Thanksgiving! What Yuns Making? What Yuns Doing?

Had a minor illness that cancelled our plans so we've down sized. Doing a turkey breast, ham steaks, baked apples, mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, asparagus casserole, creamed corn and biscuits with a store bought chocolate satin pie for dessert. Should work for an ad hoc meal.
Ad hoc... It'll do
 
Sitting in Myrtle Beach, SC about to head over to my sister's place for turkey, dressing, gravy, cooked cabbage, mac and cheese, pecan (pee-con) pie and pumpkin pie.
 
NGL, it took me just a sec to work out how the bottles were "suspended" above the bar sink. In my defense tho, I'm slightly buzzed. 🍻
Ruh roh, I see some Captain Morgan there
 
Cajun turkey (but not fried), cajun broccoli/rice casserole, cajun stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, tropical fruit salad, pumpkin pie, apple pie.

My buddy Gustavo did a great job on his first Thanksgiving. The Pavo was falling off the bone moist and he nailed the gravy! Made a Guatemalan recipe apple salad that rocked as well. Tortillas were hand-patted by the grandma down the street. His son Miguel and grandson Gustavito are in the photo - then they took off for the big game - Antigua Panza Verdes vs Los Rojos de Municipal.

Finished up the Thanksgiving Italiano meal here! Good stuff! Ex loved it all. Dogs loved their prosciutto bones. Great conversation. Good friendship. Hope it's been a good one for you all, but I know many of us have unfavorable circumstances. Whatever the case, let's just be grateful. Imagine the original intent of the day: you didn't know if you would eat for the next year. We take it for granted now, but it's a worthwhile holiday, no doubt.

And that Swiss chard pie is damn good!
 
You are a trooper nyc! How spry must they be to want to go shopping on the craziest shopping day of the year? Are they old school masochists? ;)
They are in amazing physical health, especially my aunt. But my mom is showing some early dementia and in any event has always been a diva, so this could be … well, we’ll see.
