thanksgiving

we are both tired of cooking a huge meal for thanksgiving so instead the wife wants me to smoke a lot of meat for the freezer so instead of smoking a turkey i'll be smoking 1 boston butt ( for pulled pork ) 2 smoked chickens and 1 slab of spare ribs and 1 slab of baby back ribs

🎶 “Oh turkey bird, oh turkey bird, How crispy is thy ski-in.” 🎶 Ok, sitting here today working out my T’day menu, figured it’s as good a time as any to open the topic up for 2023. Just moments ago worked out my menu: Cheese spread and crackers Champagne Garlic-herb roasted turkey crown...

First of all, I have to laugh, because there's a Halloween 2022 topic, and a Christmas 2022 topic. Even here, Thanksgiving gets pushed out of the way! :laugh: Anyway, starting the topic because I spoke with my niece today. She lives a couple of hours away, and that's where we're going for...

Thanksgiving Dinner w. Turkey, Rice, Mixed Vegetables and Cranberry Sauce

Sorry, I know this is not a very international thread, but it is timely as Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away here in the USA and good chefs are probably gethering their ingredients as I type. My wife and I won't be traveling far this Thanksgiving, so no big family meals... However we did get invited...

2020 Thanks Giving Day Dinner

Anybody know who will play?

Ok, for those who prepare a Thanksgiving meal, let everyone know what's on the menu plan for this year, please. I'll start: Roast turkey, which will be brined overnight, and I'll also loosen the skin and smear herb butter between the skin and the flesh. Bread Stuffing/Dressing - I guess it's...

Halloween - Our area announced they are allowing trick-or-treating this year. That seems bizarre since our state isn't fully open and passing out candy to a long line of kids seems like unnecessary risks for all parties involved. All of our schools aren't even open yet. Thanksgiving - I know...

As well as the obvious roast turkey, there are side dishes such as green bean casserole (originally created in 1955 by Campbells to promote their mushroom soup), mashed potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, Brussels sprouts, cranberry, stuffing to name but a few. Some of these...

I'm going over to my nephew's house. The one who stayed in Georgia. :wink:

I want to start planning my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus. I'm looking for some inspiration. We prefer traditional and nontraditional holiday meals. What's your favorite holiday dish?

This Thursday, in the United States, it's Thanksgiving. It's one of, if not the biggest, cooking and eating holidays of the year. What's on your menu? What are you cooking up this Thanksgiving?

We purchase a 12# fresh turkey which I wet brined last Tuesday. Removed it from the brine late Wednesday night to let it dry some in the fridge. At 5:00 AM, EST Thursday, I removed it to warm up. I set up my BGE for indirect cooking, mixed some 1/2 splits of pecan in with the lump charcoal, then...

This is a short list of some side dishes that I personally MUST have at my dinner table for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner! Being a full-time college student who also works part-time, I find it difficult to make very extravagant foods for the holidays. This list consists of all the side...

Sweet potato casserole has always been a part of our family Holiday Dinner. The traditional recipe uses huge amounts of sugar and marshmallows on top. It is so sweet it should be classified as a desert. Middle sister is hostess for Thanks Giving. Last year I told her I would bring the Sweet...

This discussion is thrown out to all the cooking guys in the forum...but the ladies can chime in also.. My wife and I both love to cook. We host family Thanksgiving dinner every year. This is her favorite holiday right after Christmas and she insists on "ruling the kitchen" and the menu...few...

So what is everybody in the USA having for Thanksgiving dinner? How are you celebrating the holiday? I wish each and every one of you all the best today, Enjoy your time spent with family and friends. Be thankful for all that you are blessed with in life! Cheers!!

I don't know much about America. Thanksgiving is one of those things that is alien to me but it seems like a good idea, get the family together around the table and have a meal. But I'm guessing there is more to it than that? Why is it traditionally associated with turkey? Why is the date...

This year my birthday is on Thanksgiving. My family and I get together on Thanksgiving with everyone cooking something. This year because it is also my birthday I have asked the family if it would be possible for us to go out to one of the really nice restaurants for dinner. It would be the...
