Not something we celebrate, bama. And for Christmas we eat ham, like it's supposed to be done.

We do a big pot of Lima Beans and ham hocks for Christmas... and Cornbread.... Or a Ham....

Quote: I would love to do a duck but the Grandmas would turn up their noses collectively. Hey Alaskan.... Have you ever had TurDuckIN....?

Pfft, 30 lbs ham it is.

OH Yeahh.... Getting that in the oven is going to be fun....

Quote: I am there with ya Ronott

NO HAM!! duck, duck, duck, duck, lots of Duck...or goose!

Wahahahahaha



You probably serve cranberry jelly, dontcha?

Cranberry is an American thing.... So is Turkey....

Thanksgiving is 1 of my favorite days. You should really look into importing it....it has been a long tradition in my family to cook a ham and a turkey for both thanksgiving and Christmas. We have cornbread dressin, dumplins, tater salad, english peas, devilled eggs, brown and serve rolls, and that weired canned cranberry sauce. The only bad thing about thanksgiving is having to hang out with weired relatives

Oh I love that jellied cranberry sauce.... Whip that into a little vodka... oops I digress. Thank goodnes I LIVE with my wierd relatives....

I'm thinking maybe duck for both thanksgiving and x-mas.

I am going to try a boned stuffed Turkey this Thanksgiving... With roasted bones to make the gravy... Oh and instead of mashed potatoes.... Doing those finger potatoes I did for my sons Birthday.... EVERYONE ... all three of them... raved over them. I thought they were pretty good too...

Proper feast :

Duck or goose

Thick giblet gravy

Corn bread dressing

Knödel

Sweet potatoes

Beans with bacon

Pumpkin pecan pie for dessert

CRAZY beans YUMM... and plain ole Pecan Pie for me....

Quote: Oooooohhhhhhhoooo.....

Appetizer for lunch.
Ceviche.
Organic home grown Roma tomatoes, green onions, red onion, white onion, Serrano chilies, sea salt, peppercorns, diced raw turbot and scallops marinated overnight in lime juice.
I prefer sea bass (corvina), but in the middle of the country one can't argue with any firm white non-oily sushi grade fish.





I think I had too much vegetation in relation to fish but it is delicious.

Oh Yummy..... I love Ceviche....

Those eggs are beautiful!

@perchie.girl yep, we once made our own turducken. Almost didn't eat that year, it takes FOREVER to cook, since it is so big and dense.

oops, forgot to say that those carved eggs are VERY impressive!

 

[hennible]

What are these potato fingers deb?

 

[chickadoodles]

Those eggs are beautiful!

x2 beautiful!

 

[Double Kindness]

Those eggs are beautiful! I went and took 14 pullets to the chicken swap today and brought home 10 roosters and 4 muscovy ducks and 3-4 huge red warty things pumpkins

. Now we're drinking wine and eating chocolate, pork chops are thawing out from the hog we picked up today. I'm exhausted after plucking chickens.

 

[drumstick diva]

Yes. Need to know about potato fingers or finger potatoes whichever. Sounds good except for the 'fingers' part.
