KD in CA Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Brined bird and Beaujolais. We're doing a brined turkey for the first time this year. Looking forward to it!
mead107 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 All the regular turkey fixings. wife just put 2 pumpkin pies in the oven and making sweet potatoes. We head to my sister's house at 3. she only is down the road a few miles. doing a little wine from Portugal - Lab.. Doing some homemade wine with dinner.
Corp000085 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 A 20 lb brined bird with apple cider. Just dropped it in the oven about 30 minutes ago. About to raid the beer fridge in a moment
HopsGuy Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 My dad was the cook in our family but he passed back in January. It's just me & my mom so we're keeping it simple. She made her cranberry/orange relish in the food processor yesterday and she'll doing a simple green bean dish because she's tired of the GB casserole. I put a turkey breast in the brine this morning and I'll do a simple stuffing/dressing later. Dad's specialty was baking and his best dish was pumpkin chiffon pie. I haven't attempted to make that and Thanksgiving is no time to be auditioning new dishes, so we bought an apple pie at the store. It won't be the same but it'll do. I'm sort of looking forward to the turkey sandwiches in the coming days.
IDBillzFan Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Turkey rubbed with sage, grated orange rind, salt, pepper, stuffed with clove-studded oranges and a fresh batch of sage and then out to the rotisserie for a few hours. Did it about five years ago and no one will let me make it any other way. Much to be thankful for. Enjoy the day.
birdog1960 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 going to friends in a couple hours. pretty sure it will be traditional but possibly the turkey will be finished on a weber grill. bringing from scratch key lime pie and hummingbird cake, beer and wine.
LeviF Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 We're a classic Thanksgiving family. Stuffed turkey in the oven, with more stuffing out of the bird for the wimps. Mashed potatoes, butternut squash, cranberries, lots of gravy. Home-made pumpkin pie and apple pie (that reminds me, I need a block of cheddar). Happy Thanksgiving to all on TBD.
Simon Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I just did that for effect, I sat and waited 2 years on him first! Just restocked the deep freeze with 200lbs of local beef yesterday. It's a dry white meat at Mom-in-law's today (I'm no longer allowed to fry turkeys at T'giving cuz then nobody eats her bird:-) but fresh fat steaks tomorrow!
BillsWatch Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I already had duck for thanksgiving. My wife made it on Tuesday and was absolutely fabulous. I have to work Wed-Sat so we had thanksgiving on Tuesday instead.
