Well, at least in the States. This coming Thursday is our yearly Thanksgiving Day celebration and like so many years in the past, I'm having probably far too many people over for a big meal, some drinks, college and pro football on the TV and general debauchery. My guest list hit 30 this year, up from 25 the year before and I started cooking some of the dishes I will be serving to my guests today to not have to cook damn near 24 hours on Wednesday to be ready. The menu is as follows:
4 Fried Turkeys
Large pan of baked Mac & Cheese using 4 different cheeses, including Smoked Gouda
Large pan of eggplant/shrimp/cheese casserole
Large pan of cornbread dressing using my own homemade hot/green onion and smoked sausage with quarts of homemade stock to moisten it.
4 gallons of chicken/sausage/okra gumbo with Basmati rice
Garlic roasted mashed potatoes
Giblet gravy
Homemade loaves of herb bread
Cheese tray
Philly Cream cheese with my homemade pepper jelly and crackers
Beer/wine/liquor and set-ups supplied by the wife and I
Desserts are being brought in by guests including:
Pecan Pie
Apple Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Key Lime Pie
By around 9 p.m. I'm hoping the guests will be on their way home so the wife and I can get the house back in order. Last year it was past midnight before we finally hit the sack with a ton of good memories.
Chime in U.S. members and let us know what's the plan Stan.
