I really like cooking. I'm not particularly good at it, but I sure have a good time.

What are you cooking today?

Picked up a turkey from a local farm Sunday, and was just brought in to strategically place the temperature probe. My work is done until breakdown and carving.

Pretty good! Does this mean you smoke your turkey?

No... convection, just means the ball is mostly in the wife's court 😂

We had a turkey ranch raising and processing Thanksgiving birds back in the pre-child/fiat times so it's an established rhythm

Here in Portugal it's normal on December 26th to cook with the Christmas leftovers. Is there anything like that in the States with Thanksgiving leftovers?

8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving | Vox

On Thanksgiving, Americans throw the equivalent of about 8 million of these turkeys in the trash, according to an estimate by ReFED, a nonprofit that works to reduce food waste. And this year will be the third Thanksgiving in a row celebrated amid an out-of-control bird flu outbreak, in which tens of millions of chickens and turkeys on infected farms have been culled using stomach-churning extermination methods.

My family has always a Pot Pie Night on the day after Thanksgiving. My sister (a baker by trade) rolls out a lot of pie dough and we fill as many casseroles as can be found with a varied mixture of leftovers (with cranberry sauce or without, vegetarian or mostly turkey, etc.). Throw them all in the oven and have a fantastic meal #2.

It is a fun way to include friends and family that couldn’t make the main holiday meal the night before.

Pot pie night is a great idea! In generally, pot pie us a great idea, but using it as a family get together redux is smart.

People here often make sandwiches out of the leftovers. Something I've always called a turkey tissel: turkey meat, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, celery, between two pieces of sourdough bread.

Looking it up just now, I realize there may not be anyone else in the world who calls it a turkey tissel.

We ate out this year and they had a fixed menu. We were seated on a terrace overlooking lady bird lake. It was very pleasant.

Brussels sprout salad sounds good. As does pumpkin panna cotta.

Pretty night too!

The salad was very good. The panna cotta was disappointing sadly

I'm not particularly good at it

I've just had Rajma and beans with Rotis in Dinner. Sorry, Thanksgiving isn't a day celebrated in this part of the world, (in India) nor is Turkey enjoyed.

Nonetheless I'm kinda cosmopolitan, so Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I'm sure you gonna enjoy the Turkey tonight.

American Thanksgiving is an odd holiday. And turkey is a weird tasting meat. In the US we generally don't eat a wide variety of meats (mostly chicken, beef, pork, fish), but Turkey is this anomaly. It's a fairly strong-tasting meat that is popular here.

Personally, I don't like it. But the people demand it on this day, and so I produce it.

Your dinner sounds very nice.
