Dinner, what's up?

Spatchcock chicken rubbed with fresh ginger, jalapeño, cumin, curry and sea salt in the smoker.

 

Experimenting with my canteen cup set-up in a controlled environment while considering a kayak packable menu.

Simple but tasty.

 

Later this afternoon we are having "Home Made" GUMBO!

Saving room for tomorrows FEAST at a friends home! Being a Country Boy growing up cant hardly believe the table settings. It is always amazing to me the spread they have there on Holidays. The dining room table is Hugh and seats 12 people easily. And regarding the spread, it will range from appetizers of all kinds, cakes, pies, turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, casseroles, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, ice tea, soda, coffee and even their traditional wine toast for the Holiday. Oh and for some of us an ending evening with some Bourbon. Simply put overwhelming! Can't wait!
And for Winds they will have a very large tray of assorted Pickles and various cheeses on it.

And thinking of Thanksgiving I feeling very sorry for the folks in Commiefornia this Thanksgiving! They need to rebel! This is America!

Reheated steak, and yes I ate all of it

 

Dinner today: crab cakes and steamed veggies.

 

Seared a Top Sirloin, served it with steamed broccoli, and some refried beans.

 

Chinese takeout.... Sweet and sour chicken. I need a nap now.

 

Our convenience store has started making take-home-meals basically like frozen dinners but fresher so they brought in a bunch of those for us for lunch today. I had chicken bacon Mac and cheese that was actually pretty good. Not like anything I cook myself but good for what it is.

 

Ham with pineapples, smashed taters, green beans, carrots, cornbread and carrot cake.

I can hardly move.

 

Brined, dry rubbed, apple and pecan wood smoked and finished with a maple/bourbon glaze.

 

Here is the picture. Didn’t seem like it wanted to load.

 

Turkey breast medallions wrapped in bacon, seared it off and then put it in a 300-degree oven on top of some dressing for an hour or so to finish. Made green beans almond one to go with it. Might have some sugar free pumpkin pie later.

 

You kiddin'? Just got busted. 3 AM snack. Home made rolls and left-over turkey. Damn dog must've heard me rattling around the kitchen. Had to pay off the snitch when he started whining. Thanksgiving is the bomb!
