I like the one contrarian napkin roll.

I braised the dark meat/neck/tail and used the liquid as the gravy base. I kept the torso intact, turned the minced fat into a compound butter with herbs n spices, stuffed it under the breast meat skin, and then burned down some wood in the Weber to roast it (I'll try to get more pics of the whole spread next time).

Is that Humboldt Fog on the cheese tray? One of my favorites!

Greek yogurt rhubarb bread for breakfast, pizza for the main course.

Mine too. Cheeses were Humboldt Fog, Neal’s Yard Stilton, and a d’Affinois Brie. Humboldt Fog is one of the most visually distinctive cheeses.

Leftovers are one of great perks of Thanksgiving.

Still need to pick meat from the carcass, and use bones to make turkey jook (congee).

Below, leftover thanksgiving dressing, gravy, turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, and crispy roasted potatoes.

yesterdays breakfast was leftover turkey HASH. snapped a crappy early morning light picture of it.

I'm Chinese,so legally I can call it breakfast if I put an egg on top.

Pizzas (at my wife’s request), small salad, alpine nebbiolo blend.

Curious by the term 'legally'? Yeah, eggs for breakfast a common thing for occidental breakfast—honestly tired of breakfast menus here dominated by eggs or pancakes. In my neighborhood brekkies vary greatly—from chole bhature (puri bread and chickpea curry) and haleem at the pakistani joints; dim sum or jook at Canto places; a steaming bowl of Mexican tripe soup and tortillas to wake you up; or a Full English at the pub down the road; or the grilled fish-rice-miso soup-pickle combo. BTW, your breakfast looks delicious!
Will be making tukey jook either today or tomorrow, which will be breakfast for a while.
