/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I made:
16lb turkey, deep fried (brined 16 hours with salt and brown sugar)
Oyster dressing (fuck yeah Southern style)
Kabucha squash casserole (boiled then food processor with heavy cream and cinnamon, brown sugar and butter on top)
Roasted cauliflower
Sauteed green beans with garlic
Homemade cranberry sauce
Marinated mushrooms

We also had baked Mac and Cheese brought by my brother, and Syrian-style stuffed grape leaves and kibbeh made by my business partner's wife. For finger food giant platters of veggies and crackers with my homemade hummus and tzatziki sauce, fig-stuffed brie, and an olive medley.

Best Thanksgiving I've ever had, and the only one where I cooked almost all the food. After trying the kabucha squash casserole (one guest couldn't eat potatoes, rice, white bread, etc due to diabetes, so I wanted something he could eat) I don't think I'll ever go back to sweet potatoes. The kabucha was sweeter, creamier, and more flavorful.
