You might have crossed the line to a ranch house. We have a double wide, a single wide and a bunk house. Nuevo Appalachian-American motif.

November 25, 20223 yr Shits starting to get weird. Blood sugar coma, bourbon in hand, cowboys kicking the shit of the giants on tv, wife and her sisters singing killing me softly on karaoke machine. I really like this post. Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Nothing special, Makers I dug out from the FILs liquor cabinet. And despite my protests, the wife would not package up some turkey for snack sandwiches at home before we left. So was relegated to reheating some cheese enchiladas and venison chili when we got home.
November 25, 20223 yr Turducken which came with cornbread stuffing, regular stuffing, sweet potato casserole, oyster bake, white lily biscuits, mince pie, pumpkin pie, and a pre-karo syrup pecan pie under the merengue. Missed the roasted brussels Edited November 25, 20223 yr by elfenix

Turducken What is this thing? Never has a culinary item caused such a commotion! Imagine taking a deboned turkey, duck & chicken and combining them to make one entrée! Only the wing bones on the turkey remain for aesthetic purposes. For a healthier product, we remove the fat and skin from the chicken & duck. These three meats are then separated by layers of homemade stuffing. This mouth-watering delight is seasoned with La Boucherie's special blend of seasonings. Slice through it like a cake. So easy to bake and serve!

November 25, 20223 yr Just the two of us this year. Cornish Game Hen, dressing and gravy. Dressing made from a Cajun friends old family recipe and tweaked a bit over the years.
November 27, 20241 yr In the middle of moving, and want to be completely in by 5pm on Saturday. We are doing Perry's Steakhouse in the Woodlands, we're so freaking tired already. No mess, good wine and their Thanksgiving menu.
November 28, 20241 yr 31 people at my folks place. Went hard on desserts. Happy Thanksgiving fuckers!
November 29, 20241 yr Crown Roast of Pork, finished chop style, with all the fixings made for a fun mixup:

Pecan pies especially. I broke a several year stretch of damn good pecan pies this year when this years pie decided to barf all the egg/sugar filling over the pie edges. Thankfully I have learned to place a tinfoil drip catch on the lower rack. The suger/smoke mess had I not would have been a gathering ruiner. Made up for it with some collards that truly fucked. Got my hands on two meaty smoked pork shanks and the greens/meat ratio was sublime.
November 29, 20241 yr Was just me, my wife, and my dad this year (the kids don’t come home from overseas for t-giving). None of us are huge turkey fans, so we ditched traditional Thanksgiving, and went to Eddie V’s, which 1) was PACKED, and 2) delivered, as always. Seriously, I e never had a miss there.Started with oysters and Caesar salad, and then these:For real….one of the best thanksgiving meals we’ve ever had. Eat what you want.

November 10Nov 10 2025 Stunt Turkey is on the books. Dark meat vacuum sealed and frozen for gumbo. White meat vac-sealed and frozen to give to a family we help out. Bones and carcass are going into the stock I'll make tomorrow and freeze. Drippings separated from the fat, poured over the roasted veg, and frozen to be used for the gravy. The process has begun.
November 10Nov 10 Author My DiL entered a charity raffle and won a quarter of a wagyu steer. I’m expecting a fine ass Thanksgiving. Hopefully the quarter is more than the head, legs, and tail.

November 10Nov 10 35 minutes ago, luke duke said: Is that a turkey for ants? It's a 10 lb turkey purchased to harvest bones for stock and and to collect drippings because I want to make things ahead of time with these ingredients. Unfortunately, I don't keep a small roasting pan around. So, yeah, it looks, how should I say, unimpressive in its girth. But one of those drums had a nice crisp on one side, and the dogs and I suitably were impressed. /TLDR. Yes, it's a turkey for ants. Edited November 10Nov 10 by dcbc
November 10Nov 10 I was gifted a chunk of moose backstrap this year since I didn’t catch one this hunting season. Since it’s only Mrs. Moose and I, the plan is to make a batch of yeast rolls and have chicken fried backstrap sliders. Lettuce and tomato available if you want it “Dude Style,” or a bowl of cream gravy for dipping. Chocolate pecan pie for dessert.

November 11Nov 11 On this Veteran's Day, thanks to all of you who served our country honorably and selflessly. I will attempt to honor you by making the most bangin' pre-Turkey-Day brown stock ever. In addition to the carcass and bones of the turkey-for-ants above (a/k/a Stunt Turkey), which have taken a trip through the air fryer to roast up, I also roasted many reserved and frozen bones from pork shoulders, pork ribs, and two tomahawk ribeyes. Roasting some garlic, onions, and carrots now (celery goes in raw) and will be spending my time off today simmering all of the goodness out of this barnyard, skeletal cornucopia, which ultimately will end up in dressing, gravy, and gumbo. Pictures incoming. Edited November 11Nov 11 by dcbc

November 12Nov 12 After about eight hours, I had nearly 4 gallons of stock. I think I'm good for a while. My house will smell amazing for a week.
