Thanksgiving Dinner 2008
Here's a shot of our Thanksgiving dinner on the stove- I smoked an 11 pound all natural bird, grilled then roasted some sweet potatoes, butternut squash, garlic and onions, made some green bean casserole with my own crispy shallot topping, a fresh cranberry/fruit blend, and or course gravy.
A long day today, but I'll flesh this out throughout the week. It really turned out well, and I deliberately steered away from some traditional favorites, mainly mashed potatoes, stuffing and rolls. I have to say I didn't miss them much, except for craving some stuffing with leftovers.
How was your dinner?

I don't know why, but that turkey's "ankles" still make me laugh.

It looks like a fat lady in a girdle sitting through a long sermon in church.
