I forgot to get a pic of the entire spread before everyone attacked it, but here's my plate. Turkey, ham, stuffing, Mac n cheese, green beans casserole, yeast roll and cornbread muffin.

Not pictured: candied yams (I have those with dessert ๐Ÿ˜‹)

It looks like a decent meal, the turkey looks good. May I suggest next time don't use flash on your food photo? Try to get better environment lighting instead.

Noted. I could have just adjusted my bulbs (they're smart bulbs) if I had been thinking of something other than how much I wanted to eat lol

Warm / natural light helps, cool lights will make it feel like you're doing surgery on your food

Iโ€™d like to see how you made that plate

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's paper. I just made some pulp, put it in a mold and let it dry, then airbrushed the design on.

The table was way harder.

(jkjk, it looks delicious!)

Lovely. Happy Thanksgiving!

An excellent looking plate! This was our plate.

Clockwise from the cranberry sauce (at 12:00): stuffing/gravy, deviled egg, green bean casserole, maque choux, bourbon glazed carrots, mashed potatoes/gravy, dinner roll, turkey/gravy.

How do you make the mashed potato sauce?

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Take the juices from the turkey, add to a roux, cook until thickened. If you want it thicker faster, you can also use a cornstarch slurry but I personally do not like the texture that forms with gravy.

isn't that just how you make gravy?

[โ€“] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah... That's what the sauce is ๐Ÿคฃ

Now that's the cooking of a tapas fan
