You all sound like you know your way around the kitchen- good stuff and even better Thanksgiving for home made type touches.
All the childhood traditions I had , and in some cases just lumped it....as Dad might say....died because of picky kids and in laws -although mostly Christmas ones.
They refused a turkey I shot at the lease too.
For T-day wife and daughter prefer ham over turkey which I just don't get. While smoked turkey is okay it reminds me too much of .....ham! Ham is okay- oven baked turkey....with stuffing .....gravy...GBC....and cranberry sauce ( another thing I seem to be lone wolf in liking) is where it is at! I don't have a big ole fryer so I don't go that route. Seems like more mess to mess with but everyone swears by it.
When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of
