Thanksgiving dinner reviews
How did this year's meal stack up?
It was just the two of us and we went out, unremarkable.

Ours was awesome! Except for the part about my wife having emergency surgery Monday for a detached retina. 
I cooked a 12 pound bird with apple and mesquite, roasted brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes,turkey gravy and cornbread stuffing (thank you TJ's).
We are thankful the eye doctor made quick work of the repair.  Now if we
could somehow speed up the healing.

Deep fried bird, mashed potatoes, white gravy and Amish pumpkin pie. I'm not a sweets person, but after one bite of the pie I told Michelle she would
have to get her own piece.
Ken, sorry bout the uneventful meal, I'm sure the company made up for it.
Elgato, glad to here wifes ok. The bird was smoked with apple and mesquite ?
How long did it take ? That's one thing with frying the bird, it takes so little time that it throws off my old long drawn out morning routine.

Food was great.
For the first time I didnt buy De Boeuf beaujolais. It was one from Jacque Charlet, a 2011. BETTER THAN THE DE BOEUF'S I'VE HAD!! This was a
beaujolais-villages.
But the find was the 2012 Geyser Peak Sauv Blanc that someone brought. Very good, inexpensive, SB from Sonoma County.

Dern's quote of the day was, "Get out of the kitchen. This is a one man's kitchen!"
It was a good thing that I can be a good listener (at times). He prepared the most amazing Paleo Thanksgiving dinner, complete with no grain, no
dairy, no sugar pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream. I live for this day. And, there is nothing like pie and ice cream for breakfast the next day.
Our Black Friday shopping is also done. BOGO 1/2 price fishing lures at Dick's Sporting Goods. We are stocked up on Krocs and new line for halibut at
Las Animas next month.
Can't wait. I love "carpet fishing".
Mateo, please give Barb our speedy recovery wishes too.

Do you see the turkey?

Great Thanksgiving! After a couple of unplanned delays we made it home from BA at about 2 in the afternoon. My awesome wife had the dinner almost done
so after a quick rest we ate a juicy bird, best stuffing ever, cranberry sauce and home made sorbet, rolls and yams. Watched some 'American' football.
Fell asleep from turkey coma and missed the 3 pies. WHAT A FEAST!

Chucking the Bird
Since it was also Chanukah, we waited on the Turkey and had the Ham instead.

Turkey, Dried brained and stuffed with family recipe. giblet gravy, mash potatoes, peas, carmel carrots, Waldorf salad with grapes and dates,
cranberry cake and 3 pies. Family said it was good.
I have never understood why folks think cooking for Thanksgiving is a big deal. Many lose the idea that it's about being with family and enjoying each
other. Perfect food will not make up for a bad people. Cooking for up to 12 is pretty much the same as cooking for four with more volume.
Surfing with only our crew in 2OH waves on Back Friday, eating left overs was killer.
