Indeed. Oyster dressing/stuffing was a favorite of my dad and his side of the family.

Which is weird 'cause dad grew up on a Iowa farm in the Great Depression. He moved here to Florida (Gainesville) in the late 50s/early 60s as did his parents (Brooksville).

How the heck would poor Iowa farm folk know about oysters of the non-rocky-mountain variety?

Just the wife and I so we did Lobster. F turkey!

Happy Turkey Day, guys! My family friends cooked me a bird with mash, sweet potatoes, dressing, veges... I am thankful for great friends, and that my mom is on the mend!

MY DV buddy Steve did sign a model's release:cool:

We aren't big fans of turkey. Wife manages a retail store, all hands on deck Black Friday, so we ALWAYS host Thanksgiving. Fun time with family, a few generations. We do prime rib (22 lb., Angus), ham (10 lb; I tried out a new cajun rub and I liked it), and the "usual" side dishes. Wife makes fresh cranberries that I'm told were delicious (I hate cranberries). Sister-in-law brought several pies and homemade rolls.

It was a good day, and as usual, I cook WAY too much. Even after sending food home with people, we'll be eating leftovers for several days ;)

Fresh dungeness crab.

^^^ Now that sounds great!

Look at that BIG ASS bowl of mashed potatoes!!! :p

Nicely done, Paul! SmileWavy
