Piggy backing off a post from earlier:
I saw a comment that somebody doesn’t have appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner. And for some reason that’s all I’ve been able to think about for the last few hours, lmao!
So my question is, do you guys have appetizers before the main meal?? I can’t imagine having everyone stand around without having chips, dips, cheese, crackers, charcuterie, deviled eggs, ect before hand.
What happens during that time? Just talking? Am I a complete fat ass that just can’t wrap my head around not having food before the main meal? 🤣
Happy Thanksgiving prepping, beauties! ❤️🍂
I have lil snacks and margaritas til everyone gets here cause we are all greedy asses lol. And if you're too late, we start eating without you 🤷🏾♀️🤣
I’m lucky that nobody shows up late in my fam. But we also eat at 5pm so I tell everyone 3pm. Then we snack / chat / play games until dinner time.
I couldn’t imagine not snacking’
@jennatess oh well my kind works on CP Time so there's ALWAYS some late comers lol. We play games also....but we eat way earlier and all day lol
I'm a germ freak so I never offer appetizer because to be honest I don't want our family's nasty paws all in the food im eating. Im so bad I will make my plate and set it aside and my sons all before anyone touches the food. Also we only eat food my parents make if its my sister ,brother or in laws we don't touch it we see how they live...they smell in person 🤮
@jennatess yes thats why I don't do any foods before the meal and to be honest I don't like eating with them at all
@mom2godzillaandwonkypets, that’s super unfortunate. 🤢
@jennatess yeah lol I didn't luck out with clean siblings haha
Not only do we have so many appetizers, but we also have a huge, over the top breakfast while we watch the parade. And then of course way too many desserts after dinner. We pretty much just eat all day long
My mom never had appetizers. She would starve us til the food was ready. 🤣
I consider that child abuse.
(Jk! Lol, but my hungry ass would die.)
@jennatess, we used to snack on things but for the most part we waited. Luckily my mom would cook in a timely fashion. 🤣
We always have appetizers for any holiday/party.
We eat dinner around 5:00/5:30 and we always have appetizers. Even if I was just having company over I would have appetizers.
Nope. We eat breakfast then starve ourselves the rest of the day. 🤣Can’t imagine eating appetizers cause we’d get full too quickly !
But do you have guests over? That’s what I’m confused on, lol.
I’d be soooo confused if I went to a thanksgiving and there weren’t apps.
@jennatess, I’d be confused and a little peeved lol. Where’s my charcuterie board?!
If we have company. We always have appetizers
Appetizers galore in my house. It’s my favorite part of thanksgiving tbh.
Growing up, we never had appetizers. 🤷🏼♀️ The meal was ready about 12:30pm.
I could definitely understand that then.
Everyone shows up between 12-3pm and then we eat at 5.
No appetizers, water or alcohol either. Unless you bring your own shit. Im kidding. We do just not deviled eggs. Usually a fruit and veggie platter, chips, guac, hummus, cheese, etc.
Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. Just depends on who is coming and how many Thanksgivings in one night everyone has to go to.
We always do appetizers because people are never on time. We always end up eating later than planned so I or whoever is hosting puts out at least one or two things for people to snack on while people get organized
My family always has the full spread like you described, my granny even had little mince pies when she hosted. Since we're just doing a small Thanksgiving with the 3 of us, we will eat earlier and it will be a bit simpler, but we will be munching all day. I'd be so mean if I didn't eat all day.
Always! Even at birthday parties I have appetizers 😂
I was thinking about just making a ham instead of a turkey its my first year cooking thanksgiving dinner and I have to do it alone. Plus I've never made a turkey before.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
