My DD just told me that turkey is 'trash' meat. So, goose it is! And we will have enough sides (and my portuguese meat based stuffing), that if the goose turns out terribly, then oh well!
I'm shopping tonight for tg groceries. All I'm really on the hook for this year is the turkey, gravy, and taters... but I'm sure I'll wind up making more stuff bc I can't resist.We are cooking at the cabin this year, which does not currently have a particularly well equipped kitchen. It will be like camping lol!
I'm trying to have all the stuff at the cabin (kitchen and other rooms too) be stuff that's either extra stuff we had at home or stuff we pick up for free. Eventually we will move out there as our full time house and I don't want to wind up with an expensive two of everything there. So, we are improvising/making do for now. It feels a bit like it did furnishing my first few college apartments!(Except, I have a LOT of kitchen stuff already. And certainly no shortage of dishes, thanks to my in-laws....)
so our menu is set (after much hemming and hawing with mr. 'poo)*spiced nuts for snackin'confit turkey legs with chile crispdauphinoise potatoesroasted brussels sproutsgreen saladfocaccia with garlic and spring onionscoconut cream pieand several bottles of claret*all pending the return of cooperative sense of smell - everything in my house smells and tastes of soap at the moment (don't get unvaxxed OG covid, yo)
That sounds yummy witchy. Is it just the two of you, or are you hosting?
That sounds delicious except no GBC.
I like to try out one new recipe every Thanksgiving.https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023511-roasted-brussels-sprouts-with-cinnamon-butter-yogurt-and-chestnuts?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-shareEverything I’ve made from Ottolenghi has not just been good, it’s been out of this world so I’m expecting to like it.

Yes, how were they?
Yay, Jan! I was nervous for you remembering a very fatty messy holiday Goose but my mom said it was actually a Capon. We had a very traditional meal but yum. 20lb bird but with the 3 day dry brine, butter under skin, and spatchcock..delicious. Delicata squash, plain asparagus (weird addition because it had to be used), pear and spinach salad, mashed sweet and white potatoes (I didn't bother with either..we have too commonly at home), and oyster stuffing (so many oysters to pluck out .. soo good).Amy, how were the brussels?Sent from my SM-F711U using Tapatalk
