There's also pumpkin pie, and then a bunch of other sides my wife likes that I don't (like sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing, etc). Also not pictured is the rabbit gravy.

This is one of the rabbits I butchered two weeks ago, roasted with carrot, celery, onion, injected with Tony Chacherie's creole butter:

I didn't get pics of everything but I managed to snap these before the games began. Deep fried turkey, Jamaican roasted turkey, prime rib, honey ham... and all the sides that took up two rooms. Ridiculous.

Very nice. What is your process for de-feathering?

My wife hands them to our kids after she scalds them. They pluck & I cut.

Realized I didn't share with y'all the finished product.

We enjoyed smoked turkey and ham, alongside many of the traditional trimmings (stuffing, green bean casserole, potatoes, etc). Capped the evening off with some Amish made pie & Wild Turkey.

We had Thanksgiving at my nephew’s and it was the typically simple affair, all scratch made, Turkey, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, salad, grilled futsu squash, rolls, grilled brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, gravy, crudités, assorted cheeses, mushrooms, cookies, apple pie, pumpkin pie, tart cherry pie, cheesecake topped with blueberries, wine, cider, tea or coffee.
Then came the main course…

Big Turkey Pot Pie.
And that’s just from leftovers!

I'm a little late to the culinary party, but I thought I'd do my part. Photography credit goes to wifey.

Way too cold for a pipe, but odds are I would have used up my last bowl of Frog Morton. You'll see me in the "Show Us Your Smoking Rooms" thread someday (after the housing bubble bursts)!
