You guys got me slobbering...eeh... I mean salivating, no not about you cooking but about you camping in November.
Camping out here this time of the year? Out deer hunting yesterday just about froze my nose off…after two hours exposure.
Love the South West.

Where is "here" for you, Beamer pilot?

The components - Turkey breast on the grill; mashed potatoes and green beans on the camp stove, rolls and gravy on the camper stove:







The final result. Granted, no stuffing but the wife doesn't eat it anyway.

Good job, Ted -- looks great! I think you get extra points for actually baking the rolls in an oven!
I like that you included the traditional gelled-cylinder form of cranberry sauce. That's how I remember T-day from my childhood at grandpa/grandma's house...before food-radicals introduced the whole-berry form.

Looks really tasty -but- I just can't envision Thanksgiving dinner without stuffing.

x2!

Looks like a great job Ted! Did you serve in your good slacks and tie?

My indirect grilled whole turkey - sage & lemon and maple wood smoked is legendary as is my oven baked stuffing. My father in law could live on my stuffing alone. Points for me! No cranberries here except in the sparkling apple cranberry cider. We're having left overs right now!

How about nothing but stuffing?

My memory is of a trip brought on by exam induced insanity during grad school. We decided to spend Thanksgiving day hiking into Avalanche lake in the Adirondacks with food supplies consisting of nothing beyond a box of glazed doughnuts. There was a dusting of snow and nearly frozen glazed doughnuts are an interesting substitute for hot turkey and pumpkin pie. It was a Thanksgiving we are never likely to forget.

I have no arguement with the pro-stuffing crowd. Personally I love it, too. But I was out of burners and something had to go. Since that is the thing only one of us likes, it drew the short straw.

No, it was casual night. The formal wear only comes out when we have important company.
