Turkey day fun. Smoked a butter and her injected turkey and also some Disney style turkey legs. Also did a few breasts  plenty of leftovers for the game Sunday  

[mjp28]

Wow some serious turkey grill work there jcam.

Remember too guys & gals out there turkey isn't just for Thanksgiving earlier this year the wife got some great turkey thighs from our meat store.  They are really meaty and delicious and can be grilled, baked, fried and I'm sure other ways.

We had them both grilled and later baked which were delicious!! I may have her put a few recipes together.......

.........hmmmm, getting hungry for a big GAMEDAY weekend.  Michigan v OHIO STATE -and- BROWNS v Bengals.

Well GAMEDAY FOOD, there's still some good turkey day stuff left for Saturday -and- Sunday it's supposed to be near 50, might grill some Italian sausage maybe some good red and green peppers and some olives to snack on.....yeah that sounds good!

Sounds great!

Holidays and GAMEDAY done just right, even the low key downsized ones. We've been in this house for 33 years this was the first one ever it was just the two of us. It's been so hectic this year.

But we had plenty of phone calls, emails and texts......and relaxation.

LOL! I spoke too soon. Daughter & her family were exposed to stomach flu of some kind on Thanksgiving so we are just bring stuff over for them. Daughter in law works late and our son is going going with her to visit a friend up from the Coast Guard in Austin when she gets off @ 8pm. Best laid plans as they say. At least a grandson is loyally staying for turkey.🦃

That so called 'stomach flu' is a bitch.

Saturday GAMEDAY meal Italian sub sandwich with black olives, salsa and corn chips, etc. GO BUCKEYES!

Sunday GAMEDAY it will be 60+ degrees, USDA CHOICE CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF, BONELESS STRIP STEAKS  out on the grill and they look good plus all the trimmings maybe stuffing and some green veggies plus a Sam Adams Boston lager, GO BROWNS!

[flyingfooldoug]

Ok,  an oldie but still the best.  Get a case of your favorite beer. 1 box medium size milkbone dog treats. 1 packet Lipton beefy onion soup mix. Prepare soup as directed and start drinking. When soup boils, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to it and stir till thickened. Pour into a dog dish and chill. This makes a fine dip for dog biscuits. They’re a bit bland. And it seasons them up nicely. The beer helps too. It’s really fun and yes, I’ve eaten many like this. Dill or horseradish go well with it too. 

Fuck dem pussies from Cincinnati, show em how the BIG DAWGS party!!

[jcam222]

My latest smoker project is going on sandwiches for the game tomorrow. Buckboard bacon, pork butt brined for 2 weeks, applewood / hickory blend smoked , pepper crusted , sliced and vacuum packed. Yielded 20 lbs. plus some Canadian bacon as well.

Looks great! Where’s the milkbones? At least for game time 

[mjp28]

You guys are kind of nuts in a DAWG POUND kind of way, GO BROWNS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~●

For GAMEDAY TODAY we're having cheese, crackers, olives then Italian pork sausage on a bun, I think a Rice-a-roni side dish.

For Sunday still TBD, will decide later today. Christmas is coming, a deluxe beef bourguigon for our 3 pm dinner. Ummmmmmm.

[calfoxwc]

Wife got me some special southern self-rising soft-wheat flour. Made bisquits, and finally, I know how to make the best

bisquits ever. I'll make sausage gravy, and I'll have breakfast during the game. I won't have to go to Bob Evans for a long time now.

I made some 15 bean soup with a giant, meaty ham hock from the store and some yellow rice. The perfect meal to warm your bones and fill you up. My Pops and I were having a blast with full tummies and good football to watch. And my dog loves her some Papa. 

 

[Canton Mike]

Yesterday, our tailgate was mostly pretty standard stuff (burgers, 'dogs, brats, bacon wrapped smokies, etc) but I made a good sized batch of my beef jerky & it was a hit. We decided it is good luck, so it will be added to standard fare at our future tailgates. Last home game I took bacon wrapped olives which are good IF you like olives, but most of our guests do not, so those are now off the tailgate list.

I thought you might be going to eat the dog.  Are you Korean?

My first thought too. Ate that in Vietnam and it was actually quite good. I don't recall if it tasted like chicken though.😋

When I was a kid, I could go through a jar of 'em. As a saltaholic, that must be the reason. One of my favorite adult beverages is an extra dirty martini Bombay Saphire please (replace the vermouth with olive juice) and extra olives. If they're stuffed, pimentos ruin a perfectly good olive. Blue cheese is nice though.

PS as a saltaholic, it was a really happy day when I discovered soy sauce was essentially liquid salt.

I found out about 30 years ago that I run a low sodium......hooray for me.....I like most people love salty stuff. 

In fact now I can eat almost anything on my diet. Makes GAMEDAY MEALS more fun!

And for me olives of either color were in a near 3 way time for guaranteed gag reflex food, both barely beaten out by room temp asparagus out of a can🥫. As an adult I can take the black ones if they are well disguised in a Mexican dip for tortilla chips.🥘

What you ran 30 years ago is probably not true now.

PS- I don't like asparagus either.

Someone send hoorta a truckload of Ramen soup! 

Ramen? When I make French Onion soup, I reduce that beef stock down to a silly  level- if you want to talk salt overload. My drunk mushrooms- garlic, butter, white pepper, lots of Gallo XO brandy- with a real healthy dose of salt.   

[hoorta]

Mike I apologise- it looked like a double post, both went away- please re do it- I'll leave it alone this time..  

[hoorta]

PS the Hoorta had a fine Christmas swilling with some wine appreciative company.  As I like to call them "church wines", because on my retirement budget- they're not replaceable anymore.  For the ladies that don't like red- a 2005 Selbach Oster riesling auslese. We thought it was muy bueno. We just put out trays of stuff like bread, crackers, various cheeses, cappacola, prosciutto, etc no need to do any heavy kitchen stuff. Big wines of the day were a 1990 Chateau Leoville Poyferre, and a 1983 Cockburn vintage port. Both quite yum.
