Gwyneth Paltrow's Thanksgiving Dinner Advice

Gwyneth Paltrow recently started a website called GOOP: nourish the inner aspect. (Full confession: I have not been able to determine what "GOOP" stands for. Maybe someone could enlighten us? The best I could get is Gwyn saying, "GOOP is a little bit of everything that makes up my life.") 

Anyway, Gwyneth sends out a newsletter via GOOP, and the latest entry is about preparing Thanksgiving dinner.  How timely! She writes:

Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. I love when everyone comes together and celebrates the idea of gratitude, something we all mean to do every day, but seem to lose sight of most of the time. I also love the cooking – the days of planning and chopping and basting. This year, I decided to work out three variations on the traditional meal: a big group, a small gathering and a cozy dinner for two."

She actually has some interesting suggestions for smaller gatherings, like turkey breast (rather than a full turkey) and stuffed turkey burgers if it's just dinner for two.  This makes sense if you aren't hosting the traditional large family dinner. 

The newsletter entry has three complete menus (one for each variation of the traditional meal) that sound delicious (or at least, the pictures are lovely).  If you're still looking for ideas, then you might want to check it out!

Gwyneth used the incorrect word, "insure," which pertains only to insurance purposes. She should have used the word, "ensure."

maybe she thought insure sounded more British. HA. she'll do anything to appear more "sophisticated" to a regular old American.

Gwyneth has always been reported to be a vegetarian, and she has just apologized for posing with fur, saying that she was "mostly vegetarian". Doesn't look that way to me. Last time she was out she was chowing down seafood, and now she's cooking up turkey. What's the point in lying?

That's what I thought, up until she was doing that food network show where she traveled around Italy with some chef. Looks like she's only a vegetarian when it's convient. Man I don't like her.

Sweet Genevieve, Get YOUR facts straight dear. The series is based in Spain, hence the title of the show "Spain...On The Road Again." ** rolling my eyes **

Not to mention you cannot spell nor have any clue who Mario Batali is? HELLO???? Perhaps you've been living in a cave your entire life. Mario Batali is a famous chef with cookbooks and I believe he had a cooking show on the Food Network. I know, you are used to nicktoons or cartoon network by the way you speak and your lack of knowledge about the real world which shows how immature you are. If you do not like Gwyneth then why are you even commenting? Does bashing Gwyneth help boost your sorrowful self esteem? convient= CONVENIENT!!!! Go back to the third grade and learn how to spell, or do a spell check before you press "Post Comment." If you are trying to outsmart Gwyneth, try to outsmart yourself as well. And while you are looking up how to spell, stop by "Vegetarian" and read the definition of the word. Hav a plesint Terke Dey :)

I thought this bitch was environmentally aware and supposed to be so much smarter and more evolved than the rest of the masses. So why the hell is she advocating turkey flesh when everyone who knows ANYTHING about nutrition and health and the environment knows meat is the old way of doing things. We know better now.

GOOP is actually a name that she took from a series of books written on manners - do a google search - not original concept at all - same author did the poem about rather seeing a purple cow than be one.

Gelett Burgess was an American humorist who wrote the GOOP series - she is nothing if not unoriginal and I think one of his heirs should be suing her sorry pompous ass.

Wow "Jendiggity" is nearly as retarded & delusional as our dear Gwyneth. Humans are omnivores sweetie, we haven't evolved into herbivores no matter what lies you people create to try and convince people your dietary preference should be the only option for everyone. Vegetarians are usually malnourished and their guilt about eating meat is terribly misplaced. Mass meat production is WRONG, for damn sure, people should eat meat from a local butcher and KNOW where that meat comes from. We need it for optimal health, its called the circle of life. Or maybe we day we can prosecute lions, tigers, bears etc and persuade them to go veggie too.

In one of Gwyneth's interviews (I forget which) she had mentioned GooP is a nickname she was given. G for Gwyneth and P for Paltrow. We all have nicknames. My friends called me shells or shelley or michie moo growing up, and they still do!!!! Another thing...being a vegetarian has many benefits and alterations. Vegans absolutely do not consume any sort of animal product nor use or wear an animal product. I myself am considered to be vegetarian, but I do consume Poultry and wear and use animal products. When Gwyneth says she doesn't eat meat, she means red meat or pork. And she says she uses organic poultry when she does eat turkey or chicken or even duck.

Ummm, micheleGPFan: Last time I checked, a vegetarian is not defined as "one who eats poultry." A vegetarian doesn't eat meat, period, and poultry is meat. That's why, even though I don't eat any meat except seafood, I don't call myself a vegetarian. You could say you follow a "semi-vegetarian" diet, but I think most true vegetarians would be pretty insulted to know that someone who eats poultry calls herself a veggie!

Gwyneth is an idiot and doesn't know her head from her ass. True vegetarians won't even eat meat by products like cheese or eggs.

Who does she think she is now, Martha Stewart? Enlightening the poor masses, the peasants. No thanks. She looks down on her country, prefers Britain, let her stay there. I can just picture her trying for a British accept in that nasally twang. Maybe now that Madonna is back in New York, Gwennie follow suit in about a year....
