We'll be heading to Miami for Thanksgiving with my wifes family (Cubano) where they typically roast a Mojo marinated pig served with black beans & rice along with Yuca . Its absolutely fantastic but not Anglo-traditional. So, right now I have a 15-lb turkey resting happily in a nice brine. I will cook it this Saturday and serve with my Mom's most excellent cornbread dressing. My daughter has a favorite green bean casserole that she likes to make as well as some more lip smacking favorites.

Thanksgiving has become my most favorite holiday. Much less stress than Christmas. :)

I have to say Christmas is less hassle for me than Thanksgiving. Christmas day, the tree is already up, presents have been wrapped, we don't decorate the house. Family comes over, we unwrap presents, grill steaks and eat. That's pretty simple :)

Grilled steaks on Christmas sounds good to me Bayou. We'll simply re-do our entire Thanksgiving menu for Christmas.

Christmas dinner for us used to be a standing prime rib roast with garlick mashed potatoes green beans and all the trimmings. We finally decided grilling a steak was a whole lot less trouble and just about as good..

Want something cool, something you will be known for? Pick up 2 or 3 of these things Square Egg. You dont need to make a plate full of them just put a few among the regular eggs and watch people's faces. Whats really amazing is the yoke inside also becomes square.

This is so intriguing. Bayoutider, How does this thing work? Is it spring loaded or something that converts an egg to a cube while boiling? Or, is a boiled and peeled egg placed in this press to convert it (while still hot)? Obviously, I would need directions to have any success.

Place the still hot (it has to be hot) egg inside the egg cuber then start screwing the lid on. The egg will be compressed inside the mold into the corners, you can watch it happen. You should only use extra large eggs they seem to do better than smaller sizes. Once the egg is compressed put the whole thing in the refrigerator to cool for a hour or two then unscrew the top and push the egg out from the bottom. That is all there is to it. The amazing thing is the way the yoke inside is almost perfectly square also.

Use some whole peppercorns to make egg dice for a centerpiece.
