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 10 points 11 months 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.

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah... That's what the sauce is ๐Ÿคฃ

Now that's the cooking of a tapas fan
