Thanksgiving Menu

It this easy to do?

Take a bit of muscle and a good set of poultry shears. Takes me 5 minutes or so.

Does anyone else here not like sweet potatoes? I think they're fairly gross. I know they're not potatoes but they're often a substitute for potatoes, which are awesome. I remember years ago when there was a craze for sweet potato fries and they were being offered up all over in lieu of actual fries, that was a horrible time.

I love just about any food but the only two foods I can think of that I don't like are two foods associated with Thanksgiving- sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.

I had sweet potato fries cooked in beef tallow at new restaurant recently. Unbelievable. Like a whole new food. I need to go back and try the regular fries now.

The sweet potato fries smelled like McDonalds did in the 80’s. IYKYK. The flavor was amazing. But I agree, sweet potato fries generally suck.

What makes the mashed potatoes amazing?

UConn gold potatoes. 2 sticks of butta. 2 cups of 1/2 + 1/2. Salt, pepper and smidge more butta.

Sounds great. Outside your need to try and make every post schtick with “butta”. Butter would have sufficed.

My wife has a rule that you are not allowed to experiment on guests.

Gotta be a proven recipe.

Been there. Done that.

Uncle Steve: "Whats in the stuffing?"

Dove: "I added grape jelly and tumeric."

Mom: "Dove, I never really liked you."

I held back on "peppa."

 

[temery]

what is "spatchcocking"? Asking for a friend.

A fancy name for road kill.

Your wife's advice scared me, but I had already bought the ingredients. Looks like it came out pretty good. Hopefully it will taste good or I won't be invited back next year.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

my son doesn’t eat meat and I don’t like turkey, so when I host I make Salmon Wellington. I’m made risotto, and I made Brussels sprouts
