Thanksgiving Feast

[Mastermind]

What are you guys cooking for your Thanksgiving feast? Old family recipes? Maybe a new take on an old favorite?

We take a lot of pride in our Thanksgiving dinner. We don't put out the good china....hell, we don't have any. But we go all out on the food.

This year I'll be brining the turkey in a solution of salt, sugar, quartered lemons, garlic, basil, bay leaves, etc. Then it goes in a roasting pan stuffed with apples, lemons, garlic, well, you get the idea. We cook the turkey with the breast down to help keep it moist.

I also make a cranberry apple sauce from scratch.

My daughter always makes a broccoli casserole from a recipe my mom gave her.

Glenda makes a bunch of different pies....and banana pudding.

I could go on.....but I wanna hear about the feast you fellas are planning.

I am no cook, but am getting in on three feasts this year. We did a pre thanksgiving with my best friend because he has to work Thursday.

Smoked turkey, green bean casserole, dressing (stuffing), potatoes, salad, sourdough bread, couple of pies ect. My buddy’s hobby is cooking so it was great.

Then we hit my family’s for lunch Thursday. Wife’s family for dinner. Biggest difference there is the different sweet potatoes. My family does them with marshmallows on top and the wife’s does them with this brown sugar crust and mash them.

Some years one group will do a ham or something. It is more of a marathon for us

We are going a different route this year, low country boil. Shrimp, sausages, potatoes, corn and crab legs. My daughters decided on this meal, I'm a sucker for shrimp so no arguing on this. Getting fresh shrimp from shem creek in charleston today.

Groceries, groceries, and more groceries...

Three smoked Boston butts, two deep-fried turkey birds, one big ham. No sense in listing the ten plus sides and all the pies, cakes, etc that'll be there...everything pretty much mentioned above. Going back to the traditional thing this year. We've had fish fries with low country boils as well, on many o' Thanksgiving over the last 15-20 years or so just to break up the monotony of the usual. Nothing like cranking up four/five fish fryers and LouAna peanut oil for bass, crappie, bream, catfish with hush puppies, homemade fries, homemade coleslaw, and Velveeta cheese grits. We'll be back to the fish fry thang next year.

There'll be about 25 folks at this shindig this year.

There are no other folks. Just Jason and his belly full of worms.

I'm making Vinegar and mustard BBQ sauced chicken for Thanksgiving.

My niece served a undercooked ham last year
The outside was burned inside chewable for thanksgiving
With 5000 cloves stabbed into it.
