    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: 


    ...

    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.
    I have had other requests as well. I’ll post his recipe here.

    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...)
    We have 10 people here…

    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!
    I have most the bottles out in the bar, I do keep 3 bottles in my closet.  Those make it out for special guests who appreciate bourbon.  I had to make some changes after a friend was mixing Blanton's with diet coke and another said this "Heaven's Door Bootleg for 2020 is pretty good, but I prefer my wild Turkey."

    A friend of mine found that my Blanton's Special Reserve makes a great Manhattan.  Since he made one for each of us I wasn't sure if that was a party foul or not.  What say ye?

    Any good bourbon will make a good Manhattan if correctly mixed.  Very perceptive to use your bourbon and make one for you. Since he made one for you that reduces the charges but in the end I call a minor foul.  But bourbon palates are individual...

    To wrap it up…. Behold! 

    The Thanksgiving Stack!!


    Waffled 2 kinds of stuffing, topped with mashed potatoes, gravy, Brussels sprouts (to keep it healthy :smiley: ), MNC, ham, smoked turkey, runny egg, twice baked sweet potato, drizzle of hot honey, and a dollop of cran sauce. 

    I had been dreaming of this since Monday 
    I wish I could like that 1000 times.  How could I have forgotten to waffle the stuffing?????

    @caliking - That is a banquet to behold.  Beautiful. I get why the extended anticipation.  Magazine quality photo and description right there.  But I must ask, what is MNC?

    @Elijah - thanks as I'm sure you are correct.  With watching college football and keeping hydrated with adult supervisory beverages my creative side is lacking (like most of the time).

    Key step in the enjoyment of T-Day leftover. You get nice crunchy bits, and spaces for the gravy to pool. 

    I think I'll have just mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch tomorrow. You know... something light.

    That is bringing it home @YukonRon .  Great banquet however, diet Mountain Dew and where's the $$ shot?  All in good fun.  Glad you are engaged again here.
