Thanksgiving is spent with a group of friends each year. We rotate hosting which includes doing the turkey. Everyone else brings sides and desserts and wines, etc.

The Pineapple Au Gratin is one dish that is demanded every year so I'm taking that.

I'm also taking a bowl of Superfood Salad (which I posted here a while back) and a couple of bottles of wine to go with the different courses.

Do any of the rest of you 'rotate' holiday dinners like this? I really like it.

I think I'm going to cash in on the after Thanksgiving sale and get a couple of small turkeys. I'll spatchcock one and put the other in the freezer for later.

There are some really nice organic 'natural' turkeys out there nowadays.

It is especially good with a baked ham, but it goes with anything.

The ingredients aren't something that you would ever think of as going
together, but I will try this soon. I love to try unusual recipes.

As much as I don't like pineapple in anything (prefer it off the fruit,
or straight out of the tin), this sounds intriguing, and slightly
disgusting ;-)

The SO loves pineapple in just about anything, and cooked anyway, so
I'll make up a batch and see how it goes for the next party.

As for 'rotating'..... I usually host the large Christmas
gettogethers.... but i have been told that this year, we are being
hosted.

I was a little 'miffed' to start with, but then thought about all the
hard work, and the weeks and weeks of prep, and thought "Bugger it!! I
want a rest this year!!" :-)
So now I'm looking forward to just rocking up, eating and drinking, and
going home ;-)

All you need is a shotgun and a hunting license.

Well, you can see the pellet marks on the meat and know where to dig for
them but this where a metal detector would come in handy to scan the bird
for any leftover pellets.

I used to be a big fan of wild duck.

I used to do all the cooking for the shooters in the neighbourhood.

We got used to spitting out pellets :-)

I'd love to have a cinnamon ice cream recipe. That sounds deliciously
spicy.
