I'll be cooking her a head of cauliflower glazed with the same sesame/soy/honey stuff I'm glazing the turkey with. I thought about going the seitan route but, honestly, a turkey alone is enough work and I might not be doing the big Thanksgiving dinner, I'm still going to be the leftover fairy. That and I'm experimenting with subbing the butter and cream in my mashed potatoes with vegan cultured butter and maybe a cashew-based sour cream. It...might work. Not sure. I've been getting better at coming up with vegan recipes for her over these fun, isolating months. My son is allergic to dairy/eggs/nuts. I do his mashed potatoes with a combination of Earth Balance and a few splashes of a neutral oil (like Canola or Grapeseed). Nowhere near as good as "regular", but not bad.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Ohio has a 10pm curfew starting Thursday for 21 days. Grocery stores and drive throughs are exempted. I'm not sure how much spread there was after dark, the bars had to close early anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that one a shot. That sounds easier than what I was thinking about. My thinking was that the best way to go about this one is going with an herby mashed so you don't miss the dairy. Half russet, half yellow on the potato side, a good helping of salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, thinly sliced chives and thyme, a couple sticks of Miyoko's cultured European unsalted butter, and some Forager half & half...or maybe Tofutti sour cream.

SilentWorld Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don’t think @CitizenVectron posted about this yet... Our provincial government just had a press conference this afternoon and the summary of what the premier had to say is as follows: 1) Long Term Care facilities are being closed to visitors for the next month. 2) the limit for gatherings in private households has now been reduced to five. 3) the premier says if you want to meet with your friends or family, he strongly encourages you to meet in a public area “such as a restaurant.” RIP. Good thing I just built a gaming PC I guess because I don’t see this getting better any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 So the current outbreak in my county was cause by a baby shower. We seriously went from a case like every other week to the schools shutting down and the hospital going on lockdown because somebody got a bunch of people together to celebrate their mistake.

I first learned about them from you. I really wanted one but we got a pretty nice gas grille as a housewarming gift. Hard for me to justify buying one of those bad boys atm, but it's definitely going down in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Moe hadn't said "if you're going to meet with a friend, I encourage you to do it at a restaurant," I wouldn't have been very bothered by today's press conference. Shutting down visiting to long term care homes sucks but probably makes sense. Mask mandate for the whole province makes sense. Limiting gatherings to 5 is an extreme but we need to take extreme measures. "Please don't invite a family member to your apartment for coffee. Instead go to a restaurant where there's 50 other people" does not make sense. I guess it's just him signaling that he's not going to shut down restaurants.

The question isn't so much "who the fuck wants to go to a sauna," the question should be "why the fuck are saunas open in the middle of a pandemic?"

At my grandpa's birthday party, my cousin infected 3 people: his mom (my aunt), his daughter, and my grandfather. Miraculously my grandfather seems to have recovered (definitely suffering from covid fog though). You'd think they learned their lesson right? Nope! Thanksgiving is a go. That part of the family is going to celebrate with around 10-12 people. My mom and dad (the non Republicans) will not be attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they're behaving is just so far beyond any kind of reasonable disagreement about what level of precaution to take. I think one of them has been unable to get out of traveling for work, so I kind of get her not seeing the point in being super careful the rest of the time, but the rest of them...ugh. Like, if it was just pictures of them doing outdoor dining, that would be one thing. I think it’s an unnecessary risk but the government is signaling it's safe by letting it be open, so it's harder to get pissed off about. But it's just infuriating seeing them take NO precautions when I haven't spent time with anyone in person in months. I'm not going to get to see my parents this year and had to miss my best friend's wedding but these chucklefucks are acting like everything's normal.
