Gameday Menu

[Dex]

Good morning ladies and gents and a happy thanksgiving to you all! Nevermind that pretender in the other thread I assure you this is the official gameday thread and dopplegangers as well as ranch sympathizers are not allowed. Now lets get into it...

 

Thanks giving is a little different at my house we have three main courses on the docket for today.

 

1. Your classic turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted apples, fresh crecent rolls and assorted veggies all smothered in delicious gravy.

 

2. Since it is gameday we are also having my famous slowcooker lasagna.  Complete with ricotta and mozzarella cheese and chicken Italian sausage.

 

3. A special gameday surprise. There will also be nachos and plenty of them. Assorted toppings but the most important one remains. Monterey cheddar jack cheese. If you are putting any other cheese on your nachos you are doing it wrong. 

 

Well there you have it. So post your delicious eats today Huddle and don't forget your drink of choice. Also please remember.... PICS ARE ENCOURAGED!!!

6pm Thanksgiving evening here in South Korea. Last year I baked a turkey (had to cut in in half to fit in my tiny oven) and made some of Auntie Fee's potato salad, dumb mac-n-Cheese and some other things. This year I am busy trying to start up a business and have been working to perfect my sausage recipes.

A few weeks ago in a true Dex Gameday Menu thread I posted about a new bratwurst recipe I was working on. (Cant recall if I posted pictures) in tribute to the Green Bay game. Here is a picture of those I grilled a few of to eat again this past week for Washington.

However the tabletop grinder/stuffer unit I have is crap for actually stuffing. Since Im about to take a few months off work to take a course and stack up another professional certification, I didn't want to blow a few hundred buck on a proper vertical stuffer (With the import duties over here such things are close to 250 bucks even for the cheapest unit)

So, I thought I would take a chance on this cheap sausage "gun". My hot Italian recipe is pretty solid now so I decided to make up a tiny batch to test out this sausage gun.

Worked pretty well but I learned a few things about its use. I eventually managed to work most of the air out of these sausages that you can see in this pic afterward. My gameday menu? Fresh homemade hot Italian sausages on a bun with mustard, mayo (I know, but i love it), grilled onions and peppers.

And ohh yeah, a few pints of Boddingtons~

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving all~

That Brats were not too bad despite their mealy texture. The Italians I made just a little while ago I made smaller because the bun availability here is crap and cant handle a big fat sausage~

Ill spend next week doing the Brat recipe again with the gun and making up some smaller maple sausage links as well~ Once I get the real machine, I'm hoping to kick off the first and only "fresh" sausage (as in not precooked, smoked, no msg...etc etc) outfit here in the southern part of the country~

Beautiful.  I must say, being a pretty knowledgeable person about food, that's the first time I've ever seen peas on top of mashed potatoes and gravy

Ha,  ha,   funny story.  My cousin and I have been best friends since we were toddlers.  My family moved away when I was 10 and I moved back when I was 25. The first Thanksgiving we spent together as adults,  we both put our peas on our mashed potatoes. When we saw each other's plate,  we both said that was the first time we had ever seen anyone else do that.
