    Had some solid mac and cheese, the good kind in pie/casserole form not the goopy Kraft-like crap. Stuffing was rote, got just a little for some flavoring. Turkey was Cajun-fried, dark meat was nice, white not as juicy but like the texture difference, skin was perfect. Took a bite of what I thought was squash casserole and it was actually one of those horrible old southern lady pineapple casseroles. An unwelcome surprise. Sweet tater casserole was chock full of candied Carolina pecans and was as it should be, a dessert before dessert. There were butter beans and field peas but I passed on those. Wish we'd had some collard greens.

    There was apparently a Cornish game hen shortage, so I roasted a duck instead and ended up with approximately 1.5 cups of delicious duck fat.

    We weren’t going to host family with a 2 year old and 3 month old and no one else offered to host so we just did our own thing with my wife’s mom. Also I despise Turkey as a main dish

    Ribeyes with Garlic butter
    Roasted Brussels sprouts
    Wedge salad with homemade blue cheese dressing
    Sweet potato casserole
    Hash brown casserole
    Pumpkin Pie
    Apple Pie

    I do think this will be the last time I do Turkey. It was fine, but there’s a number of dishes I enjoy more than Turkey that are also easier to do imo.

    I guess my only hesitation is I love the side dishes that come with Thanksgiving, dressing/stuffing chief among them.

    With the turkey deep fry debacles. Is it just due to still being frozen in the middle or the oil is too high and overflows?

    I think it's probably 45/45 with the last 10% being someone fumbling it and throwing oil out even if it is the right amount.
