Post Your Thanksgiving Meals! - Ryanti - 11-26-2015
As you know (at least in the US) Thanksgiving falls on this day, and I am extremely stuffed.
I'm curious about how the members of the RPC chose to celebrate.
For me, it went a little like this.
The Meal:
Grilled New York Strip Steak: 12 ounce
Mashed Potatoes with Brown Gravy
Homemade Dinner Rolls
Corn on the Cob (Grilled)
Grilled Veggies
Sweet Tea with Lemon Juice
The Dessert:
Homemade Pecan Pie
Eggnog
SO WORTH IT.

Because we work at a casino, my husband and I had to celebrate a day early. Spent all of yesterday in my little kitchen managing both space and time to crank out a bangin' holiday meal like a culinary Time Lord.
End results:
Dry-brined 15 lb. turkey slathered with a compound butter
Sweet potato casserole
Mashed potatoes
Homemade dressing/stuffing
Roasted brussels sprouts with pancetta
Homemade cranbetty sauce
Caesar-style salad with maple balsamic vinegarette
Pan gravy
Cosmopolitans
Today's leftover was a buffalo turkey burrito--cubed turkey breast tossed in buffalo sauce, shredded brussels and cheese wrapped in a large flour tortilla and seared to seal and reheat the insides.

True story.
Wasn't able to make it to Maryland this year where my family is so me and my husband just munched on random things for our Thanksgiving and had egg sandwiches. Don't feel bad for us though, I make badass egg sandwiches! \o/

I cheated, I went to the grocery store and bought a drumstick for my kiddo and a couple slices of breast for me, as well as some sides. Buuuuuuuuuuut in my defense we were busy slicing, dicing, canning and freezing fresh deer meat. Totally got an electric grinder just for the occasion. It'll be in soon and I'll have delicious venison burgers as well.
And also it was just the three of us anyway, we don't ever celebrate holidays on the days you're supposed to.
We're rebels.

I'll just have to bug the ladies in Brockport who hunt. Maybe get some deer bologna or something.

I've been staying with my mother while I've been trying to get back into the work-force and get myself into a situation where I can establish an apartment for myself and my husband (who was in Missouri with a student that was about to test out for his CDL), so I had dinner here with her and my brother, and my grandmother came over as well. And we had:
Roast turkey
Apple/onion stuffing/dressing
Mashed potatoes
Butternut squash
Corn nibblets roasted in the oven
Steamed broccoli
Pearled onions
Cornbread
A few little bowls of random nibble things (cherry tomatoes and baby mozzeralla balls, olives, pickled watermelon rinds, etc)
Cranberry sauce
For drinks, we had a jug of cider... which my brother drank most of before dinner, so I only got a sip.
Dessert, we went to my aunt's house to meet up with the rest of the family. And we had options of:
Apple pie (two types, needed one that had gluten-free crust cause Celiac's)
Carrot cake ('secret recipe' type)
Cherry pie
Cheesecake (homemade vanilla bean with gluten-free chocolate cookie crust, with option of chocolate ganache or raspberry sauce topping)
Chocolate cream pie
Some concoction that my aunt called "poor man's cannoli"... I think it was cannoli cream in sugar cones. And pumpkin flavored. I did not feel safe to try.

Meal 1: Ate with my father and his wife's extended family.
I had turkey, stuffing, dumplings, mashed potatoes, and fresh corn from their garden. Everything was smothered in delicious gravy. I had a piece of chocolate cake of dessert.
Meal 2: I ate with my grandparents. Much of the food was the same but had grandma's special touch so it was better. Also smothered in gravy.
Meal 3: Ate with my mother and step-father. They didn't bother cooking as they were too busy planning a winter trip to Florida so we ate at an Asian restaurant called Taste of Asia.
I had 8 pieces of unagi, two pieces of salmon sushi, two pieces of tuna sushi, and an order of 6 gyoza. None of it was smothered in gravy.
