Makes a nice crispy crust on the bottom. I like greasing with crisco as well but mostly I’m lazy and throw butter in a hot pan and move it round. Nothin beats crisco. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,653 Posted November 22, 2017 When I make cornbread to go with chili, I’ll finely dice some jalapeños and add a bit of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Damn, now I want chili and cornbread. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to my Mom and Dad's for dinner. I'm going over early so she can teach me how to do everything. She is one hell of a cook but her health is on a rapidly accelerating decline. I want to make dinner for her and Dad next year at my house - because without some divine intervention, she won't be able to. Very touching and if you need some help just give me a ring. Trust me, I can cook. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, now I want chili and cornbread. Never tried the cheese but have done the jalapeño. I made jalapeño cornbread last week for my tailgate. Smoked a pork butt, pulled it real nice. Smoked pulled pork on cornbread is one of my favorites. Gonna have to try the MJ cheese though. Thanks for the tip. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can use good meat shears to do it. I highly recommend it. This year I went a step further and deboned the entire bird. I was hankering for a high quality boning knife, bought a filet too, so I went to the store bought and deboned it. I’ll roll it full of stuffing and bake. 20 lb bird, less without skeleton will be about 11 mins per lb. I’m excited to try it.

Griswold skillets and a dutch oven. A good bit over 100 years old. Which means they're almost broken in. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,365 Posted November 23, 2017 Going to my daughter's for Thanksgiving. My contribution to the meal is my bacon wrapped asparagus. For those who are health conscious I make some with 4 stalks of asparagus. I had some asparagus left over so I decided to make some...ready for this...pork roll wrapped asparagus! Not to raise any further arguments I made it with Case's not Taylor so it is pork roll. Happy Thanksgiving to all. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AVB-AMG 530 Posted November 23, 2017 My wife and I are down at our beach house on the OBX of NC. This year it is just the two of us since the family is scattered all over the U.S. right now. Last night for dinner I made our traditional fresh crab imperial with bits of salty Virginia ham, along with my hot and spicy chili, all washed down with several local craft beers. For Thanksgiving dinner my wife is cooking a turkey breast along with the key fixings. My dish is the family recipe for creamed onions. Cocktails will include rye Old Fashions during the football games, followed by a nice Australian Shiraz with the turkey. Wherever you are and whom ever you are with, I wish all of of you a very happy Thanksgiving, sharing a delicious meal and enjoyable conversations with family and friends. AVB-AMG P.S. - Last night I should have made Displaced Texan’s delicious sounding jalapeño corn bread to accompany my chili. Oh well, next time... Sorry for the double post....

Rye old fashioneds sound good right now. I like to serve Turley Red Zinfandel with my turkey. It’s a bitter of a peppery zin, goes well with bird.
