we have MEATBALLS!!! Which are 100x better than turkey.

Nothing. We had everything!

I forgot mayo and relish for deviled eggs. Sent dh to the store.

We didn't eat pie, we all just woke up from our obligatory naps. Too late for pie.

I feel sorry for people who have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving.

It is my hope and prayer that fortune smiles upon them in the coming year so that they can afford beef next year and don't have to eat that foul (sic) bird.

I have an entire freezer fulll of beef but turkey comes but once a year.
