Let me see if I can couch this in terms you'd be able to relate to better... How do you feel about a picnic table molded out of instant mashed potatoes?

I'd fuck the eyes off of it, but I'd hate myself in the morning.

Anybody else have an inexplicable fondness for instant mashed potatoes?

I just can't enough of the stuff. Maybe it's all the effort that goes into making good mashed potatoes from scratch, but the instant stuff is very satisfying for routine occasions.

We need to have a "All-time greatest school lunch items" thread.

As a child we sang about our school dinners - to the theme song of a weekly farming show.

The chorus went like this:

"Say what you will,
School dinners make you ill,
Poor David he died from the shepherds pie,
Our school din dins come from pig bins ...

Out of Town"

You can imagine this always brought a smile to the help staff that served up the slop. Happy Days.

I don't get the "out of town" twist. Is it more seemly if the food comes from local pig troughs?

Out of Town was just a good song with right meter to fit the words.

And it was a farming show - hence pigs.

Though I suppose you could think of it as the slop had to be smuggled in - it was that awful. (Though I doubt that five year-old children were thinking that deeply about it.)

My Dad is always in charge of the turkey. Mom usually divies up the rest to us (and our spouses). She'll make the home-made mashed potatos & giblet gravey, dinner rolls and the pumpkin & pecan pies.

I'm making two types of dressing: a sausage, apple, cranberry stuffing (I tried it last year & it was pretty good) for those who don't like the "real" Thanksgiving Dressing, and then I'll make/bring the pinnacle of my, my Dad's & Brother's Thanksgiving meal...Oyster Dressing! mmmmmm! :chompy: (my mom can't stand to even make it)

Then my wife is making the corn pudding & green bean casserole.

Sister is making a really good version of a cranberry sauce, and probably an oriental salad (mandrin oranges, ramen noodles, sliced almonds...good stuff)

We always have lots of munchies around (olives and veggie, cheese & nut trays, etc...grandma always said, "did you get your silage?")

Then we have to sit around with a Crown & Egg Nog watching football or playing euchre.

It is the perfect day!


Happy Thanksgiving all!!!

:cheers:

I make the Turkey - stuffed and baked on the Weber kettle grill outside. Frees up both the ovens for the Mrs to do pies and green beans and sweet potatoes.

When I was a single guy, some of my buddies came over with a spur of the moment idea to cook a small turkey. In my fridge (besides quantities of beer) were two apples, some Jimmie Dean sausage and a big box of croutons from a long gone girlfriend. I put pecans and the sausage and apples in with the croutons and poured the water that I cooked the giblets with over it all and stuffed the bird.

It came out great. Over the years I have added cranberries to the mix, and it is usually awesome.

Once you have a grill baked turkey you will never put one in the the oven again. They come out with moist white breast meat, and have a slightly smokey flavor. Not "smoked" and not barbecue, but a hint of it. The bird will cook faster by almost an hour too.

Gator - does it make a difference it the grill is gas or charcoal?

Or do you have a "Big Green Egg"
