My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....
the dark meat is great for chicken and dumplings. I’ll usually break it down because it’s about $5/pound here. (verse like $10 for 2 breasts…) so if you’re not needing the full bird for something, you can always re-freeze whatever you’re holding. And the chicken and dumplings are great for family meals. you can make most of it ahead of time, reheat and drop the dumplings when the family is ready to go.
It is a lot. but, the prep is spread out over several days, so there’s that. makes things manageable.
so, briefly, Uno… you divvy out a stack of cards. each card has a number value and a color (or are wild here.), or do something (reverse play order, and stuf.) The card being played means the next person has to pick up 4 cards. the goal is to drop all your cards.
the “joke” is, she killed him for that. I don’t particularly find jokes about domestic violence funny.
[Question] Are you cooking something other than turkey for Thanksgiving?
