Let the Ingratitude-taking snack commence! Everything you see here is 100% from scratch using fresh ingredients with the exception of the mini Nilla wafers, soup & fried onions used in the casserole, and nut pie crust for the pies. That's a 23lb turkey that was brined for 36 hours. Side dishes are green bean casserole using fresh green beans, cream, and each a can of golden mushroom and shitake & portabella soup; candied sweet potatoes with crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, dark brown sugar, and of course topped with marshmallows; cornbread stuffing with celery, onions, mushrooms, apple, and dried cranberries; banana pudding; cranberry sauce with orange juice as the liquid; gravy; and pumpkin pie made with roasted sugar pumpkins in a nut shell made by Diamond brand. In the essence of Ingratitude-taking I'll be giving some of this to my bestie when he comes over later and he's not allowed to complain or say no because he must partake in the TAKING part of the holiday. Since Ingratitude-taking is all about celebrating without friends and family (unlike it's counterpart Thanksgiving) he has to take his snack home with him and when he gets home he must complain about all the things he DOESN'T have that he wants and complain about all the unhealthy things in his life. Thus we now have a tradition of Ingratitude-taking for future generations! I should add that all this food was made just for me and my boyfriend and the decision to give away part of it was a last minute thing lol
