    SLop enters our view with a horse (no nag jokes, please). Hmm, they seem
    to be using extra gauze and Vaseline on the lens this week. SLop babbles
    on and on about being thankful for things this time of year, yada yada
    yada. I'm just thankful I'm not eating at her place for Thanksgiving.
    Gosh, I hope Lady's not on the menu!

    We cut to the obligatory tablescape and OMG! There's a maimed pheasant
    on the table!

    We return to SLop walking into the faux pantry holding a wreath and
    wearing a fur coat of some sort, no doubt a present from The Wallet and
    starts to blah blah blah about having a nice ride. I am guessing that
    she meant on Lady the horse, but I doubt that nag can manage that, and
    when I say "nag", I meant SLop.

    SLop tells us how to make her best marinade, then immediately calls it a
    rub. What the fuck? SLop fetches a big brandy sniffer of boozed-up
    coffee in the fridge and starts to chug. She tells us she'll show us how
    to make it later.

    SLop's "tip": Clean the bones or they'll burn. Make the butcher do it if
    it's beyond your ability.

    SLop's marinade is a rub made of herb dip and peppercorn seasoning,
    mixed with worchester sauce. SLop confides that she cannot pronounce it.
    Yes, we already know you can't say it, bitch. Remember, you confided
    this to us last time you used it and at the beginning of the French
    Farce ep. SLop mixes it up with a fork instead of something sensible,
    like a spoon.

    Whoah! Stunt rub! The rub is suddenly all mixed up and heaped into a
    corner of the pan. it's also considerably darker than it was a few
    seconds ago.

    SLop's "tip": The butcher can tie the roast up for you. This is what,
    the THIRD time you've told us this?

    SLop smears the rub on meat, with a fork.

    SLop tells us that crown roast feeds a lot of people and is elegant. You
    can even serve it in addition to the turkey!

    SLop's "tip": Cover bone tips with aluminum foil so they don't burn (or
    use tiny chef hats) SLop couldn't find any for some reason in ten stores
    (yet she manages to find "truffle oil" and other weird ingredients), so
    she's using aluminum foil this time. Real classy lookin', SLop.

    SLop's "tip": Take the foil off the bones before serving!

    SLop starts to work on the stuffing. She tells us to take some spicy
    Italian sausage, remove it from the casings, and crumble it. SLop puts
    the split sausage into the pan and then starts removing the contents
    from their casings. Yes, IN THE PAN. She then crumbles it with a fork
    and adds condensed golden mushroom soup, which makes it "creamy and
    delicious" (why does she always describe food with those two words?).
    Oh, she forgot to include "salty" too. SLop then kicks it up a notch by
    adding a can of chicken stock. Wow, looks like diarrhea...

    SLop pulls out a fully-cooked roast and sets it aside to rest. "Mmmm,
    very nice!"

    SLop dumps a packet of instant mushroom onion soup mix and parsley for
    the stuffing. She likes dried herbs because they are stronger, which is
    why she uses them. Once the sauce thickens she dumps half a package of croutons into the mix and makes extra for snacking on later. She then
    scoops the vomitous stuffing into the crown roast. SLop adds a little
    water into the bottom of the pan so when the juices dry up the pan will
    still be moist. Whatever. SLop then proceeds to put the pan back into
    the oven but has trouble opening the door with the pan in her hands.
    SLop's touret's kicks in and she lets out a loud "I need a third hand. Whoooot!" as she clumsily gets the pan into the oven. She then promises
    to show us how to make her pumpkin spice cake with "Ball leaf nose
    scrape".

    We fade to a promo for "Let's Talk Turkey!". Hmm, no sign of SLop to be
    seen anywhere...

    SLop tells us we need canned pumpkin and orange liquor to make a good
    spice cake. She pulls out the roast again to await its final fate. SLop
    mixes up a package of yellow cake mix and a package of spice cake mix.
    She takes the spice package which is normally used for the bundt cake
    "swirl" and dumps it into the mix. SLop breathlessly announces her
    secret ingredient: pumpkin pie spice. Hmm, a copper-colored KA mixer.

    SLop then butters the pan with a stick of butter. SL loves the shapes of
    bundt pans and takes out the extra stuffing from the oven. She then adds
    flour to the Teflon pan to coat it. Hmm, kinda heavy on the butter and
    flour there... She then adds one cup of canned pumpkin to the mix. SLop explains that she added the flour in pan because it helps the cake dough
    rise. Moron.

    While the cake bakes, she works on the glaze. She puts a MV cake onto a cooling rack and mixes OJ and one whole big bag of powdered sugar with a whisk. She then adds OJ liquor (beware of open flames) and then colors
    it with 20 drops of yellow food coloring and 4 drops of red to make it
    orange. Unfortunately, it's the same color as Cheeze Whiz. NO SLop, that
    is NOT a perfect pumpkin orange color! I guess it doesn't matter anyway
    since it's going to be a centerpiece. She takes another break before
    showing us how to make the "No gay bow kay". ANOTHER break? Criminy! She
    puts the brown crown roast on a brown serving plate and just HAS to
    taste the drippings. She has a little orgasm in her mouth but alas,
    she's not going to make it into gravy this time.

    We cut to a yet ANOTHER commercial break and hmm, those Helman's recipes
    look so much better than SLop's concoctions. Heh. Then we see a promo
    for Half Baked SLop. Hmm, I just noticed she looks SO stoned out of her
    gourd at the end, where she's sitting next to a bunch of giant lollipops wearing a pink sweater with the hair mussing her hair as she stares
    vacantly into space...

    We return to the show and SLop announces "Happy Thanksgiving COCKTAIL
    TIME!" as the now familiar pop-up graphic reveals itself. SLop announces
    she's going to make a hot apple cider toddie. What about that iced
    coffee you promised earlier? SLop heats up cider and two big shots of
    whisky (warning us about any open flames nearby), then takes a stick of
    butter and mixes it with some nutmeg and cinnamon and ground cloves and
    brown sugar in the copper KA mixing machine. SLop likes the butter
    because it makes the drink rich and delicious. Yeah, what HAVEN'T you described as "rich and delicious"? She then dumps the butter mixture
    into glasses with a cinnamon stick and embellished with leaves. Hmm, she didn't use clothespins, thank gawd. She mixes some pumpkin pie spices
    and graham cracker crumbs as a topping. For a drink? The hell? SLop
    takes one tub of coolwhip and mixes in some rum extract. I am totally
    shocked that she didn't put it into another container to do this. SLop explains that there's no need to mess up another bowl and that the
    extract will makes the coolwhip taste fresh. SLop then dumps the cider
    into a measuring cup, then into the heatproof cognac glasses. Didn't you
    just tell us not to use more dishes than necessary?
    She then adds a dollop of coolwhip to each one and sprinkles the graham cracker mix over it. Gag me with a spoon. A dessert cocktail!

    SLop walks to the tablescape with a goblet of her "dessert cocktail" in
    each hand and sets them down. She then shows us how to make that "no gay
    foze scape": Take some leaves and bundle them with berry wire, then add
    some roses, clipping long ends with a pair of pliers (I would use
    scissors myself) and shoving the whole thing into the center of the
    cake. I feel sorry for that poor pheasant thing on the table. She also recommends using the extra berry wire and a leaf around the stems of
    your glassware to make a beautiful glass that everyone will love. Ewww! There's a shot of the glass filled with what looks like vomit streaked
    with something white! She used umber colored tablecloth with matching
    napkins so everything matches. SLop then shows us her lovely pheasant centerpiece that she embellished with leaves and feathers, except it's ghastly. Why didn't she use a TURKEY, for gawd's sake? SLop says she's
    going to be serving the supper (which consists of crown roast and that
    nasty cider) buffet-style, but for some reason put place settings at the
    same table as the food. Idiot. Anyhow, SLop announces she has to refill
    her cups (for "Colleen", I guess) and sways as she closes out with a
    lame variation of her "Keep it semi-homemade" line.
