Didn’t do sweet potatoes. I love them but my kids don’t. It won’t be for dinner—the itch has been scratched. We’re done cooking. Somebody, somewhere is gonna cook for us 😄

Gonna be pretty Norman Rockwell for Thanksgiving at stately ness manor: roasted turkey and gravy (courtesy of my baby brother), mashed taters with a little sour cream, cornbread stuffing, corn casserole, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, pumpkin pie and tiramisu for my baby girl. 

What’s on your menu?

We had Turkey, Ham, Brisket, scalloped potatoes with fennel (recipe included 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream!), mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, cheesy scalloped sweet potatoes, dressing, baguette - crisp and hot, wild rice and mushroom stuffing, a lovely thinnish gravy made from the turkey pan with some fresh made stock, grape salad, ambrosia salad, pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie, roughly a case of wine of various descriptions, lots of coffee, conversation, a fire in the backyard pit and finally, Chinese checkers.  It was epic.

What's cooking now?  A browned pound of boston burger, a loaf of velveeta, a can of rotel and a half cup of brown sugar all melty and melding in the crock pot waiting to be on a Frito when the time comes.  Football dip don'cha know.

Today I finished making turkey stock from the carcass of a 20 pound bird. The stock is brown, not pale, and redolent of that roasted smell. Tomorrow I will scrape the fat from the top of the stock and save it for some reason or another.

This afternoon I frenched a two bone pork chop I will share with my beautiful wife. I will sear it and then roast it to barely pink. In the oven I will also roast some small gold potatoes. On the stove top I will pan roast broccoli. Tonight's theme seems to be simple but bold flavors.

Finally got our Thanksgiving on at Montauk last night. Brined & spatchcocked, & roasted an 18lb bird on Wednesday. Made gravy with the back, neck, & giblets. Did the dressing & a Dutch oven turkey breast yesterday. Others pitched in with the mashed potatoes, sides, & desserts. 20 in the wall tent for dinner last night. Got the campers winterized and just got home. The catching sucked but a real good time.
