Whatever my friend's Diwali spread this evening will be what's for dinner - no idea what, but I'm sure it will all be delicious ... except for the icky items that may have spinach.

I was asked to buy HoneyBaked items for Thanksgiving so I followed parental directions. However, I did buy a turkey which they don't know about which I will smoke Friday or Saturday. I'll likely also make baked shells too as I know my brother's family will be here on Sunday and possibly Saturday night. |
Corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes, carrots(for Ms. B;)).

In honor of Thanksgiving, I'm preparing to make a massive amount of traditional green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions. Mock me all you want, but I absolutely love that stuff.
I would have done it already, but I just discovered I don't have enough milk. So I'm off to the supermarket to buy more, and then yummmmmmm. EDIT: 12 cups is a lot of green beans. :eek: |
Enjoy the yummy green beans! We will just roast ours. Ngl one family member has to SERIOUSLY watch the heart stuff so we are intentionally reducing dairy, cholesterol (meat), sugar… so it’ll be turkey breast with vegan butter, several veggies that will be roasted with only olive oil, salt, pepper; stuffing will have bread and then chopped veggies & almonds & olive oil. Plus the gravy will just be vegetable broth and flour. We are being ultra careful.
I will make thanksgiving next week in SF for the family. before our FT DO, I was chopping onion & celery & dried apricot for the stuffing; slicing carrots; halving Bxls sprouts; and then seasoning those individually and the green beans. Our hotel has a normal size fridge so we are storing stuff.

After 30 seconds of pause, hums/hass, I did tell her I had one thawing in the garage to cook tomorrow and I had both refrigerated mashed potatoes and instant potatoes too. Will still do shells or a ziti this weekend too. |
Given my disdain for every traditional Thanksgiving food save stuffing (c'mon people; turkey is sandwich meat, not a main course), dinner tonight was a perfectly reverse seared to medium rare NY strip steak and twice baked potato. Appetizer was herb- (not Herb) grilled shrimp (thanks, Central Market chef's counter) and Bloody Marys.
Oh by the way all traditional Thanksgiving desserts suck too. Slice of chocolate mousse cake procured for later. Now what whiskey to pair with that to cap off my Drunksgiving feast? |
Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing, purple hull peas, Lima beans, corn on the cob, rolls, and deviled eggs. Oh and pecan pie and cherry cheesecake.
|
Turkey (cooked with a simple NYT recipe, though I added some 40,000 heat unit spice to it), sweet potatoes, homemade relish and stuffing, stuffed grape leaves (metche) and salad. Way too much food, but great to be with my parents for the meal. Dessert was homemade apple pie as well as keylime pie with homemade whip cream.
time to fast for a week :p |

these are From my dead parents-in-laws’ kitchen. Once my wife and her sister took their desired things, they shared stuff with the mizbucha including Dansk. The mashed potatoes last night were cooked & reheated in the Dansk red round pot. We have enough kitchen stuff and insufficient space so it was definitely good to see it not go somewhere that we’d again see it. |

Mustard not needed. thanksgiving: [blah blah blah. gimme more pastrami!] I did buy some Carnegie Deli brand pastrami at the Central Market deli counter yesterday. The physical Carnegie Deli is gone but the brand lives on as a supplier of meats to other delis (and also a concession stand at Saratoga Race Course!) |

That pastrami sandwich was clearly the culinary highlight of your day! Is there any decent Jewish deli in the Bay Area anymore? During my childhood, Brothers Deli in Burlingame was ok but it's been gone for a long time now.

Happy Hour with my girlfriend at Merchants turned into dinner -- even though we went at 3:45pm.
It's been snowing this afternoon, so we both started with a cup of their turkey and orzo soup. Not a ton of flavor, particularly spice, though it was still good. https://photos.smugmug.com/FlyerTalk...IMG_9554-L.jpg We split the truffle goat cheese dip with fig jam https://photos.smugmug.com/FlyerTalk...IMG_9557-L.jpg Followed by the pork belly burnt ends. https://photos.smugmug.com/FlyerTalk...IMG_9558-L.jpg |

Made some A5 for a snack while setting up the tree. My 6 year old stormed in, “I want more meat!” I’m raising monsters.
after looking at the picture of doggy, she looks so aggressive but was so happy! Got some of the rendered fat mixed with her food too. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...20f9bf190.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eccec2eb3.jpeg |
After watching a chef reacting to Uncle Roger reacting to a biryani video, I made myself some unhealthy fried rice (day old rice, scrambled 2 eggs and mixed in two eggs), chinese sausage (lup cheong), some (frozen) peas and carrots and corn (veggies don't have to taste sad), some gailan stalks (had the leaves with oyster sauce) cut against the bias. No soy sauce, no tofu, no MSG, nothing dodgy. I did toss in a few teaspoon full of spicy fermented tofu liquid which did up the flavour.
And no, the "rice" was not freekah. |
A fried boneless pork chop, potatoes and cabbage (with bacon, onions, and caraway seeds) tonight in Oświęcim.

Hahaha....My mother always believed in a balanced diet and would always force me to finish my veggies before I could leave the dinner table. Being the youngest of a rather large family, I was the only one who had an issue with veggies--I just hate their taste. The only foods I ever found palatable were primarily steak & chops (poultry was ok and I treated fish like veggies), and this had gotten drawn out during so many evenings, my father got so tired of my whining, he just made an executive decision and declared, "ok, just leave him alone, he's not changing." From one "monster" to another, my compliments to your 6 year old! PS - The best part, my father hated veggies too! LOL On that note, dinner last night was a muffin full of Oreos and chocolate chunks: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...221ecb5c33.jpg |

I love this story - I was the youngest by far, and my parents massively enabled my picky eating by carrying around an ice chest full of yogurt and milk to restaurants. Vegetables - no way! Meat - no way! I didn't eat a burger until I was 18. My close family did not care to fight, but darn did it cause fights with extended family during holidays - probably why I dislike holidays now and spend them traveling, enjoying the foods I want to eat.
My father was the youngest and I'm the youngest of the family. As such, I was the favorite of my grandparents who spoiled me rotten, which, as you can imagine, created a bit of resentment from my siblings and cousins. During family gatherings, most of my older siblings and cousins would pick on me for that reason, and I still remember my grandmother and favorite sister always sticking up for me. So, like you, while I attend the more obligatory family gatherings, I'd much rather dash off somewhere exotic and roam around left to my own devices. I'm starting to envy whatever sojourn you've been on, which seems to be almost 1/2 a year? And, all of those pizzas will likely have me order one soon, maybe for football Sunday. PS - To this day, during family gatherings, the first thing out of my mouth after entering is always, "where is my favorite sister!" |
A delicious chicken breast on pumpkin purée, plus zucchini, radishes and beet sprouts in Gdańsk tonight. No idea what the spots of brown-black sauce were.

We decided on Indian this evening and it was delicious. Dinner began with the meat samosas (my girlfriend wasn't a fan, but I enjoyed them). I chose the chicken biryani and she got the butter chicken. I also had a cup of masala tea which they offered free refills on. We split an order of the garlic naan and the roti.
