@gfweb although the sodium load on that beauty had to be impressive Im sure it went down smoothly w a smilie on your face. Congratulations .

@jedovaty quite seriously why not take the bag back, and suggest your bag was missing those W. peas ?

I had a summer job at the local Univ ' Union ' , a cafeteria style eating place . It was in the down stairs dishwasher area : big huge dishwasher , very hot very steamy. It was the dinner time it was an awful job. so I promoted myself to ' bus-boy ' , picking up trays in the large dinning room area . better . then , I dont remember how i did it , but promoted myself again to the ice cream area : ice cream , sundae's etc. then I started making ice cream desserts not on the menu , by making suggestions . Dinner was not that busy I developed a small following . I just told the customers to tell the casher the item ( somewhat unique , and not on the menu ) was a ' ****** ' worked all summer as a ' soda jerk , self promoted.

same sort of dinner as yesterday , but w red wine : Motif from Tj's , @ about $ 5.00 0r so a bottle. dry-ish , big mouth feel , no Benzene [ flavors from duPont , not from the grape ] its my current Tj's table wine. delicious . I might have added a bit more wondra to firm up the sauce , next time. Im very pleased ( a bit surprised too ) that this dark meat chicken is Sooooo tender . no hint of tendons . a serious keeper. next time S&S has CkDrums on sale , Ill make more , and might start them in the IDS for an hour or two before SV.

a while back , I SV'd some plump CkLegs , from a S&S sale https://forums.egullet.org/topic/154537-what-are-you-cooking-sous-vide-today-part-3/page/87/ here they are , pre-SV. didnt take a pic p-SV. they look pretty much the same , except for some very flavorful gel in the pacs: one drum w some of the meat sliced off Note the chicken jelly . more meat sliced off . the upper L is for MC . he goes crazy for it. Ill scape off the bone later , and add that to MC's portion. Id give him the bone , which he would enjoy , but it coated w jell , and he would carry the bone around to find the exactly perfect place to enjoy it. A rug usually . My standard Campari // Spinach // pecan // EVOO plate , w Penzey's Pico & Fruta on the Campari's TJ's Coastal Chard // demi-glace // a little Wondra lower pyrex bowl . in a hot pan goes the wine/demi and the chicken. very briefly Placed : Eating this was very very good . the SV CkDrum meat was very tender , pick , and moist. a winner way for me to set up CkDrums. the wine/demi can be varied each time w other flavors : Curry powder ? etc ? etc ? the base of Campari // spinach is a staple of dinners here. Tonights dinner will be the same , but Ill try my TJ's red table wine .

@Duvel you passed on Ox Cheeks ? Ill light a candle .

gift card only got the top. no Arby's near me. just saying

Although I grew up initially in an Apricot Orchard , ( 2 acres ) , gravel and dirt roads near by. both my parents were teachers, and benefited w sabbaticals in Europe thanks to a Senator who saw something in the Future ( Fulbright ) I lived two years in France and two in Spain and went to local schools .... I saw Thanksgiving as more or less what we had : roast Turkey , sage stuffing , mashed potatoes , pan gravy peas w +/- pear onions , baked thick sliced sweet potatoes , boiled , cooled , then broiled w a marshmallow and brown sugar. much later , living in the East , I discovered various Ethnic additions : Friends of Italian heritage had the basics then added Lasagna etc. @gulfporter I like the idea of fresh kielbasa and kugelis What a feast ! BTW that apricot orchard no longer exists . they were very common there then in Los Altos , CA 1950 ++

I would not mind reading the rest . just saying , PayWall and all. Cut and Paste for review purposes ?

perhaps im missing something , which happens regularly like clockwork : WaPo : and you have to know , the vial of BBQ sauce is going to be way too sweet .

@Tropicalsenior interesting points .... Soooooo who buy them ?

@C. sapidus betting ' creamy ' ++ gets you 72 % of the ' Likes ' which , of course , counts for 72 %

I dont mind LGBoD. properly cooked , which is a very common problem they just were not part of Thanksgiving growing up.

PayWall .

indeed. its been done by my family for over 70 years .
