I just got into a discussion about this. The big fear campaign against aspartame (which was Splenda at the time, now they use sucralose) still has effects twenty years later, despite the fact that artificial sweeteners have gotten so much better.

Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol. Allulose is literally sugar with no glycemic impact. Stevia and monk fruit are mid but they work in a lot of dishes.

I don't understand why a large mass of people still think aspartame is the only thing out there.

I refuse to make pizza without it from now on

Just like cast iron, redditors are way too precious about this stuff.

Pic related, I bought something like it on a whim. Why am I such a fool?

Maple seasoning and honey so they're sweet

Last year my 'mulled wine spice'-themed Thanksgiving dinner line-up turned out really well so I'm going to repeat it, but I have more people flying in than last year so need to make a turkey in addition to duck, and I forgot the stuffing recipe I followed so any suggestions would be helpful. Any feedback in general would be nice tbh.

Roast Turkey

• Dry brined and roasted the day before. If anyone has a good roast turkey/turkey dry brine recipe please share.

Roasted duck

• Roasted following this recipe but dry brined for 24 hrs with salt, brown sugar, orange peels, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and ginger slices

Stuffing

• Probably a sausage and rustic bread or baguette one. It's hard to go wrong with stuffing but if anyone has a good recipe please share.

Braised red cabbage

• Braised on the stovetop for over an hour with star anise, maybe a slice of ginger, cloves, juniper berries, and whatever I adjust it with.

Honeynut squash puree

• I used sweet potatoes last year, but I'm going to probably use some honeynut squash I grew in containers this year. Or maybe just stick with sweet potatoes and use the honeynut squash for something else.

Braised kale or arugula salad

• Gotta add a green to feel like you're less of a fatass. I'll probably make something easy (the arugula salad last year worked well with everything else) but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. As long as the suggestions don't involve green beans.

Gravy, redcurrent jelly sauce, cranberry sauce

• Gravy made with turkey drippings from the day before, redcurrant jelly sauce made by mixing redcurrant jelly and white wine, cranberry sauce from a jar

Some sort of grocery store dessert

• Maybe I'll be able to find some pumpkin pie

Thoughts? Does anyone have a line-up they're proud of?

Yes that is the actual name of the drink. @FrozenChosen mentioned it the other day and it sounded awful so I picked one up to try.

Visual

I wouldn't normally pour something like this into a glass but I had to see what unholy color it was and it didn't disappoint.

I think it's best described as a cloudy, slightly bloody pink lemonade color.

Smell

Strong artificial strawberry. Think strawberry Nesquik.

Taste

Honestly it isn't as bad as I was expecting. It doesn't have the chemical aftertaste you get from a lot of zero sugar drinks. The fake strawberry flavor isn't overwhelming. I pretty much never drink Monster so I won't be getting it again but I was expecting it to be a lot worse. 6/10.

I finished a bowl of Shin Ramyun Black (w/ only half a package of the spicy powder) and now I'm so warm and sleepy

Gnd beef 90% 3 lb

1 lb garden rotini

1 lb mushroom peppers onions whatever

1 lb tomatoes

1 jar pasta sauce

Boil rotini al dente, chop veggies while you wait, rinse in collander and leave in sink.

add everything but tomatoes and sauce, brown, add tomatoes and cook for like a minute, add back pasta and pour in sauce. Mix and Walla you have something tasty your boytoy can get packed in him at night. Makes a whole giant pot so have one of those.

Later homos.

Have some rye flakes and I'm looking for recipes to use them for. I usually make oatmeal with them, but was wondering if people had any other ideas.

I could only finish 1/3. So much meat, rice, veggies and bread.

The veg was fresh, and the pickles were good. Sauce was spicy.

22 Aud for a giant plate.

I thoroughly enjoy Turkish foods, but not Muzzies.

The End.
