Thanksgiving Feast Pics

I thought I would post some Thanksgiving Food Pics today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I should've posted these last week.

Hush up now. Ya'll will be alright.

(Besides, you never know when they will come in handy for some virtual parties.)

My sister Kentucky had been hollering hard about cooking for Thanksgiving. She went to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving last year, and realized that she had no leftovers the next day. So she wanted to cook this year.

(No going over to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving this year. We heard through the grapevine that our Uncle Tweet was cooking for all his "substance-abusing" friends. Ain't NOTHING worse than having to keep an eye on one's keys, purse AND car.)

She didn't bake a turkey. She purchased a fried turkey somewhere down in Buckhead.




Tom Turkey looks a little needy. It was a good turkey, though. I prefer a baked turkey (unless it is fried by someone's Lousiana uncle or somebody like that) but heck, she bought it, and that was cool!

By the way, it seems that the new trend now is the "Turducken". Has anyone heard of that? Well, it is a turkey, stuffed with a deboned duck, which in turn is stuffed with a deboned chicken.


That looks a hot mess. Somebody must've been smoking something when they came up with that idea. They run about 85 bucks prepared. That is way too much to be paying for a piece of meat.

Kentucky baked a ham.


It was good. We have a TON of it left, and I am not a big pork eater. I am bringing some of that to work tomorrow for my cubicle mate Cowgirl Cre. Heck, I might just set up a platter over in the break room.

Now, the ONLY thing I baked was the macaroni and cheese, because I was taking it to someone's house. I baked 2: one for home, and one for my BFF LadyTee's fam.


I grated up an old loaf of french bread for the topping, but I could NOT get the top to brown. It was ready, all crunchy and what not, but wouldn't brown. I don't know what was up with that. LadyTee's family killed it anyway. And I was particularly disturbed when I had to hear from her man... "N****, how you just gonna bring one pan of macaroni and cheese???!"

I thought it would be enough. It was all gone by the next morning. We still have plenty at home. HUMPH.

Kentucky's collard greens were off the chain! She should've made more!


There ain't NOTHING like a good pot of greens flavored with smoked turkey. NOTHING. For me, this was the best part of Thanksgiving.

Last but not least, she made some chicken and mushroom dressing.


It was very good and quite mushroomy. It should've been, since she bought every doggone can of soup in the store.


(Kentucky, did it take all that? GEEZ).

(I have a funny related story about the dressing, which I will tell later this week.)

She cooked alllll day Wednesday, and for a couple of hours on Thanksgiving day (I had to hip her a couple of years ago to that being the right way to do things, lol).

I supervised her, from my spot on the sofa, lol.

We had a good Thanksgiving feast. Very good.

And I hope you did too.
