Thanksgiving day non-traditional dish...

Back home we always have chitlins and collard greens, damn I miss good southern cooking.

 

all that talk about bacon makes me want to say ROLL TIDE ROLL!

 

Got sick of doing traditional turkey dinners, so six years ago we switched to a traditional Japanese dinner, tons of sushi, sashimi, oshinko, hand rolls etc, just sitting in a pile of pillows on the floor stuffing your face and drinking sake and Asahi. My nephew developed a seafood allergy, and now can't eat it, so everyone else gets deprived of it as well. Grrrrr. Back to dry-ass turkey and gravy with too much salt, 100 fricken degrees in the house, kids yelling, my blood boiling. At least the Lions will be on TV.

 

every year we have fried oysters. there is usually a fight for the last ones.

 

Orange Salad:

Good sweet oranges peeled and sliced in rounds

Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

That sounds good as hell!

Do you heat/ grill/ saute them at all?

 

Lasagna, it just came out of the oven

 

Steamed oysters FTMFW!!

 

Nope, you just leave them sit and marinate in a casserole dish.

We eat them from fridge temp to room temp usually.

My grandpap Marco from Italy made this all the time.

Still Turkey: I just quarter it and grill it with a pomegranate sauce and glaze..... takes less then half the time as baking it plus (as every man loves....) you are GRILLING!!!!! Just a little different then the baked turkey...... try it and let me know....

 

Smoked two turkeys yesterday. Today we debone them and make smoked turkey and sausage gumbo, deep fry three more turkeys and put at ham on to smoke at midnight.

Add some nice homebrew beer and wine and them watch the Horns beat Aggie...

 

My mom always makes dirt pudding. It has oreos, whipped creme, creme cheese, and other stuff I guess. Thats the one item I always look forward to.

 

That's what you get for living in Mexico, I mean Az. My sister in law lives in Scottsdale. Happy Thanksgiving

 

Ravioli. I guess that's traditional for Italian families, though.
