Thanks! Someone remembered lol.

I plan on rebooting this later in the week.

Got ham?

Hickory smoked, maple glazed ham with parsnips, carrots and taters. Almost as good as todays shave lol.

If I take another picture it will look much the same.

Leftovers? Reboot...

8qts stock from 3-4lbs left over hickory smoked, maple glazed ham and bones.

Boiled for 2 1/2 hours with garlic and black pepper corns then strained and into the 6qt Dutch Oven.

Theres maybe 1 1/2lb's pulled ham in there with two large carrots and 3 medium Yellow onions. Seasoned to taste with salt, garlic, Rosemary and parsley.

I'll let it simmer for 2-3 hours.

We'll try! Fairly quiet -- Mrs. Hippie and I, plus the dog who will of course get her share.

Leftovers? Dunno. "Allow 10 pounds of meat per person" right?

I promised details, so here ya go:

25 pound organic turkey, brined 36 hours in garlic/tarragon/lemon brine.
Squash with sage and toasted pecans.
Yam with apples.
Cornbread and sausage dressing.
Giblet gravy.
Wild-picked highbush cranberry sauce.
Mincemeat pie.

We always get the biggest bird we can find for Thanksgiving. We'll eat a leg or thigh each today, then the breast gets split and put in the freezer along with a load of other meat. The carcass gets turned into broth. We also save a jar of turkey fat to use for gravies later. Doing it this way means Christmas dinner is dead simple.

Mmmm....already tasting a cornbread-dressing sandwich on toasted wheat bread, with lashings of mayo. That'll be in a few days, but ya gotta keep lookin' ahead in this game.

O.H.

That sounds like a proper feast. I just reserved my fresh off the farm Turkey today for November.

I’m not Canadian. I always deferred on the turkey. Unless it was smoked… now we’re talking. I prefer the sides, or the ham. Y’all have a good Thanksgiving. Post some pictures or it didn’t happen.

Calm before the storm for me. Having a few relatives over tonight for dinher. Ham, mashed potatoes w/gravy, carrots and Brussels with panchetta/balsamic glaze. Pies are being brought over, so no idea what that entails. Usually apple and a strawberry rhubarb.

We do the brussels with panchetta too. Red wine vinegar and something else. It escapes me. I love strawberry rhubarb. What time is dinner?

I’ll trade you some ham for pie.

Man, we have so much leftover ham. I love the stuff but after 2-3 days of eating it at every meal, even I get sick of it.
