Thanksgiving 2003

Hey, go git your flu shot if you haven’t already. It is such a collosal waste of time to be severly sick like that. I went down November 28th and didn’t get back to work until Dec. 8th. That includes a week of pneumonia too, so go get your flu shot today!
There is some back tracking to do here. Since I was out so long, you never got to see our Thanksgiving Day meal. It was a real traditional one; I didn’t smoke or deep fry the turkey. Mostly because I wanted gravy, must have gravy. If you have no gravy, you have no meal.


And this meal was no exception. We had gravy! My sister made sausage & mushroom stuffing with a wonderfully tangy tray of macaroni and cheese. It got a little crispy, which turned out fine because we all like the crispy bits. The mashed taters were done fresh right there with two sticks of butter with milk and tater water. Simple. The gravy was made with the drippins, chicken broff and Viking Smoked Salt.
I believe the only thing I did different was cook the turkey upside down. It was flipped over just to brown for about 30 minutes or so. The breast meat was drippy juicy and the skin was crispy tasty. Then we ate it.

  1. But there were no rolls to sop up the delish gravy and there was no pie! This is what happens when the MeatHenge baker falls to the flu.
    I didn’t get the flu, but I did get a killer cold a few days after breathing the same air and drinking from the same cup as MeatHenge son #1.

  2. Thank you Mrs. Meathead for making the macky cheese so crispy. It’s just the way I like it, yummmy! Also, your stuffing kicked ass! Please make it again for us sometime.
