Mrs. FMB! is getting a turkey from her work today, so we're doing turkey (we usually do something different - we've done prime rib, to steaks, to lasagna before). I'm thinking about putting it on the PBC and smoking it. Never done that before, though, so doing it on Thanksgiving is a little dangerous. But it's just the wife and me this year, so not a major ordeal if it doesn't work out.
Side: Probably stick pretty traditional. The wife demands simple mashed potatoes and gravy and dressing. And she'll probably whip up a pecan and pumpkin pies. I also have a slow cooker recipe for green bean casserole from ATK that I'm interested in trying. |

plan on doing three days worth of shit that I don't want to do.
I LOATHE thanksgiving and X-mas. any time off from work is spent zig zagging all over the city visiting and doing the appearance thing. each year pray for 10' of snow so we're snowed completely in and I actually get a relaxing 3 day weekend. As it currently stands, it's 3 days of pure chaos, close my eyes and wake up and it's Monday and time to go back to work.

This is probably a good place to ask.....
WTF is up with Green Bean casserole!?!? What's the appeal? For many people, it seems like the quality of the green bean casserole is what they base the quality of the entire meal. I've had green bean casserole that other people said was bad and I agreed that it was bad. I've had green bean casserole that other people said was fantastic and I thought it was bad. Every time I've had it , it tasted like green beans in cream of mushroom soup.......not appealing. I like green beans. I like cream of mushroom soup (ESPECIALLY as a substitute for milk and butter in my Kraft Mac-n-Cheese). Put the two together and they seem to diminish each other in some way. |

grocery store last week had samples of prime rib made in a slow cooker. it was phenomenal. they only have it twice a year, and it's $9 a pound, but im gonna give it a shot.
also will check out the price at the butchers' shop, just to compare.

I've never seen someone judge the entire meal on the GBC. I never used to like green bean casserole, but then I made one from Paula Dean, I think, that was really tasty. I think it used some cream of mushroom soup, but it augmented the mushrooms considerably. |

fairly traditional for the wife's family. I'm deep frying a turkey and going to sous vide one.
For my side of the family we will get together on Friday, and I convinced everyone to just go out to dinner rather than making another Thanksgiving feast.

I'll be honest - it doesn't even feel like Thanksgiving considering the crazy mild weather we've had here in KC this month (not complaining in the least, just saying). That on top of this year being so ridiculously hectic, I'm not sure what we're having or if we're even doing it at all. My work has a sign up sheet for people that want to work Thanksgiving day, and I'm considering it. Triple time doesn't sound bad with the holidays coming up.
