    We're cooking dinner for 4.  I needed to chop garlic for the green bean dish I'm making.  I asked others how much garlic they need for their dishes so I could just chop it all at once. 23 cloves sounds right for a dinner for 4 - right?

     6 LB stuffed (prosciutto, pepperoni, provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, garlic and onions) pork loin headed to the small staffed local firehouse. (Sitting in the LBGE for comparison.)
    Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃🍽
    Wonderful gesture, @lousubcap. 

    Chatter at the firehouse - " I'll take call on Thanksgiving. There's this guy who lives 2 blocks away, and man can he cook!"

    Turned out great. Was going direct most of the time and which and then snuck a disposable aluminum tray below to catch some drips for my gravy.

    great idea for a post @caliking

    fried brussels sprouts
    fried turkey
    fresh green beans with bacon in…bacon drippings (sounds better than bacon grease, right?)
    cornbread stuffing (you can call it dressing if you want, it’s not going to be in the turkey)
    celery root salad
    mashed potatoes
    sweet potatoes - not sure how we’re cooking those yet
    gravy
    cranberry relish
    pumpkin cheesecake
    probably more things I’m not aware of

    It’s going to be a marathon for us - staying with our daughter and we’re going to her in laws for a noon eat (no idea what the menu is there) and then we’ll eat later, probably 6ish.

    At this point, I’m really just looking forward to the turkey sandwich on fresh sourdough on Friday. And Saturday.  And Sunday.
    You forgot to mention the competing canned green beans with bacon bits. I want video. 
    Oh man, I wish you had mentioned video earlier.

    The competition did switch to real bacon this year instead of bacon bits, so it came down to fresh green beans vs French cut canned green beans, the skinny, limp green bean pieces. Kinda grey too.
    Love you bro!

    Thanks.  My son took that pic.  It was the best turkey any of us has ever tasted.

    didn't get a ton of pics as we were coming in hot at the end. Forgot to mention my son made Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese rolls) this year. We had 2 celiac/gluten free folks so we did these instead of traditional rolls as these are naturally gluten free (and delicious). 

    The Pao: 



    The bird:


    Nueske’s ham (warmed on the bge while the ovens were in use)



    a few pies. The fancy one is store bought but I heard it was delicious (I’m not a pumpkin pie guy so I didn’t try it)



    I should have posted a pic of the recycling bin this morning. We put a serious ass-whipping on the wine fridge last night. We have to go restock today because we are down to the reserve stuff that will put us in the poor house if we keep up this pace. 
    Stop depriving yourself of the good stuff. (We've been embracing that approach lately...)

    @caliking @The Cen-Tex Smoker I’m a huge ham fan. Both of those look amazing!

    That number would throttle back my level of offerings as well.  Since I graduated beyond wine several years ago I don't recall all the protocols but for brown water there are two standing rules for guests; Never take the last pour from a bottle (not a wine issue as bottle kill is the order of the day) and never ask for a bottle to be opened (likely applicable).  However, regrettably I know a couple bourbon drinkers who routinely ignore the rules.  Happy Friday!

    Don't have much to say about the roulade, because you're a pro at that. Looks tremendous... as expected. And, as does the rest of the spread!

    We're fans of pao de queijo. I'll take any tips your progeny has to offer.
