Just the three of us this year, so invited another couple who are visitor-less also. Asked the girls if they would prefer traditional, or something else. The Butterball was $41.22, and the prime top sirloin was $61, with a $10 off discount, so only $51. Sorry bird, you lose this year!!! Add in shredded potatoes in heavy cream, and fresh veggies and we have a winner!!




All seasoned and rubbed up, taking a 24-hour nap!!

Gonna be a great meal, enjoy it sir

Now that’s going to be good !

Beats the snot out of gobble, gobble.

The dinner came out pretty darn good, as expected, and everyone said it was wonderful. Everyone was stuffed by the time we were done.

After 4 hours at 225 degrees, the meat was right at 130 degrees, so pulled and wrapped to rest. I thawed out too much of those big Argentine pink shrimp for the poppers, so ended up with both sautéed shrimp and baked poppers for appetizers. The shredded potatoes were just a little work to make, but cooked up great in the heavy cream, and they were a nice addition. Made a spicy mushroom/worchestershire/dijon/cream gravy sauce, and also the standard horseradish and sour cream mix. Topped the whole thing off with the shrimp poppers and it was a heck of a meal!!!

That looks like a fantastic meal! Hard not to eat too much with a spread like that!!
