Of course there's also the obamian millennial version featuring free government cheese and copious amounts of obama-koolaid.

Nothing! I already back-pedaled on the beer, LOL!
I can do without the other things you mentioned though.
I am nothing but lucky to have two millennials living with me! One is leaving for Tokyo soon, sniff sniff. I love my kids and they are good guys and they can save $ for other things and live here where there is plenty of room. They will be gone soon enough. And it’s $900 for a studio in a really bad neighborhood here, so why not have these great guys (and part time babysitters) here in the house?!
How did you get that photo of my family’s Thanksgiving?! ;)
I raised 15 one year.
12 made it to butcher size
the gals were about 15 lbs. The boys were in the twenties and thirties.
Information.
A 30+ lb turkey does not fit in a conventional oven.
That actually made me nauseous to read! You poor dears!
Velveta on turkey, bleaugh
Just this morning I said if I ever host a large T-Day dinner again, I would much prefer having 3 smaller birds than one great big giant.
The big ones are fun and impressive looking, but they are harder to cook to a good finish, and they only have 2 legs.
With 3 birds you can have 3 different recipes, a better chance of not drying out, plenty of leftovers, and LOTS of wings and legs.
I hope you all have a good day, whatever you’re doing.
Yeah, I thought about that.
The problem with these Millennials is they’re such helpless babies.
They’re also big into “sustainability”.
They don’t need to buy smaller turkeys, just be prepared to totally use the big turkeys so many farms grow.
I learned at a very young age how to process a large turkey.
Of course, you cook the whole big thing for Thanksgiving meal, but there’s a lot more to do with it.
I usually finish carving it completely after Thanksgiving dinner, and of course those cuts are leftovers. The bones, small pieces of meat on the carcass and the skin no one eats ALL go into the soup pot. So I don’t have to start cooking again then, I usually put the stripped carcass, bones and skin in a heavy ziplock freezer bag, and then make soup for Christmas eve in a slow cooker. Boil it slow all day, take out the bones and add carrots, potatoes, onions and noodles and you have a warm and easy meal for Christmas eve.
The point is, like you said, use it ALL up. They could do the same if they weren’t so stupid from environmental wackiness.
I’d tell them, listen Luke/Dakota/Chloe/Britanny, y’all got to eat, no? And they ALREADY have big turkeys, right? And turkey meat is very healthy for you... Why have to cook 4 or five small turkeys and kill ALL those birds when you could just kill one big bird (wait, they all watched Sesame Street growing up, right?—Better make that “large” bird). It spares 4 other birds their lives! You can eat one big, er, large bird over the span of a week or two when you would other wise kill two or three small ones at least for the same amount of food. Larger even spares more tiny turkeys! What could be more humane for a non-vegan, amirite?
So get your ass in the kitchen and start processing that big, er, large bird!!!
We usually have 2 birds, one for the oven 14-16# and one 12-14# doe the grill. The 14=16# filled with stuffine and a bit in a casserole. The 12-14# smoked to perfection and it’s neighbor is mac and cheese. YUM This year we’ll be doing this for Christmas.
Sounds delicious!
What, Millenials don’t understand the joy of Thanksgiving Leftovers? Terribly sad.
I like to set up a couple full course large plates and freeze them for just a few hours then, I vacuum pack them and put them back in the freezer to take out months later.
The first freezing is to keep it from squishing down to much.Months later It still tastes just like the day after Thanksgiving leftovers.
The best leftover day of the year.
Yep - turkey sandwiches with a lot of mayo and maybe some stuffing and cranberry sauce is the best leftovers around....
LOL!
I grew up poor in, ‘The People’s Republik of Milwaukeestan.’ Grandma could work wonders with that Free Government Cheese!
I still miss her homemade Mac-n-Cheese and her Cheesy Omelette!
I sent my millenial son a link to a house within commuting distance of his work. The mortgage is $243 a month. Decent neighborhood too.
