Who's cooking what for Thanks Giving??

Doing the big turkey dinner. Fortunately, We'll be having dinner at my Girlfriends cousin's house. Her husband is a trained chef so it will be a good feed. Lots of stuffing, rolls, vegies etc.Apple and pumpkin pie for desert... Yum

Hi Bill,
Onion pie. Yeah,....I know it sounds strange but it works. Especially if you like onions. Some years ago I came across reading about onion pies. My first reaction was like so many other persons,.........hmmmm,.....interesting. (Not wanting to say or think it sounds bizarre or awful:d)

Dang Brad...now ya got me thinking. I haven't had onion pie in years. It is a unique side dish, but yep if you like onions that is good.

Good stuff!
 
Standard Thanksgiving dinner at our house! :d
Turkey & Dressing
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
Sweet Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
Turnips
Homemade Chocolate Cake
(wife makes Cool Whip & Cream Cheese frosting - sounds weird, tastes great)
Bottle of Asti Spumante (the cheap stuff)
 
My daughter is dancing in the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade so we will be getting on the bus sometime early morning Thursday and getting home in the afternoon sometime. Maybe I will pick up some turkey pot pies for dinner later that day. :d I am going to miss a traditional Thanksgiving day with turkey and football but there is always next year.
 
Well since I'm a mutt aka "multi-ethinic" we'll be having a little bit from alot of places:

Traditional Turkey
Roast Pork
Rice & Pigeon Peas
Stuffing
Mashed green plantains
tamales
Yams (not sweet potatoes)
Bread fruit
Cheesecake
Pumpkin Pie

Can't wait. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! :applause::applause::applause:
 
We are in Katy, Texas for Thanksgiving, visiting my daughter and family (husband and grandkids). We are having a spiral-baked ham with all the trimmings. Afterward, I'll sit on the back patio, sip a good scotch and water, and see what interesting airplanes come out of Covey Trails, the little airpark next to her neighborhood. Today, I saw a faux-Zero (T-6), who knows what else is lurking over there. I saw a real Spitfire this past summer, and a "military" Aeronca Champ/L-16...couldn't tell for sure which model it was. On Friday, I'll have left-overs, if there is any scotch left...

Mmmmmmmmmm, man that sounds good, might have to swap out my pork tenderloin for that now.

Me and the GF are doing dinner since I work in retail mgt and never get holidays off and her family are in Hawaii

Tenderloin, rich stuffing with wild mushrooms, fresh baked sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, choc bread pudding, and LOTS of wine - yum!

Wish I had time to hit my sisters in Houston. My brother in law is hispanic and has a huge family, talk about a killer spread during the holidays (awesome tamales!!)

Hope everyone has a nice holiday and stays safe :ernae:

They are all too small...the worst scotch I've ever had was absolutely wonderful...:costumes:

If you have any scotch left-over, I'll be right-over...

Has anyone ever had Slivovich? (I think thats what its called). Its a Plum brandy from Yugoslovia. Very 'Scotch like'.

(Maybe spelled Slivovitz?)
 
All this talk of Scotch sent me to the liquor cabinet for a dram of Glenrothes 15 year old. It was a hard decision to make as I was staring at more than a few bottles of God's gift to man.

Strange as it may seem, diet & exercise have made me cut back on the extravagant Italian dishes so Lasagna is not on the menu this year. I have been fooling around with North African recipes (spiced chicken and vegetables in soups & stews) I need to get a tagine to do it right.

I do have a turkey breast in the freezer. I wonder how that would be with a Moroccan spice rub :)
 
The family and friends will be served...Herb Seasoned Roast Turkey (cooked breast-side down...YUM!!), Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Gravy, Stuffing, Lemon-Roasted Green Beans with Almonds, Potato Gratin with Porcini Mushrooms and Mascarpone Cheese, Roasted Butternut Squash With Sage, Rolls, Pumpkin Pie, and Pecan Pie. I very much enjoy cooking but after all this I'm sure I won't want to be in the kitchen for some time to come. :costumes:

Hmmm.. that Onion pie sounds good. It'll go fine with the tortiere I have to make for Christmas but I think I'll steal a little secret I found in California and add a whole bunch of .... garlic so it would be more appropriately and onion and garlic pie [burp!]

From what I was taught you can use a whole top crust. you just punch a hole in the top about the size of a silver dollar and cook it low and slow to let the juices boil off a bit more. The linked recipe only uses one shell (two pies) so with the eggs it's more like onion quiche.

Chaq'un a son gout!

My question is ... why would you ruin good scotch with water? Or Ice for that matter?

Straight untouched is the best way to enjoy a good scotch.


Course I like my whiskey the same way ... I guess its an aquired taste.
 
:jump: Yes, My Fav time of year !!

Turkey, Slow Cooked in Oven in Homemade Butter Sauce.
Honey Roasted Ham
Mashed Red Patatoes Homemade Gravy
Asini Depeppi Fruit Salad, or Frog Eye Salad
Sweet Patatoes with Melted Marsh mellows on Top (Mmmmmm)
Stuffing
Deviled Eggs & Vegi Tray

Happy T-Day to All !! :ernae:

Many Cheers !!

Sounds great RayRey! Can you fill us Americans in on what 'Mashed green plantains' are? and 'Bread fruit' as well? I realise some parts of the world have veggies that we dont have here in the states. Italy has some wild veggies that we dont have, for instance..


Man... Building up that hunger for tomorrow! whewwwwwwwww...... lol
