No bird to be seen anywhere near the Resident Genius World Headquarters. Manicotti, pistachio ravioli with a béchamel sauce, super Chianti wine, opera tort, and cannoli. Yeah, we left the gun but took the cannoli.

It's good, but I have no idea how to make it. I suspect that apples are involved in some capacity.
I looked up Alton Brown's recipe, looks like sort of a mixture of cider, mulled wine, and nog, made with beer and fortified wine.  I think I'll give it a shot this weekend, temps are supposed to drop a bit and feel a little more fall/wintery.  We hit almost 80 today, so I'm drinking rose' not holiday stuff, right now.

Tomorrow my brother got called into flying at the last minute, but we're still heading over there to have dinner with SIL and their son. He's about a year older than my oldest, so they'll get to be nerdy teenage boys together. My wife and my SIL will drink lots of wine and gab, and they don't have a TV so I won't even be watching football...

...hmm, maybe I should take the iPad and just run the Hulu app...

Got a 10# standing rib roast that I will likely cut a hunk off and vacuum seal to freeze for later because it's too much meat. That said, even though it'll only be 7 people, two of them are teenage boys, so I can't cut too much off. Maybe I'll even just cook the whole thing.

Menu:


  • Relish platter appetizer, 2 types pickles, 2 types olives, pickled asparagus
  • Standing rib roast
  • My MIL's green bean casserole recipe, which is WAY better and more fancy than the standard one (which I also like)
  • SIL's mom's potato bake
  • Stove Top Stuffing (her son likes the one from the box)
  • Dessert: mini bundt cakes


I could be missing another side somewhere...

Everything sounds great, except I think I died a little bit inside with the Stove Top Stuffing.

And with two teenage boys, I'd go ahead and cook the whole rib roast.  Leftovers would make great paninis in the coming days...

Yep. I made Ina Garten's sausage and herb stuffing for our Fake Thanksgiving on Sunday, and ate the leftovers for lunch on Monday. That was good.

Stove Top, well, I'd object if I hadn't had the good stuff already...

We went to Costco and the wife talked me into getting their "kit", which has everything for $24.

We invited a neighbor who said she had no plans.  We'll have some of this to get rolling, it's quite good I think for the price ($32.99 in GA)

Home made stuffing
Mashed potatoes w home made gravy
Sweet potato casserole 
Green been casserole

One time my i s c & a aggie wife's parents insisted on hosting Tday lunch instead of doing non-traditional dinner like they normally do, and they made the mistake of assigning the dressing to her brother's new girlfriend from Delaware or Rhode Island or some other generic yankee state.

When we got there, and my wife saw that the girlfriend had made Stove Top Stuffing, she just about lost it.  We somehow made it through that meal (without her touching the stove top stuffing), but ever since that day, my wife has completely shut down her parents any time they start acting like they want to do a traditional Tday lunch.  She loves my mom's cornbread dressing and will never again go without on Tday.

The ship is doing a traditional TG menu tonight, including lobster and mussels, as any traditional TG menu should.

No venison, thankfully.

Turkey cooked properly is good, it's usually dried out to the point of requiring amendment.  Some folks cook to 150°F.  Our oven has a built in T probe which works nicely.

Many supermarket turkeys come with a preinserted timer set to pop when the temperature of the bird reaches 178 degrees Fahrenheit. But if you wait that long your breast meat will be dry and overcooked. We recommend that you remove the bird from the oven when the breast temperature reaches 165 degrees and the thickest part of the thighs reaches between 170 and 175 degrees.
