Just us for T-Day this year (Pops, caliprince, caliqueen, and yours truly), so it’s somewhat toned down. 

Taking care of some prep and other stuff, so that tomorrow isn’t total chaos. 

Smoked a turkey neck on the small, for gravy. 


Spices cranberry sauce (with orange zest, ginger, allspice, and stuff).


Sourdough boule for the stuffing

That’s all for now. Stay tuned :)

I’m thankful for many things this year, but mostly that Pops is with us to share it. 

Peace and love to all.

    LAST SATURDAY:

    Stock made ahead of time with legs and wings from WalMart, plus carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Roasted wings and legs, pulled meat, then made stock for 9 hours.   Yielded 1 pint of turkey fat and more than 2 quarts of gelatinous stock. 

    MONDAY:

    Cut out backbone and spatchcocked turkey. Dry brined with kosher salt only all over and under the breast skin. Covered. Under covered Wednesday. 

    My other tasks will be making pecan pie in a cast iron pan and finishing the turkey gravy on Thursday. Planned go time is 2pm.  

    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    Sushi takeout tonight as we drink wine, brine birds, make pies, mash potatoes, make dressing, make stock, and hang out. We are doing dinner tomorrow (like 5pm) so it will all come together through the day. Small crew this year (6 total) and we will be outside. 80 degrees tomorrow. I’ll take it.

    @SciAggie as you well know it is the cooker, not the cook.  But have fun dropping into the pedestrian life most of us live and wrestle with.
    However it works out for you and your family, make the best of and enjoy Thanksgiving-
    Stay healthy and safe-

    My turkey is brined, injected and now air drying in the fridge.  Brioche is broken up into little pieces and air drying over night too for the brioche fennel chestnut dressing!

    Our children are home this week, and I get to meet our daughter’s next boyfriend. (This is the one dad, I really mean it this time.) I got that going for me.

    We are doing a couple of SRF Prime Rib Roasts. I am going to smoke them with pecan, and will use some gunpowder rub, which has become my go to.  My Beautiful Wife will be baking all day, while I take care of the egg (and a couple of Calistoga cabs)

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Stay safe, stay well, and thank you all for the friendships I have made here.
    That sounds like a memorable day- hoping this is the one for your daughter and a day to remember for the family. The wine sounds like a winner- breaking out some Aubert tomorrow. Time to celebrate the close of a crappy year.

    @lkapigian @lousubcap We re not suffering too much, lol. This Weber works just fine.

    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...

    I’m working so the wife is doing all the cooking. There will be seven of us this year. On the menu is ham, SP casserole, GB casserole, cornbread dressing, homemade cranberry salad (think jello with a bunch of stuff in it), potato salad, Mac-n-cheese, deviled eggs, and yeast rolls. Pecan and SP pies for desert. I’m probably forgetting something but that’s pretty close. I plan to run home on my lunch break and get the ham on the smoker. Hope everyone enjoys their day.
