I spent my day making Stock, in the style of Vietnamese Pho. I think I cooked the stock for about 8 hours, using a wide array of spices/aromatics and about four pounds of Oxtail. So what did I do when everything was done?
I made tuna salad sammiches tonight to go with tomato basil soup. I really like adding pesto and dried cranberries to the mix along with spices. I would normally add green onions, but the bf cannot handle such awesomeness.
Coq au Vin, made it for the first time. I know it doesn't really have beans in it, but I just had these leftover cannellini beans and wanted to use them. Amazing...was able to flavor chicken, beans, mushrooms, onions, all from the power of bacon fat and wine. It was just...comfort food.
Okay, I got a new stand mixer after it was on sale at Amazon. I'm really itching to try out some desserts and breads.
I want to slowly make an ascension, making pizza doughs, pies, and hopefully one day get to really hard desserts like macarons. Can anyone give me some suggestions for quick or quirky things to make?

Luckily I had some left over curry roux. I did something similar to what scott did but I added a few things. It had no heat so I took some Chinese yellow curry, put it in the oil as it was being heated in my wok. I also added some chopped purple, yellow and white potatoes from the farmer's market. It was sooooo yummy.
Made chicken cordon bleu for dinner. I'm also about 10 min out from completing the pumpkin to pie conversion process. The pie is pretty much all from scratch too.
Making a blueberry pie tomorrow for my mom. Its the only pie she wants for Thanksgiving. Also I am going to make greenbean cassarole with bacon, artichokes and cheese!!! Mmmmm! Pics will follow!
I can never get my universe to turn out right when I make a pie from scratch. Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Ann Coulter always end up existing. Now I just buy premade pie crusts.

You're using too little oil. It's making the whole thing too flaky.

Anyone else doing actual Thanksgiving Cooking? Here's the cook list for me and my brother.
-Brined/Roasted Turkey (Off Alton Brown's awesome recipe) -Mashed Potatoes with Pecorino Cheese -Macaroni and Cheese -Andouille Cornbread Stuffing -Corn -Green Beans -Gravy which'll be made from drippings of Turkey -Sweet Potato Pie using my special crust. -Rolls, which split into 3 delicious tearable pieces.
We're doing chickens here, but yeah, Thanksgiving is coming to the UK.
Any chance I can get your stuffing recipe?
I'll post it real fast, this is the first time I've ever made it, so I'm not sure how the results will be. Plus, this isn't a stuffing that's in the cavity, due to this being a brined turkey.
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium sized chopped onion 8 ounces (2 links, if we go by Aidells) chopped Andouille sausage 1/4 cup chopped green onion 2 stalks of celery, chopped 2 carrots, chopped/peeled 1 green bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tbsp of chopped chives 1 cup of cornbread, crumbled (Made with Cornmeal, Flour, Milk, Baking Powder, Salt, Egg, Safflower Oil, and Sugar) 3/4 cup chicken stock Cajun Seasonings, aka Salt/Pepper/Paprika/Thyme/Cayenne/Oregano/Chili Powder
1. Preheat the oven to 350. 2. Heat oil on medium 3. Saute the onion, carrot and sausage for 3 to 5 minutes. 4. Add celery, garlic, pepper, saute another 3 to 5 minutes. 5.

Place in a 9 inch baking dish, and leave it in the oven for about 25 minutes.
Just made fried dough balls with my daughter. Do I even need to post the recipe?
It wasn't until I was cleaning up that I realized I should have used my cheap wok for the deep frying. Now my good wok has a yellow cooked on oil line all the way around the top two inches of it!
This is my, very amateur, fledgling vlog, explaining the recipe for my Bacon Leek Goat Cheese Tart and experimental Bacon Caramel Rice Krispie Treats. Specific details are in the authors notes.
I'm a bit late on this I think, but with that list of ingredients you've got most of the core stuff for a gumbo. You could also wing it and make some sort of stir fry from all that.

Oxtail Risotto. Fuck yeah.
PUMPKIN JUICE!!!! If this goes well, then there will be some pumpkin soda.

Haven't cooked anything big lately. Next time I do, I shall post pics.

I'd like to combine some or all of these into a tasty dinner, perhaps using spaghetti as the base carbs of the meal. What would you guys suggest?
