We had our turkey last week, no sweet potato, beans, pie, just turkey. It was not that good.
Now we have leftovers. I am going to vacuum seal them as breast, thighs, and legs/wings.
We put garlic butter, and pineapple chunks under the skin before roasting it but it took hours to cook, probably six, as I recall. Unbeknownst to me, I did not have the temperature set properly on the oven. This F to C is not easy. Well, the computation is easy, just finding that particular tiny little number on the oven dial is a whole other matter.
The taste of the breast was ok, however, the thighs, legs, and wings were amazing.
Now, we are on to making more menudo. The panza, (stomach), at Costco, here, is so clean we do not have to do much of anything to it except cut it up and boil it.
I am looking forward to the bacalao we will make closer to Christmas. It originated, I believe, in the Middle East, so you can imagine the combination of flavors. Mmmm.
We have turcos to make, also Middle Eastern. The best way I can describe them is a sweet pork meat mixture in a pastry turnover. Again, the above few dishes are traditional foods only during the holidays.
We hope you all had a pleasant start to the holiday season. And, we hope the season progresses uneventfully.
In the mean time, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
