Thanksgiving day menu
« on: November 21, 2014, 09:46:34 AM »
Wife just verified the shopping list and is headed out in a moment to pick up the groceries before the stores fill with the weekend shoppers
I really enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and family. Kinda lamed up this year so I get to supervise my kitchen and then just show up and eat.

I consider myself a good cook, but I'm sure I'm an even better eater! More gravy please! :IBCOOL:
May all your time with family be special

The in-laws are coming to dinner from Nevada this year. They requested a "special" thanksgiving menu. So, I will be cooking my wife the traditional thanksgiving dinner the week after Thanksgiving. As far as Thanksgiving day is concerned, the in-laws want to hop the ferry and go to The Crab Pot in downtown Seattle. Not traditional turkey day fare, but I never mind eating a ton of seafood!

Run, wish you lived closer.
Bright side. Nothing to clean up! Ive been away on the holidays before, I didnt even have my dog.  :sry:
Jump in the truck and head up Recer Cr rd. Take a grill and the coffee makins with some doughnuts. Hang a tarp, build a fire and watch it snow.
Relax, take pix and show us what we missed!

Going to a friends house, 20+ people.  Leave after the meal for late archery. 

Gonna find me an elk that wants to provide a Happy Thanksgiving for my family :chuckle:

I wanted to go hunt early, since elk opens Wed, and deer on Thurs. She wasn't too excited about it since dinner is at our house this year so I figured I should help. Full traditional meal, turkey that'll set in the big chief for a while before the oven then the spiral cut ham will sit in the smoker for a few hours. Mashed red potatoes in the crock pot, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, macaroni fruit salad, deviled eggs, too many pies and smoked trout dip for appetizer. Sure I'm forgetting something. Probably won't be able to walk through the woods Friday!

Spend some time with the muzzleloader or bow in my hand. Hunting late muzzle loader deer and archery elk.

Then I am doing a bachelor thanksgiving this year. A couple of Cornish Game Hens and some scalloped potatoes and green bean casserole  :drool:

Thankgiving for us is traditional, turkey etc. We were assigned rolls, candied yams and the green bean casserole, and it's held at my aunts home (1/2 mile across the field)

Christmas dinner is held here and I plan something different every year (Crab sounded good) everyone leaves with full bellies and plastic tubs for the next day. I'm a Weber guy so if it can go on the grill that makes it even better. I cheat the rolls buying the Rhodes frozen dough balls, momma would not be happy with us!.
In the past when the folks were here we would do the salt Prime rib. Hard to go wrong with that. Next Thursday..... hopefully I'll be up to the trip;)
As a boy....
I remember feeding the cows while watching for that first snow flake and coming back to the house to watch the Charlie Brown specials.... Grade schooler, and in case some of you were wondering....the school had more that one room!
