gobble gobble... what did ya have?
 

Subject says it all. Post a recipe if you are so inclined.

Roast turkey, stuffed w/ aromatics
Gravy from drippings
Oyster dressing
Mashed yukon gold potatoes
seared then steamed green beans
fresh made cranberry sauce using OJ from the trees in the side yard
from scratch apple pie
ice cream

The oyster dressing - generic stove top style stuffing in a bag, for each 14 oz bag use 1 pint oysters, reserve juice and add enough new castle brown ale to make the 2 cups liquid needed. 1/2 stick butter and oyster juice, beer, and half a large onion diced up. In large pot on medium high heat add the diced onion and butter, salt and pepper to taste, let butter melt and lightly cook onons. Add liquids, bring to a boil, add oysters, let oysters cook for a minute, remove from heat, mix in stuffing. Add more salt, garlic, black pepper, etc. to taste. Transfer to oven safe dish, bake uncovered at 300-350 (what else is baking at last minute while the turkey rests?) until internal temp hits 150 (measure from a few places around your dish), don't let the top burn

The green beans - Snip and wash your beans, leave 'em a little wet. Sprinkle with black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes. A table spoon of olive oil, mix it all up, move it around so the beans all have some olive oil and spices on 'em. Get a large pan good and hot, add a little more olive oil to it, dump in the beans, let 'em sear up a tad, move 'em around, then cover and reduce heat. If needed add a little more water to get some steam going under the cover, cook to desired doneness.

I have eaten SO much meat over the past two weeks that today I bucked the trend with a Tuna 'steak', rice, and butter-squash ravioli's...i'll eat some of the turkey over the weekend!

Whoooo, sounds good!


This is quick and easy (quick and easy - that reminds me of a girl I knew back in my teens.)

I preheated the oven to 200 celsius I think that's about 400F

Threw a pork roast, potatoes , chopped onion, kumara - I think you fullas ;) call it sweet potatoe, tiny bit of salt and pepper, splash of soy sauce, and into a cassorole pot (big cast iron pot with lid) and put it in the oven. After an hour I turned it down to about half the previous temperature and left it 3 or 4 hours. The pork was like pulled pork, with a subtle soy flavor.

But day two... Cold pork and the potatoes etc put under the grill. Even better on day two :)

I BBQd a 3 1/2 lb bone in Rib Eye, my wife made some potatoes, green beans/almond slices, mushrooms. It was simple. Then of course the Pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
It was probably 80 outside today, a beautiful day in SoCal.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

My sister a BIL lives in Denver... She's a great cook. Their house was full of people today.

Enjoy the day! :)
