Sweet potatoes with marshmallow/sugar is just wrong.  That stuff is so nasty.

I prefer mine with bacon and ground cumin.

I've had it both ways, and like it either way. 

It's the only time I care for marshmallow anything.  I can't stand them on, with, or by themselves any other time.

My dad's wife makes them with brown sugar and marshmallows (and I think cranberries). 

I can't eat that stuff.  It makes my teeth hurt.

I'll ask when I'm there. It would hurt because food prices are lower and there are no sales taxes.

Yeah, the "no sales tax" is/was the only reason to shop the Commissary or the PX since Clintoon, at least.  Not much in savings other than that.

I hate that SOB.

Two 12 lb Turkeys (German ovens are too small for anything bigger) one cooked the traditional way one cooked with bacon
Honey and brown sugar glazed ham
Greenbean casserole
Sweetpotato Pie (candied yams for you yankees)  :-)
Mac and Cheese
Cornbread stuffing
Cranberry sauce
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Brown and serve rolls
Pumpkin, Chocolate, Pecan and Apple Pies

A bottle of German Sweet Rot (Red) Wine produced locally here in the Rhindland-Pfalz, Crown Royal and a selection of German Beers.

It will be my family, one of my co-workers from my unit and all of our children plus some single soldiers I invited to the house who would otehrwise sit in their barracks rooms.

Priot to eating there will be a prayer for the blessings bewtowed upon us and a request that God watch over my fellow soldiers down range.

And I will be extremely thankful for everything I have and that I'm able to provide for others.

Sounds great! It looks like you have all of the after-dinner food groups covered.

If you get a minute, can you post the recipe for your Bulleit Chocolate Pecan Pie?

It's pretty much this one....

But my wife takes some liberties with the recipe.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

My husband has to work that day, and it seems most of the relatives have to as well, so it's just going to be us two.

Turkey
Mashed potatoes, purchased (Bob Evans)
Gravy (not purchased, this is one of my best skills)
Corn, cranberry, rolls & butter
Labatt Blue and Root One Sauvignon Blanc

No dessert, no sweet tooth.
And none of the stuff I hate that sometimes I have to choke down to be polite:  sweet potatoes, peas, turnips, Brussels sprouts, anything sweet.

     I would appear that my plans have solidified. I'm putting a leg of lamb on the rotisserie and roasting potatoes. For the lamb, one marinates it in olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. I'm also doing a tri-tip, which is what people do when brisket is hard to come by at a reasonable price. Tri-tip is nice when one marinates in red wine, oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano.

     Each is lovely on its own, or can certainly be sliced for sandwiches and the like. We are easy at Maison BFDU.

Go out to dinner.  Last year there were only three of us and we went out.  Found a beautiful restaurant, had a candle lit dinner in front of a big fireplace.  Food and service were great and I didn't have to cook, clean or do dishes...... :-)

All of your meals sound fantastic and good times should be had by all.

This year I will be at the in laws. The food will be great my wife , her sister, and her aunt are gourmet cooks. I will eat too much food.

The wife's mother is hardcore leftist but all of her children are conservatives. There is usually little to no political talk but with the complete fiasco that Obama Care is there maybe this year. 

I hope all of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your family and friends.

H5 to Dutch! 

The Mr. And I will be having Thanksgiving with our son and his girlfriend, Becca.

For the first time, I bought a turkey from Rudy's BBQ joint.  It's smoked and I will just need to warm it up.  I hope it's good. 

We will be having the normal sides with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole (my husband loves that), yeast rolls with lots of butter, and pumpkin pie.  Becca will be bringing another dessert. 

To Michael Bloomberg and other "concerned" liberals:  I cook with butter and salt, and you can't stop me!

One Christmas we had a freaky heat wave and the temp on Christmas day reached 100 degrees.  Not living in a hot climate, we don't have air conditioning.  I dreaded trying to cook a big turkey in the oven all day.  We decided to throw it on the smoker instead.  It turned out wonderful and had the best flavor.  :-)

I eat a paleo/primal diet so with a few exceptions that's what I fix:

Butter, pepper & rosemary crusted Turkey with bacon on the top (of course)
Fresh green beans cooked for several hours with bacon
Carrots sauted in coconut oil and generously sprinkled with chili powder
Paleo Stuffing (no bread, can't stand soggy bread)
Garlic Cauliflower & turnip smashed "potatoes" with giblet gravy
Sweet potato casserole with a pecan crust (hate marshmallows)
Berry-Apple Salad with fresh grated coconut and ginger honey dressing
Deviled eggs (of course)
The most decadent flourless dark chocolate cake in the world
Apple pie tartlets with a hazelnut/almond flour crust. These freeze well and I'll be making my husband his favorite "regular" apple pie so there will be lots left over
Margaritas


Who knew cave men ate so well?

We have one close by, but I've never been in it.  It's always, always packed to the rafters.  Usually with Canadians.  Is it best for breakfast or lunch, or what?  I have a gift card.

Definiely breakfast.  Lunch and dinner are average at best.

The one in my neighborhood is enormous.  They have the biggest kitchen I've ever seen... half a dozen fryers, at least four ovens, acres of flat tops and grill.
