#thanksgiving asks

[askamykruber]

Hi Amy. Since it’s close to the holidays. What was the handeemens thoughts about their first thanksgiving and Christmas with you guys. I mean, I know there was a thanksgiving episode ( from your story) but I wonder what it was like for them to get to celebrate it for real.

(MrsW: awww thank you for the reference)

Oh, hi again Eclipse!

Hope you'll have a wonderful holiday, and thank you for the ask!

Well, of course that "Mortimer's Handeemen" had a lot of good and great holiday specials, but I am glad that you decided to ask us about our first big holidays as a Handee family.

Just to mention, the holidays were a key to grow closure with the puppets and acted as an encouragement to lower down their guns for once, if you know what I am saying.

Well, to my surprise, Owy wasn't exactly the person who had the best experience with holidays...considering his awful relationship with his parents, specially his dad. He did mention that he used to have a small gift exchange with his younger sister Priscilla before she moved to study law.

Then he spent the rest of his holidays alone until we met. I encouraged him to give it a try and get used to spendin' some quality time with the people who adores.

I'm giving this context since our first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a family was actually what he considered his real first holidays together.

Now, let's get to my favorite rascals!

For thanksgivin'

The concept of thanksgiving was a bit complicated to explain to the puppets. At first, they thought it was a whole day dedicated to just give thanks for everything for an entire day. Riley was the first to go into research and was kind enough to tell the others about the concept in a nice presentation.

That didn't stop Nick from makin' a "thankful" pun to her dismay

Daisy was the most eager to use my mama's recipe book as she offered to help me make the dinner to thanksgivin' while Owy stayed with the rest of the puppets decorating the table and telling them that this was also his first big dinner with a family on his own.

Mortimer was surprisingly in a good mood, and so was Riley as she eagerly talked with Rosco that if felt since havin' a sense of peace and belongin' like the old good times.

I'm afraid to know what she meant by that, but it was disheartenin'

Anyways, Scouty help me carry the food to the table and we had a nice turkey. We decided to break the ice by saying something that we're thankful for.

Apparently the sock puppets were glad not to eat rats for once....yikes

The automatons were glad to get to see a giant turkey to eat. They were charmed by the pictures Riley show them during the presentation.

Scout was thankful for the food.

Nick was thankful that he got to sit next to my Owy

Daisy was thankful for trying new recipes

Riley said she was thankful for researching more about the host world and, according to her, their "unnecessary but cute customs".

Mortimer muttered that he was thankful for making a peaceful deal with his father

I said that I was thankful for a bright new start for everyone, but my favorite thing that I heard from everyone was from my Owey-bear,

He just said that he was thankful for not being alone again.

-

Now, for Christmas.

Let me tell you that Owy and the puppets were as happy as little kids durin' the time to open their presents...for an exception to our dear puppet atheist Riley, who at first rolled her eyes and called it a "Consumerist host thingy"

Owey was eager about the idea of just being a kid again and enjoy the childhood he never had....let's say that he had to stay at home for 'bout to weeks due to catching a cold after playing with the snow (Phantom: I'll say he acted like Flint during the snowball fight lol)

Nick found a liking to Christmas carols and *sigh* Maria Carey's covers....

"We hid the CDs for the good of our eardrums. We could not bear any second of hearing the stupid "All I want from Christmas is you" for the 10th in a day"

Thanks...Scouty....

Anyways, Daisy and the other puppets were exited to decorate the studio with Christmas decorations and *snorts* decided to make a puppet tree with puppet related things as decorations. Rosco was a great help.

Mortimer, he was rather quiet but I found out that he spent most of his free time watchin' or readin' "A Christmas Carol", he tended to rewind the tapes to Mr. Scrooge having a nice dinner with the Crachits.

Maybe he was thinkin' of Owy, who knows.

Now, our little Grinch-y Ruckus did get to like Christmas after Owy and I gave her some books by Dr. C.W Lewis, a friend and colleague of Dr. Tolkien.

She had to hide her excitement when she realized Daisy and Nick were smirkin' at her knowin' she was provin' her point.

She pretended to huff and said that "Perhaps this host thing you call Christmas is tolerable to an extent"

The next year she dressed Rosco as a reindeer, who I am sure the Christmas spirit got her as well.

What are Ian and Mickey grateful for this year?

Oh, I love this question! They said some of these at the Thanksgiving table, and some only to each other.

Ian:

Mickey's ass (“Fuck off, you said that last year too!” “I'm grateful for it every year! ☺️”)

His garden

Fred and Franny for making him the happiest uncle

Their heated pool (and fireplace). For various reasons.

Mickey. For being his bestfriend. For taking care of him. For always listening to his jokes that he claims to hate. For making him happy.

Mickey:

Franny for being the coolest kid. Fred for puking and pooping on Lip.

The blowjob chair

That he falls asleep and wakes up to Ian holding him.

Liam for being the only smart Gallagher. And for being into dinosaurs.

Ian's freckles. His dorky smile. His arms that can lift him up easily.

That he's married to Ian who makes him feel safe and loved and warm every fucking day.

I want to see Kagami Taiga on thanksgiving

Kagami is a little interesting because of his appetite already but also thanks to growing up in America would be VERY well practiced in Thanksgiving eating practices in the United States. 

Because of all of that I’m VERY certain that he knows all the tricks and that it’s what he still considers one of the biggest eating holidays of the year. I think he would have a count down and loudly let everyone know it was coming too and maybe even fast for a couple days in advance to be able to handle even more. 

Honestly, he’s one character I absolutely see being able to eat a family sized Thanksgiving on his own and probably has done so for several years at this point. He would increase his portion sizes every year so it’s still a challenge. His family is probably used to it at this point but considering how he is with the steak challenge, I’m pretty sure he could eat a family sized turkey on his own picked clean, no problem. In fact, he might have a few of them. 

But because he’s one to prepare, he makes sure he’s wearing sweat pants so he can stretch his belly out, a VERY loud burper regardless of company, and always eats so much that he’s groaning and moaning in pain and trying to let out small sickly burps because his belly is so tight but he’s eaten it all. For about 2 hours. Then he’s back up and in the kitchen looking for more to eat in the cupboards. In the end, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kagami ate himself into a food coma with his belly out and his shirt all the way ridden, having fallen asleep with friends or family watching a basketball game on TV.

Oooh, Thanksgiving food question: do you make rolls by hand? Or do you buy rolls already baked and just heat them up? Please divulge any bread-related Thanksgiving tips!

We make by hand! Thanksgiving is a BIG FUCKIN DEAL in my family, and while I have no problem with like...some great bread from a bakery, we do it ourselves, on Thanksgiving. 

My mom actually makes the rolls! My mom and I have done Thanksgiving dinner together since I was a little girl, we were always the two up early and making everything together, and some of my favorite memories are being in the kitchen with her. Now, we live together still, but she has her basement apartment, and we’re up and down and helping each other all day, but we definitely have assignments, and the rolls are my moms. Jetty LOVES mom’s rolls. 

I wrote her and asked for the recipe this morning, and here’s what she gave me. They’re a quick rise roll, so not too bad. 

3 3/4 - 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 Tbsp rapid rise yeast

1 1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup cool water

2/3 cup milk

4 Tbsp unsalted butter, diced into 1 Tbsp pieces, plus more for tops

1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

2. In the mixer bowl whisk together 4 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt.

3. in a bowl add water, milk and butter and heat in microwave  until it reaches 120 degrees on a thermometer, about 1 minute 15 seconds. Stir to partially melt butter.

4. Pour milk mixture into dry mixture in bowl of electric stand mixer along with lemon juice.

5. Set mixer with a hook attachment then set mixer on low speed and gradually increase to medium-low, knead about 3 – 4 minutes until smooth and elastic while adding additional flour as necessary (dough should be kinda sticky but manageable).

6. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.

Drop dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into an evenly level square, about 9 by 9-inches. Cut into 16 equal portions (don't have to be exact)

Shape dough into 15 balls, while using excess dough from the 16th portion to add to smaller rounds as needed, and place shaped dough portions into prepared baking dish.

Dampen hands with water and brush tops of dough with the water (just so they don't dry while rising in oven). Transfer to oven, close oven and turn oven off, allow rolls to rise 20 minutes (don't open oven door).

Remove from oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees (this should take about 5 minutes, so just allow rolls to rest on counter while oven preheats).

Bake in preheated oven 14 - 16 minutes until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and run the top of a stick of butter along tops of rolls just to coat. Serve warm. Store in an airtight container (I recommend rewarming cool rolls in microwave

MIke makes traditional croissants, which I love but cannot even BEGIN to tell you have to go about doing, holy shit.

A portal opens up above Ryder's dinner table, and from another dimension, a perfectly cooked Thanksgiving Turkey is lowered. A note is tied to an extra wishbone laid against the side of the bird:

Ryder,

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

Sincerely,

Your friends at Duel Academy

A smile spread across her face when Kali read the note. Having met Jackson during the cruise that the harem had taken over the summer. It was adorable watching him trying to bond with Belle over Halloween, and the few days after. The smell of the turkey was amazing, like it had sat on a smoker for hours. She knew the large family was going to love it! 

Setting her own turkey between the one prepared by Jackson, and the one prepared by Ryder, she was just about to call everyone into the dining hall, when two more plates floated down onto Kali’s large dinner table. A beautifully made apple pie, and a massive plate of mochi.

Ryder’s friends at Duel Academy were certainly going to make sure the large family was going to be well fed.
