The 10 Best and Worst Dishes at Thanksgiving
Youtube

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, my friends. Get out your stretchy pants and leave your belt at home because you know it'll only feel too tight after eating way too much food (but you won't be having any regrets at all and for sure will do it again next year). Paired with the turkey are some of the best dishes that your family members know how to make, and God bless them for it. But of course, not all side dishes were created equally. Some of them reign supreme among the other side dishes, while others sit and stay cold at the table cause THEY'RE DISGUSTING. (In the words of Beyoncé: I ain't sorry). So, which dish is ranked where on the Thanksgiving Food Chain? Well, here is the rank of the best 5 and worst 5 side dishes at the Thanksgiving table.


Worst Dish #5: Beets

Honestly, I can't even stand the smell of beets; keep them away from the Thanksgiving table, they don't belong here.


Best Dish #5: Corn Pudding

Corn pudding seriously makes me feel #blessed. It can be sweet, it can be more salty, it can be AMAZING. Bless you, corn pudding.


Worst Dish #4: Baked Carrots

Carrots should not be soft and mushy. I'm going to repeat that for the people in the back, CARROTS. SHOULD. NOT. BE. SOFT. AND. MUSHY.


Best Dish #4: Macaroni and Cheese

Delicious, cheesy goodness, YES LORD I AM THANKFUL FOR MACARONI AND CHEESE.


Worst Dish #3: Peas

I know maybe like 5 people total who actually enjoy eating peas - so why do they keep showing up at Thanksgiving? Go away, peas, no one even invited you here.


Best Dish #3: Apple Pie

All while I'm sitting there eating my turkey, I'm dreaming about dessert. More specifically, I'm dreaming about some apple pie in my belly.


Worst Dish #2: Pureed Squash

Get out of here with this stuff showing up looking like a pudding imposter - or more like looking up something the dog threw up. Boy BYE.


Best Dish #2: Rolls

Homemade, store bought, french, sourdough, white, wheat, with sesame seeds, without sesame seeds, croissants, baguettes - I don't care what kind of bread it is, I just want it and I want it now.


Worst Dish #1: Brussel Sprouts

These little things don't even look good, literally why do people consume there? And why do they think they should be present on the table at Thanksgiving?


Best Dish #1: Stuffing (The artist formerly known as Dressing)

It smells delicious, it looks delicious, it IS delicious. Stuffing is seriously a blessing to every Thanksgiving table it is on.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope even if you don't enjoy all the dishes on the table, you enjoy the company sitting around it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
