Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

Yes to tamales, both for seasonal appropriateness and deliciousness.
Make chili verde too. It's amazing and FAR simpler than mole.

Make the tamales if you are adventurous. It's an all hands on deck family affair. Put on some Christmas music, gather the family, laugh, and cook together.Coleman, Texas

I had this one bookmarked: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1181812/mojo-smoked-pork-carnitas-tacos/p1 I think this would be a good one because you can smoke the butt ahead of time and finish off in the dutch oven inside. Frees up the egg for other exploits.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Mole isn't that difficult. But, if you're going to do it, use chicken thighs, not breast meat!Black_Badger said:Yes to tamales, both for seasonal appropriateness and deliciousness.

It depends on how many other people can cook and work together in a small space. Personally I would make lots of apps and other small ish plates. Unless you are going to all sit down Thanksgiving style. And personally tamales are a PIA. Guac, Pico, Queso in the crockpot, carnitas, meatball soup, fixings for soft tacos, I would use small 4 inch tortillas, lots of good cold beer and margaritas.

I lived in Albuquerque for 5 years, and one tradition I really liked (even though it's not food-related) were candelabrias:
Simple brown paper "lunchbags", with a bit of sand in the bottom and a candle embedded. I must be spelling it wrong, because it took awhile to find an image, they're actually quite common in the Southwest.
And now I'm hungry for tamales."Dumplings are just noodles that have already eaten" - Jon Kung
