November 27, 20205 yr Stuffing vs Dressing. Do any of y’all do dressing instead? Same concept but the consistency is way better. Probably my favorite food on thanksgiving

November 27, 20205 yr NY strip steak mashed potatoes fresh green beans with garlic( from produce section, cut ends and blanche and then sauté until perfectly al dente with lots of butter) sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions for on top of steak Malbec wine rested in a pitcher for full peppery flavor coffee with Irish Cream liqueur from County Cork. I wish I had pie but this alone is a delish dessert. Edited November 27, 20205 yr by burntorangebongos

Probably my favorite food on thanksgivingMy step mom bakes it in muffin tins. This serves two purposes: each stuffing muffin is a reasonable serving size, and it never gets too mushy.

November 27, 20205 yr Damn, wish I had thought of doing this. Love some cheesy ass broccoli casserole. I fucked up on the recipe and thought it would be shit and it ended up being the best side that everyone raved about. Better than green bean casserole to me but the wife wanted it.

Took a huge chuck out of the knuckle on my middle finger. It happened fast. The cut didn't hurt too much, but I wrapped the damn thing in gauze because I refused to spend Christmas at the ER. Gauze dried to the cut. Getting it off was one of the most painful things I can remember, even six Boulevardiers in. I went to the doctor the next day and he had to use some foam dressing to get the bleeding to stop. It took six weeks for the wound to fully heal. The next year I just sliced the potatoes with a knife. Turned out great. Edited November 27, 20205 yr by Seasick Sailor

Wife mixed it up a little bit and sauteed some portabella and shiitake mushrooms in butter, working them into the cream of mushroom and I'll be damned if it wasn't the most legit green bean casserole ever.
November 27, 20205 yr Great thread. Well done all you assholes. Shit got hectic so didn’t get the whole spread but here’s the spatchcocked and smoked bitd.
November 27, 20205 yr Cocktail Hour: Cranberry-Range Spritz Cider Whiskey Sour Dinner: Buttermilk brined turkey Brioche stuffing with chestnuts and figs Fiery sweet potatoes (basically mashed sweet potatoes made with red curry and coconut milk) Cider-glazed brussels Cranberry-orange jelly (Port, Grand Marnier, and fresh cranberries molded into Darth Vader (fingers crossed it comes out)) Parker House rolls (scratch) Galatoire's sweet potato cheesecake Wine (Not sure which ones yet) I might be by myself with the dogs (might have a neighbor or two pop over), but I will eat well. Fuck COVID.Ended up just drinking wine at cocktail hour, but I've tried those cocktails this week, and they are tasty.The only thing I ended up not making was the rolls. Just too much proving and other stuff to do.
November 27, 20205 yr After pic wasn’t worth it. The skin on the breasts completely dissolved away so it wasn’t much to look at. I assume the butter contributed to that since that’s never happened with any other bird I smoked.

Sensation salad, jello salad (courtesy of very extended-family Nebraskans), taters, brussels, lobster mac and cheese, Perini Ranch smoked tenderloin (only "cheat" item). And the best part - I didn't have to cook any of it. I don't know about your specific offering, but as someone who married into midwestern Nebraska farm folk, there are some legit righteous gelatin salads out there. You're going to have to trust me on this one.
November 27, 20205 yr Traditional t-day meals are my favorite get together of the year. We skipped town and went to the beach this year rather than get together with family (several work in healthcare) with the local COVID outbreaks. State championship football game is next week also and everyone was supposed to make an effort to stay quarantined, so we packed up. Cooked a ham, stuffing, potatoes, and a few other sides but it just wasn’t the same.

I think this one is red jello with mostly bananas and strawberries - sandwiching whipped cream.
November 27, 20205 yr jello salad is for children.Yeah, it’s one Midwestern cliche that I hate, and that my family thankfully isn’t into.Fucking everyone else though...

November 27, 20205 yr Post Thanksgiving breakfast. Sausage and mushroom quiche and dressing waffle. Later, make a dressing waffle sammich with turkey, cranberry sauce and top with gravy. Diabetes is worth it.

November 29, 20205 yr Had Thanksgiving at the in laws yesterday. BIL smoked a brisket, and we also smoked a queso/sausage/Hatch chili dip.I scrambled some brisket eggs and smothered the potatoes with the queso dip. And of course some bacon for good measure. Made a brisket egg burrito topped with homemade salsa. Did the bacon first and fried up the potatoes and then the brisket eggs in the grease.One of my best ideas in awhile
November 29, 20205 yr Bacon seems a bit floppy. 9/10 would smash. That’s how I roll. Unless I’m using it as an ingredient in something, I refrain from crispy.
November 30, 20205 yr I’m team soft/chewy bacon over burnt/crispy bacon but that needed a few more minutes Edited November 30, 20205 yr by Fat Bastard
November 30, 20205 yr There is a fine line between browned but still chewy bacon and the dark browned bacon that breaks into a bunch of little pieces when you bite into it. The latter is terrible and the former is glorious.
