We're excited that we politely declined from any part of Thanksgiving this
year. We're on our own. It's awesome! Every time we're invited to the
"familiy's" house (which is really my hubby's step-dad's family) we're
expected to cook, so we declined. Let them ruin the turkey this year by
putting it in the oven instead of us smoking it. Ha!

I found a 12lb. turkey in the deep freeze (which REALLY needs to be
cleaned out). I thawed it in the fridge for 3 days and I'm roasting it
tonight. I'm not doing anything fancy with it. Rub it with oil, S&P and
stuffing the cavity with lemon, fresh rosemary, celery and onion. I'll
be serving some fresh mashed, frozen peas and the rest of the broccoli
and cauliflower. Turkey gravy and rolls will also be on hand.

I guess I'm gearing up for Thanksgiving 😉 We'll have 22 family members
and friends this year. It's the first time in 3 years I've been able to
do it. I'm excited!

Roast chicken with cornbread dressing, mashed taters, and asparagus. This
morning I made a *gelatin* salad! Made with cider, apples, celery, pecans,
cranberries, and unflavored gelatin (no Jell-o). I baked an egg custard
pie for dessert.

Not a clue, but I do pretty much the same traditional meal every year.

I'm getting tired of turkey for thinksgiving, I'm pretty sure this year
I'll do a fresh ham... still have the usual baked yams and cranberry
sauce, but regardless whether it's turkey or not, I do a huge panful of
kasha vanishkas w/'shrooms... I really don't like any kind of bread
stuffing.

Did turkey last two years, this time it's fresh ham.

Ham sounds good for a change. We've been thinking about a turkey and then
a roast of some kind. Not sure yet. Kasha sounds yummy too. Maybe I'll
smoke a giant brisket. One never knows what'll come out of my kitchen.

We do for next weekend which is the Canadian Thanksgiving - this coming
weekend. We will be away with other boaters so won't be celebrating
with our family. I'm bringing de-boned turkey, gravy, & fresh cranberry
sauce. On the Sat of this weekend they are holding an early Hallowe'en
dress-up contest so I'm thinking it is going to be a bit of a bizzar
weekend. We may go to DS's on the Mon if we are home in time. All the
kids are coming home to celebrate Thanksgiving here the following
weekend so it will be a real feast 🙂

I'm dining out for Thankgiving. One meal (Saurday will be ham) I'll supply
a mixed berry crisp. And on the Sunday meal (a turkey) I am thinking a
trifle. Thanksgiving is next Weekend for me as I'm Canadian ane we have
ours earlier than most folks.

why not try frying a turkey Sheldon...there's no such thing as "dry
overcooked" when you fry the bird and take it out of the hot peanut
oil as soon as it reaches 175F. If you're careful you won't even catch
your backyard on fire!

Oh Gawd... Don't burn his yard down. It's fantastic and feeds lots of
critters.

I copped a duck at the market yesterday. I plan to smoke it unbrined using
Gourmet lump with orange for smoke. DW and I agreed on candied yams,
broccoli and chuckwagon
beans (well seasoned pinto beans). We'll have the usual Thanksgiving sides
including cornbread dressing and cranberry sauce.

Not sure what I'll make. There may be more people than last year, and
I'm doing a buffet rather than sit-down this time, so I will probably
make more food. Last year was a 20-pound turkey. Maybe turkey and ham,
and of course lots of veggie options. Mama Stamberg's cranberry relish,
of course, as well as homemade cranberry sauce (jelled and berried),
stuffing, potatoes (white and sweet -- might mash the sweet this year
and make the white some other way), salad, some kind of cooked veggie,
and bread. And in my family, it's not Thanksgiving without a lot of
relish-tray stuff (olives, pickles, stuffed celery, etc.) and a big bowl
of unshelled mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, filberts, almonds, pecan, and
Brazil nuts).
