OT: What's on the menu? (literally, not take-out)

For me, the holidays have always begun with a big and special breakfast. This year, it looks like blueberry muffins with a homemade breakfast sausage hash. Lunch will be a lean salad. I have two fat turkey legs brining since Sunday, which is going to be smoked with applewood on Thursday. The sides will be cornbread stuffing (Stovetop, I know), and brussel sprouts hash with crispy sage (out of the home garden). I found a recipe for Emeril's New Orleans bread pudding that I will make for dessert. I'm probably going to fuck it up, but I will try. At some point during the day, I will make homemade apple fritters to munch on throughout the long weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !
Scalloped potatoes (which is a shit ton of work but worth it)
Fresh veggies
Homemade apple and pumpkin pies (also a lot of work to get the crust right)
Some type of homemade cake
Apple cider to wash it all down
I just can't imagine going to a restaurant on Thanksgiving, especially since the food at my house will be better than anything we could get out. Something gets lost when you have to cook in mass quantity, keep the food stove stable for hours and avoid proper salting and seasoning because some people could react adversely to it. But of course my views may change as I get older and less tolerant of all the work involved.
We'll be eating off of the leftovers all weekend, including some other homemade dishes cooked with the leftover meat and the very useful ham bone.
Life is good in the Dugan household. 😉
