Both. As I'm homebound with this damn hip there will be no trip Kinnick this year...so its leftovers and football all weekend for me.
BTW - due to popular demand we are having one of those sugar cured spiral cut hams from Trader Joe's...it better be as advertised for $65.00

Neither. I’m totally breaking with tradition this year.
I’m dog sitting.
I’m not in meat eating mood, so I’m having Maine lobster, stone crab claws, corn and bok choy.
After 30 years of smoking the turkey in all kinds of weather in St Louis, making the corn pudding, etc, being my mother’s slave, I’m eating what I want to eat.
And this year, it’s shellfish. I’ll also make a bisque and ceviche.
And next week, when everyone else is dieting, maybe I’ll find picanha on sale.
But, everyone enjoy. 😻😻
But maybe lamb will be on sale.

For sure. When my dad got sick, the gas smoker disappeared so my mother bought a charcoal smoker. I can do both, but I like to smoke year round, so in CT, I had propane.
So from about 2007-14, I was in charge of smoking food, and I was the only one my mother let in the kitchen.
My parents would tell my older brother, Alan, go bring in firewood so BC can make the fire.
He really is pretty useless if I’m around. He has his younger sister be his wingman, and sits in front of the fire, keeping court, while I’m outside in the elements making his dinner.
We do Beef tenderloin with a red wine sauce that is so fing good, it's amazing.
I’m making a crown roast of pork, but we will also have a smoked turkey.
Sounds delicious. What are your sides - traditional to include sweet potatoes that go so well with pork?
I’m in charge of the pork. I left the rest of the meal to everyone else. My sister makes stuffing. My brother makes potatoes. Someone is bringing pies.
