What are your plans for turkey day?
I'm damned sure not going to Furr's Cafeteria with family, again. I may have a TV dinner and a nap!
Visit with daughter and granddaughter. Last year she didn't make any gravy for the stuffing. She better get her shit together this year....I taught her better than that! I'm ok with the stove top, since my great aunts homemade recipe calls for making the biscuits and cornbread from scratch 2-3 days prior...but there better be some gravy!!! LOL I would come over and help out, but I have passed the apron and have no desire to spend countless hours in the kitchen again - unless it's doing QA taste testing!
Last year was my first one alone and so I volunteered at a Sr. Center in Brooklyn serving meals. This is my first in FL but I'll probably go to my brother's and tell his wife how she's doing it all wrong. LOL.... No I won't. I'm going there to help prepare for their family.
I believe Dan will be cooking turkey, I'll do potatoes and you'll make candied yams.
Yes as and the sweetness will salivate the olifactory glands
I have my son this year! So, I'm going to get up early and make a traditional meal for us, my dad and any of our friends that want to stop by. We're going watch the parade and the dog show. Then around 5, we'll go do the family dinner thing with my mom's family. I'm significantly less excited about that part.
Not eating the charred corpse of an innocent being who was murdered....
A fairly traditional dinner. Wife and daughter are in discussion about sides and dessert. Son IL and I help cook but stay out of the planning as that just confuses thing. Daughter is looking for a new way to cook the turkey. We have done typical oven baking, microwave (big micro and it does work), fried and spatchcocked. Heard of a paper bag version for capturing moisture. Will see!
I will be cooking the traditional bird for my small family, my 91 year old mom, my daughter, and her husband. Hang out, chat, and probably stream a movie. As I prepare the bird I will listen to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, my yearly tradition. Also will watch the Thanksgiving episode of WKRP, the turkey drop.
Work on building another prototype speaker for the center channel then drive to the folks and eat.
