Ya, it's a paid day off

I bought a designer cupcake book and will be baking some fucking awesome looking cupcakes to bring to dinner on Thursday.
Don't even judge because I'm ridiculously good at cooking stuff and these cupcakes will be THE SHIT.

Holy fuck! They look epic!
If I even attempted to make anything along those lines it would look more like scrambled egg than a rubber duck.


The best thing I've ever made were Malteaser squares. They looked like arse biscuits, but holy fuck, they tasted amazing.

Are those gum paste??! So cute!!!

Nope!
They're actually quite simple.
Obviously you start with a cupcake.
Add a donut hole for the shape of it's head, and a diagonally cut marshmallow for the tail.
Secure those with frosting, and smooth the finish so they're seamless.
To get the shiny look, you actually take the frosting and heat it up in the microwave so it's the consistency of whipping cream.
Then you dip the cupcake and let the excess run off.
Let it dry and then obviously add the smaller details like the beak/eyes/etc.

Oh my God those ducks are adorable.

Right?! The duck in the middle actually reminds me of one of the hyenas out of The Lion King movies. Just because it's eyes are far apart and goofy looking.

Most of my Thanksgiving will be spent in the kitchen arguing with my family, getting yelled at for how incompetent I am because I didn't dice the onions right orsumshit, and after hours and hours of heated insults, damaged egos and door slamming, we will all sit down and eat. 
It's tradition.

[Faval]

Nothing.

I'll be enjoying my day off by doing nothing...

Thanksgiving was last month, but I know a lot of people who will be making a trip down south for the black friday sales.
But what I did last month for Thanksgiving was cook a dinner for my family and for those who don't know what it consists of it usually consists of turkey, stuffing and potatoes. More things though. It's actually the first time our family has had a dinner like that because we usually cook different things (Chinese food because of my ethnicity) so it was ... hm... I don't know if I could do it again, too much food imo.
But Canadians seem to love it ha.

Best part of Thanksgiving is having that longweekend. Awwwe ye.

Sounds like a typical American Family Thanksgiving to me lol.

Really? Sounds more like a Latin-American/Italian-American family Thanksgiving to me. I know that's how my family is.

[Lucian]

I thought all the old women did the cooking in Italian culture. xD

[Mishelle]

The best thing about coming from a broken home is that every Thanksgiving I get to go to 2 places to go eat.
I'm staying at my mom's place but I'm also visiting my dad's place on thanksgiving.

[Qwerty54]

As always, going to my parents house. Having a delicious turkey dinner. I will then watch some football, and sleep.

[Lucian]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Spending half the day slaving in the kitchen. x_x

[Lallard]

Some of the guys in my apartment decided to make Turducken before we all left yesterday. I'm a vegetarian so I never got to try that (though they say it tasted manly).

So aside from doing a Turkey Trot at San Jose, it's just a typical pigout dinner potluck with family. Gotta love the American tradition of pigging out.
