Just finished a Jack Daniels chocolate chip praline cake.

Wish I were finishing some Jack Daniels right now.

I don't really like turkey but am stuck with the task this year. Got the smallest fresh turkey plus a bunch of legs, because I think dark meat is better. Deboned them, leaving just the "ankle" knuckle. Brined for 36 hrs in salty orange juice. Patted dry and air dried under a fan, to get the skin dry.

Made two stuffings. One is bread, shiitake cremini portobello, bacon sausage, onion garlic, chicken stock, hazelnuts, dried cranberries. The other is salad greens, beet greens, blue cheese, garlic, almonds. Stuffed the legs with either or, stuffed the while turkey with both.

Trussed and about to go in the oven.

Will be painting with honey + butter + anchovy paste.

My friend is bringing lamb to grill, I'm looking forward to that a lot more than to my turkey. But it has to be cooked for T'giving.

It ain't Thanksgiving here so: classic Wiener Schnitzel.

Sunny but a tad cold. What better thing to do...Shrimp boil for Thanksgiving!

And then two turkey's and 6 pies. Glad I wore elastic shorts. :eek:


http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1385687290.jpg

Ian, do you cook your Schnitzel in butter?

No, vegetable oil. About 1/2 in in a covered frypan at med-high heat. Too hot & it cooks too quickly & the breading doesn't bubble nicely & too low, it soaks up too much oil. The other trick is: Never bread it ahead of time. You want to bread it & fry it instantly. If I was a true purist, I would use lard.

Thankfully, no pictures. :eek:

what I'm loosely calling Portuguese Cassoulet. With buttered corn tortilla roll-ups, it turned out great, perfect for a cold night.

That looks 3x better than my last restaurant meal in Boston.

the chili broth really made it John. Could have used some shrimp and mussels for a completely different, but equally delicious, character. next time you are here we'll plan.

Brought a pork belly appetizer to a dinnerful of Muslims (Persians). I kind of think this was a faux pas. But everyone is chowing down on it so I lucked out, won't be beaten with a shoe or put to the sword I hope.
