Local Tavern

This is the Tavern Thread

Speaking of: when can Hopper and I do stuff?

 

[Ben]

Is this the thread for the living during the night phase ?

Rules are for places without a mob infestation.

But I guess I wanted to stick it in this thread because of how Italian AF it seemed.

It is a stereotype that Italian is Italian. You got me.

Sparkrender died of starvation because he was locked in battle so long and wasn't able to eat.

Meanwhile, Zesty wrote a book: How to Kill Your Dragon

Love me a good ol G&T.

I've had wine the last two nights, probably want have anything tonight, try not to make it 3 nights in a row, and just did 3 nights in a row last week on my work trip

I've got to pick up pies from thy local diner in 30, but that I'm starting on this.

It started snowing pretty heavily this morning, so best I don't try to drink and pies.

 

[dimmerwit]

I am on holiday (by coincidence) and have made an Apple pie.

I'm not getting any snow until Saturday. Lots of lake effect snow expected in the Great Lakes this weekend, though. STL is only expected to see an inch.

Bought a pumpkin pie from costco and made a flourless chocolate torte.

Thanksgiving got canceled due to illness so now we got a ton of pie and cake!

Also sure would be nice if we could be playing Agent right now if everyone had skipped last night in a timely manner....

Thanksgiving got canceled due to my wife being sick but we were supposed to go to my brother-in-laws so now I have to figure out what to do. I have canned pumpkin so I’ll make pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin oat bars.

I have frozen ground turkey, but I’m going to run to the store right now and see what is left. Need at least stuffing

 

[Ben]

Good luck.

Got my son, his mom and her boyfriend over in addition to my wife and two kids. It's a pretty full house.

Also time to slip and slide for pie.

That sounds like a wonderful gathering

 

[Ben]

Pretty cold.

 

[shortkut]

Rain here. Just me, my wife, and the 2 kuttlets

I've got a pre-marinated pork loin waiting for me in the fridge when I get home. Last marinade was solid, I liked the sound of the one I got, so I'm looking forward to it. Didn't want to do turkey or duck this year because I'm working today and tomorrow. So something that I can toss in the oven with no effort is best.

 

[Benzine]

I'm having pizza for dinner.

 

[Ben]

Pie.

2 pumpkin and 2 apple pie are going with the Mrs to Rochester for Friendsgiving, that I won't end up going to. I was, but my son wants to visit after Thanksgiving, so I'll just stay here with him.

 

[dimmerwit]

Pie complete.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

damn, I should have bought one of those single pies. I couldn't find an expiration date and didn't feel comfortable buying them. Too late now.

 

[Ben]

Pie complete.

That looks delicious so I concede quality over quantity.

 

[dimmerwit]

I wouldn’t yet! Haven’t even tried it…

 

[Ben]

I wouldn’t yet! Haven’t even tried it…

Fair... The crust just looks so inviting, but I concede it could be full of rocks.

Delicious rocks.

So uhhh... This liminalcello is just lemony vodka. Not sure what I expected. It made my partner say "woo!" on trying it though, so it seems to turn people into Rick Flair.

I decided to skip Thanksgiving (I don't have extended family in the area and everybody I want to see, I already see on a regular basis) this year, so I'm going to eat some tortellini and play video games. Maybe I'll finish putting together my LEGO helicopter. I have some "magic berry" cider to finish, too.

Should be a fun day for me. I hope the rest of you have as much fun.

Christina's been in the kitchen doing her thing all day.

I am excite.

My parents are visiting my aunt in Texas and my step son is with his dad, so my Thanksgiving is me, my wife, my daughter, my son, three football games and some Dragon Age Veilguard.

I'm thankful I don't have to dress up.

 

[dimmerwit]

Pie review: pretty good! Pastry was fantastic. Filling was nice but perhaps a little thin. Will investigate water content and thickener quantity. Bottom wasn’t too soggy though.

Served with Brexit custard for taste and to horrify the French.

I'll take one of everything please Alu!

What's the secret with your mac and cheese?

IDK, maybe brushing the egg white on top? Or the sugar?

Whilst I've made a few tarts I've never made an enclosed pie before, so it can't be that hard!

I'd invite you if you lived nearby

I dunno really. We use a combination of seriously sharp cheddar, comte, and parmesan cheeses, then found a good quality brown rice pasta for it. After that it's just the right combination of spices. I think this time we included paprika in addition to cayenne and such. We also use lactaid milk instead to keep the lactose low. Gotta make the roux with GF flour obviously, and keep about a quarter of the cheese mix out of the generic cheese sauce to sprinkle in layers when spreading it out to be baked. Then just enjoy it.

But yeah it's GF and essentially lactose free.

 

[Kat]

I appreciate that! I've already turned down multiple invitations though. My plans are completely by choice, don't worry. =]

 

[Benzine]

I got a pie too

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

Oh that menu didn't have the desserts on it. Pumpkin pie, cranberry tart, cherry pie. Plus all kinds of cookies and macarons.

I have pumpkin bread in the oven right now

I can confirm that this was a good call. It was rotisserie marinated pork loin. I really need to buy more of these.

 

[dimmerwit]

I've never had pumpkin pie. Perhaps it'll be my next effort.
