Beckerheads’ Thanksgiving

[GeofS]

I’m making them tomorrow. I half ‘em, coat in olive oil, season with garlic, cumin, and salt, and sprinkle diced pancetta on them. They’re always a favorite.

Also, just sharpened my BK62 and 98 so they’re ready to carve tomorrow.

That’s some goodness right there.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Anyone bring out Joy of Cooking for the occasion? We are hitting my wife's daughter's for the traditional turkey feast. Years ago, my wife and I always looked forward to spending the day in Gatlinburg TN, eating at a fairly good restaurant, and then hitting the park for some car touring. But that changed with my wife's daughter moving close by.

Damm! I got to catch up! That looks Great!

Having Thanksgiving in Maine at my folks, the 2nd most quintessential state for Thanksgiving - the first being the Granite State, it being the home of Sarah Josepha Hale, aka "the mother of Thanksgiving". My mom's not too mobile - so all us adult children are making the meal. Turkey, skin-on mashers, roasted carrots, butternut squash, green beans, cranberry relish (how can one not?) & gravy. And cornbread. Banana bread, pumpkin pie & apple crisp for dessert. All for 6 adults and my two teenage girls....'course, anyone of the Northeast 'Heads that've been to a gathering knows there'll likely be more leftovers than actual dinner. Turkey carving to be done with a Cinci Magnum Camp I found yesterday and couldn't NOT bring home. I'll try to get some photos posted up later. Happy Thanksgiving, friends - cuz despite whatever crap I might be dealing with, I still have things to be thankful for - Uncle E and you folks, for one.

Mom used the wife's 15 for the honors:

Changed things a little bit today. I decide to visit my FIL in rehab so I spatchcock roasted my turkey breast and made a bacon wrapped roast beef instead of using the smoker.

62 and 98

Brussels with pancetta

My plate

I made my wife very happy. That’s a win!

Happy Thanksgiving. I spent half the day sitting in a tree waiting for a deer. The other half the day eating wonderful food. Never saw a deer while in in the tree, but one was waiting for me on my walk back to the cabin.

While my family has a lot to be thankful for this was a very challenging year.

as promised: new to me Blackjack Magnum Camp - perfect for turkey carving.

Hope allay'all found a few things to be thankful for....

Wonderful meals, fellas. Nicely done.

I went back in about an hour ago, for another plate full of turkey and apple salad, haha. Like I really needed it.

Both my wife and I did the same last night, Dubz. That’s a sign of a good Thanksgiving meal.

Looking forward to leftovers Now ! I'am Thankful for that too

Turkey #2, BK15. Tune in tomorrow for the campfire spatchcock turkey #3 extravaganza!

 

[daizee]

Doing my turkey today. BK-15 and BK-5 are good carving options, but I'll probably use my 8" Nicholson File carving knife again. Hopefully it turns out well. Didja know that a 17lb turkey is $6.50 the day after Thanksgiving? :-D

Well said. Been both breakfast and lunch today. Might even be tastier the next day.

I think most of us around here actually don't eat so much at our big meal but the leftovers are like a 5 day feast 24/7 instead of fixing other food.

 

[The Warrior]

Yup, just ate more for supper. Still a few meals left in there.
