Too much, suffice to say.
I've got the split between my parents and inlaws. Lunch at 12, drive for an hour, dinner at 5. It's a little much!
Two turkeys?

Yes! Two hams, two dressings, etc. Currently en route to number 2. Kids are napping, wife is driving, so I'm chipping!
Traditional turkey with stuffing and lots of sides

Late afternoon traditional meal at our niece's new home, with most of her (and Karen's) relatives present. Quite a spread for somebody also tending to a one-month old (plus a toddler):

Pics, as promised...

Main Shindig...
The food wasn't nearly as dark as the lighting would suggest. I'm a chef, not a photographer!

I recently had that wine at this restaurant in Baltimore’s little Italy. It’s fantastic.

I enjoyed it while playing indoor bocce inside the restaurant with some colleagues.
I’ve never had deep fried turkey. Need some of that in my life.
We bought a case of it at the winery when we visited Italy last summer. I'm glad they've made it stateside.
Careful where you’re pointing that gourd.
Non-Traditional Thanksgiving a day late (due to my oldest being sick).
Hope he's feeling better today.

I forgot to add (because the lack of pics)... cinnamon infused vanilla ice cream. The perfect sidekick for an apple pie.

I've had smoked, roasted and deep-fried. Deep fried gets a lot of kudos. Peanut oil and turkey play well together. However, Deep fried turkey
- Dries out the wings and the ends of the legs
- Is inefficient for getting a proper brine
- Does not allow for gravy production
- The oil is "expensive" if you are cooking a single bird, adding $30 - often more than the cost of the bird.
- Oil disposal
- Specialized cooker.

Turkey breakfast:
Turkey Stuffed French Toast
Turkey (leftovers) put into a food processor along with cold gravy (leftover), bacon (from the oyster course), and sausage spices. Blend until fine (it'll look like sausage).
Add cranberry sauce (leftovers) to a saucier (small pot) with a little sweet white wine (leftover, or just an early start on the day). Boil until thick (it may need a little whisking help).
Slice a pocket into a thick slice of Challah Bread and fill with turkey mixture. Dip into egg whites (leftover from making the ice cream). Fry one side on a buttered oven-safe skillet. Flip it over and put it into a 300°F (150°C) preheated oven.
Plate it up and top with cranberry gravy.
Sounds insane. Made it once about 5 years ago. Now @Mrs Poker Zombie makes sure to pick up Challah bread when shopping for thanksgiving - it's really that good.

Trying this local diner out tonight in Cleveland

One of my best dinners ever was by Michael Simon. This would be an easy choice if ever in Cleveland. You will have to let us know if it was worth it. I'm sure it's overpriced now, and well... who wants to go to Cleveland?

Pricey, but not the priciest place. Steak is about 45, highest priced item was Dover sole at 65. Food was excellent!
