Juan’s Thanksgiving
Juan wrote to us: “Since my side of the family is Mexican, we also made Molé sauce and more turkey along with Mexican rice and slow cooked pinto beans. Since everyone loves to drink.. We also had Jungle Juice and Moonshine options besides the traditional pop, beer and wine. Party started at noon and ended at 2am. Perfect day / night”

Tony D’s Louisiana Irish-American Thanksgiving Feast
From Tony, “Being an Irish man living in Louisiana we like to mix the cultures up we usually means passing out in a pile of Crawfish after too much Jameson. This year we did it differently with some smoked sausage appetizers smoked sausage appetizers. Then we Injected the Turkey with Garlic and butter and lots of Cajun seasoning and then popped it in the Cajun microwave, then we finished it off in some rendered bacon fat in the fryer. The finished product was delicious and rather eye catching.

Jeff in Va: “We do traditional Thanksgiving on Wednesday with the in-laws, but then do a big dinner on Sunday to break out of the turkey monotony. Homemade Brasciole, meatballs and “red sauce”. Sausage and peppers, pasta, veggies, salad… The Works!”
