Thanksgiving 2025

Thanksgiving

Today we look at a Thanksgiving tradition, pumpkin pie.  Above are excerpts from an episode of This Dude Cooks in the Nude, where host Mitch London shows us how to make homemade pumpkin pie.  In the episode, he makes the whole thing from scratch, including making the crust and mixing all the ingredients, including pumpkins that he chopped up and put through the blender, but I edited it down to the pie going into the oven and the delicious finished result.

And speaking of pumpkin pie, look what's on the table, above.  Mouth-watering!

Note: yesterday, Blogger "unpublished" my blog post on Ivy League posture photos part 57, claiming that it violated their community guidelines (which it didn't – it was no different than my previous 56 posts of Ivy League posture photos). 

I asked for yesterday's post to be re-evaluated (hopefully by a human), which took all day, but they finally approved and reinstated the post.  So if you missed seeing my "Ivy League" post yesterday, it's there now.

Today is Thanksgiving, and today's post is about stuffing.  And who better to show us how to do stuffing than Adrian De Berardinis, the Bear Naked Chef (above)?  Adrian started his cooking show in 2015, and unlike conventional cooking shows on TV, Adrian's show was produced online and viewed on YouTube.

The Bear Naked Chef is a bear, and he's (almost) naked on his show, wearing only socks and a skimpy apron that covers his front but not his rear, as you can see in the clip above.

When he's not on his show he's even more naked.  Here he is, at left, in the kitchen with two friends.

Outside the show, there's no need to wear an apron.  Above is a shot from his Twitter page.  Bear naked, indeed!

Here's another rear view.  And that brings us to the stuffing ...

The clip above is from a video of the Bear Naked Chef and a friend showing us how they do stuffing.

Now, who else wants some stuffing?

Thanksgiving

This year we're going to look at what happens behind the scenes for Thanksgiving dinner.  First, of course, there's grocery shopping.

Then getting the oven ready for the turkey.

Then there are all the side dishes to be prepared.

So the cook is busy stirring ...

and tasting ...

and checking the oven ...

and then more stirring ...

and more stirring ...

and more tasting until everything is just right ...

and then it all becomes a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

And afterwards, remember, nothin' says lovin' like something near the oven ...

and Pillsbury says it best!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!

Thanksgiving 2022

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks.  OK, let's get real.  Thanksgiving is all about Thanksgiving dinner.  The video above is from a series of videos by nudist chef Mitch London called This Dude Cooks in the Nude.  This episode is about how to make a deep-fried turkey, and not only that, how to make it indoors without burning your house down.  The original video was rather long, and he spent a lot of time on safety tips.  I edited most of that out, to trim it down to putting the turkey into the fryer and then pulling it out.  So, don't try this at home without seeing his original video with all the safety tips at https://vimeo.com/399461491.

Oh, and be patient.  After about 20 seconds, he gets naked.

There's more to Thanksgiving dinner than turkey.  Here's a short clip from another episode of This Dude Cooks in the Nude in which he makes cranberry relish.

I admire Mitch's confidence in appearing in the nude in these videos, which are visible to the public on Vimeo, because he does not have a porn star body, to put it mildly (dare I say micropenis?)  He is a dedicated nudist, and one of the tenets of nudism/naturism is acceptance of everyone's body.

However, you might appreciate looking at another naked chef.  Adrian De Bernadinis created a cooking show called The Bear-Naked Chef.  In it, he makes all kinds of gourmet dishes.  He's not only naked, he's gay.  Above, in line with our Thanksgiving theme, he is making stuffing.  And yes, I know some of you are thinking you wouldn't mind getting some stuffing from this bear.

On the show, he wears a mini-apron that covers the front but not the back.

But he also has an Only Fans site where he shows his front.  This photo might give you a better idea why he calls himself Bear-Naked.

And unlike the dude who cooks in the nude, there's nothing micro about this bear.

What about dessert?  I did find another This Dude Cooks in the Nude video where he makes pumpkin pie, but I'm guessing you'd rather see this photo of the Bear-Naked Chef, which he captioned, "Want some cake?"

Ah, Thanksgiving, conjuring up images of good things on the table.

A time to get together with friends, like this 1974 photo by Pat Rocco of SPREE members at Chet Sampson's house.

Or a time to get together with family, like these Germans in a 1935 photo.

This year, because of the pandemic, many of us won’t be getting together physically.  But we can always stay in touch by phone, and this year, there's Zoom, as demonstrated by favorite unashamed male FKK lad.

The cook has his own way of kneading the dough.

He's stirring up something good.

And he's checking on the turkey.  Is everyone hungry?

Who wants stuffing?  Raise your hands.  (1942 photo by LIFE photographer Dmitri Kessel.)

This guy looks ready for pumpkin pie.  Or maybe he wants stuffing.

And let’s not forget those who are less fortunate.  Happy Thanksgiving!
