Thanksgiving food prep thread

[noharleyyet]

Potato roll dough after third punch down. Decades old recipe from Lubbock when 4 families gathered together for Thanksgiving and ate our doves from mesquite thickets, and ducks and geese from the playa lakes. Good times. Wouldn't trade them.

Light, fluffy, great with butter for the day, and for turkey/ham sandwiches after. Lasts 2 days, as if thats an issue. Roll pictures to follow.

Good rolls are my Achillies....

I've never made pecan pie.

Incredibly easy, and it’s awesome.

Ok so

I love pecans and I've never had pecan pie. I need to do something about that.

My family has been making the same pecan pie for over a hundred years. It's a no corn syrup recipe that really let's the pecans shine. My great grandmother wrote it down in 1914 not sure how long we've been making it.

Interesting. Sort of like a diet pie without the extra sweets added.

 

[Keep on]

Sweet potato pie out of oven.

I think I’ve only ever made one or two pies. I prefer to eat them, not bake them. But pecan is my favorite holiday dessert. Those pies look great!

My to-do list: Orange salad done. Turkey in the brine. Stuffing tomorrow. Wine in the chiller. Friends bringing the rest.

Yep. Although let's be clear there will absolutely be a corn syrup pecan pie tomorrow as well and I intend to have a slice of both. Although like @Outlaw99 said probably save one for the next morning with coffee.

Mine has 4 different sugar sources in it. I also normally add a little cayenne on a tip from a Cajun friend but left it out this time.

 

[Wildabeest]

I made two attempts at pumpkinseed toffee. Butter separated from the sugar both times. I gave up.

Everytime I see your food it reminds me of the saying "people eat with their eyes first". Your presentation is always spot on and I bet it's as good as it looks.

Antelope shoulder. We’ve got the bird too but I figured why not have a little variety.
