Once you have proper plates, silverware and a fridge manufactured in the last 30 years, you may have lost the right to call it a deer camp. You might have crossed the line to a ranch house.

We have a double wide, a single wide and a bunk house.  Nuevo Appalachian-American motif.

No full spread but the recipe for Perini Ranch Green Chili Hominy kicked serious ass.  New item on the rotation.

That’s my favorite place to eat, that gch kicks ass!

Shits starting to get weird. Blood sugar coma, bourbon in hand, cowboys kicking the shit of the giants on tv, wife and her sisters singing killing me softly on karaoke machine. 

I really like this post. Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Which bourbon you drinking? Just had a little Woodford Reserve Double Oak, not bad at all.

Nothing special, Makers I dug out from the FILs liquor cabinet.

And despite my protests, the wife would not package up some turkey for snack sandwiches at home before we left.  So was relegated to reheating some cheese enchiladas and venison chili when we got home.

Turducken which came with cornbread stuffing, regular stuffing, sweet potato casserole, oyster bake, white lily biscuits, mince pie, pumpkin pie, and a pre-karo syrup pecan pie under the merengue.  Missed the roasted brussels

We don’t clown around. 

Clowning apparently involves cutting the sprouts in half. 

Nice spread though.

Because this literally one of the best things that I have ever seen.

Turducken
What is this thing? Never has a culinary item caused such a commotion!  Imagine taking a deboned turkey, duck & chicken and combining them to make one entrée! Only the wing bones on the turkey remain for aesthetic purposes. For a healthier product, we remove the fat and skin from the chicken & duck. These three meats are then separated by layers of homemade stuffing. This mouth-watering delight is seasoned with La Boucherie's special blend of seasonings.  Slice through it like a cake. So easy to bake and serve!

Call your optometrist.  Sprouts were hole, home chicken.

Just the two of us this year. Cornish Game Hen, dressing and gravy. Dressing made from a Cajun friends old family recipe and tweaked a bit over the years.

In the middle of moving, and want to be completely in by 5pm on Saturday.

We are doing Perry's Steakhouse in the Woodlands, we're so freaking tired already.

No mess, good wine and their Thanksgiving menu.

31 people at my folks place. Went hard on desserts. Happy Thanksgiving fuckers!

Crown Roast of Pork, finished chop style, with all the fixings made for a fun mixup:

wife tells me to start at higher temp and step it down during the cook, testing with knive in middle, but I think that baking is generally witchcraft. 

Pecan pies especially.  I broke a several year stretch of damn good pecan pies this year when this years pie decided to barf all the egg/sugar filling over the pie edges.  Thankfully I have learned to place a tinfoil drip catch on the lower rack.  The suger/smoke mess had I not would have been a gathering ruiner.

 

Made up for it with some collards that truly fucked.  Got my hands on two meaty smoked pork shanks and the greens/meat ratio was sublime.

Was just me, my wife, and my dad this year (the kids don’t come home from overseas for t-giving). None of us are huge turkey fans, so we ditched traditional Thanksgiving, and went to Eddie V’s, which 1) was PACKED, and 2) delivered, as always. Seriously, I e never had a miss there.

Started with oysters and Caesar salad, and then these:






For real….one of the best thanksgiving meals we’ve ever had. Eat what you want.

Ham with dressing and cranberry sauce. That is, uh, peculiar. 

Uhh no it’s not.  We have dressing and orange jalapeño cranberry sauce regardless of protein, whether it’s a ham or prime rib roast or a shrimp boil or venison backstraps.
