Ok.

I may have possibly worked out the entire menu for Thursday, but I am being sleepystupid and second-guessing amounts and fighting a general sense of holiday apathy I haven't been able to shake.

* Carmelized onion apple bites
* roasted red pepper, roasted garlic, and plain hummus
* caponata (you'll pry my recipe for that from my cold, dead hands)
* mini eggrolls
* celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese (my brother requested this, sometimes I wonder if we're actually related)

* roasted turkey (duh)
* extra creamy mashed potatoes
* bacon-wrapped green beans
* orange-ginger cranberry sauce (I don't really have a recipe for this, I just throw it together)
* apple and onion stuffing muffins (I don't think I'm doing this as muffins this year; I am, however, adding mushrooms to it like I always do.)
* corn (my brother also requested this and I'm thinking of disowning him over it. He said to me, "Well. See if they have any good looking ears at the store." and I stopped myself from smacking him in the head. It's November, there is no fresh corn. So. I had to buy a can of it. And I really have no idea what to do with it, other than glare at its disgustingness. Canned fucking corn. I swear.)
* cathead biscuits

* pumpkin pie (again, recipe? Cold, dead hands.)
* blackberry lemon clafouti
* maybe a chocolate dessert, I haven't decided.

I eat that celery thing AND I discovered that corn on the cob (microwaved 2 mins per ear!) is an awesome breakfast. Although I think the best application for canned corn is to throw it in a cornbread recipe, or out a window.

Oh my god... I used to do that for breakfast all the time... we'd have barbecues, and if there was corn left over, that'd be my breakfast. How strange to see someone else say that!

Frozen corn is better than canned... cook it in chicken broth with some garlic chunks, a dash of pepper, and a dash of paprika. Drain, remove garlic chunks, serve with butter [garlic-butter optional] and pepper and salt to taste.

It's the only way to eat corn.

Substitute minced garlic for the garlic salt and add chives and you have what my family calls "Killer Mashed Potatoes".

I have an awesome orange ginger cranberry sauce saved in my memories.

You don't need to do anything to canned corn other than plunge it in boiling water briefly to heat.

At least it's not canned CREAMED corn. Barf.
