BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

So how does she think her daughter is gonna handle almost every one around her eating meat in front of her everyday for the rest of her life?
There's personal choices and then there's sheer absurd insanity.

Sounds like a good year to ditch the fam, call your friends, get stoned and eat appetizers all day in sweats.
I swear for gawd Friendsgiving is so much more fun.
... what do you get to eat?I would die for a tofurkey...not gluten free though
I get to go to dinners & lunches at both my mom & dads sides of my family, my wife’s family, & a Friendsgiving. There’s ham, turkey, usually some form of wild game, dressing & giblet gravy, a buffet of casseroles & sides, & desserts at all of them & alcohol at my wife’s side & our Friendsgiving. Then we eat on the leftovers for several days after!!!

Now thats more like it.
That plating looks marvelous!
However, just looking at that I need some tums.
We have what nowadays is called the modern family. Couple stepmoms, stepdads, moms, dads, in-laws....you get the point.
Thanksgiving at our place starts with breakfast for half the kids that have other houses/ families to celebrate with.
Scrapple, homemade sausage gravy and biscuits, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, home fries...so on.
Dinner usually consists of brined turkey in the oven, dressing, sweet potato casserole(I swear my wife's recipe is like crack!), mashed potatoes and another side or two TBD.
For the non turkey lovers we always have either home made lasagna, stuffed shells or baked ziti with garlic bread and this green stuff, AKA salad. Lots of leftovers.
I might take @Pennywise827 lead and smoke a bird. I've smoked a lot of pork but never a turkey.

@havana1 put a drip pan down...first one I did, my kids declared that was the only way they would eat Thanksgiving turkey. My wife made a seperate turkey inside for the first 6 years because she wanted gravy...well 2 years ago I went with a drip pan and we had both smoked gravy and non smoked...no one ate the nonsmoked turkey OR gravy.
It will be a smashing hit.
