Gobble Day 2010

November 27, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Well, it was more like gobble days. I prepped for this year’s gobble day for 4 days….in between work, snow, school, and all that crazyness I got the job done. I’m not a big fan of the yearly buffet style eating frenzy that has become Thanksgiving so I decided to course it out for my parents, Mindy, and my friend Sean.  One reason I don’t like the normal buffet style Thanksgiving thing is that most of the food ends up […]

Do something different with your turkey- TAKE IT APART!

November 9, 2009 by ericriveracooks

Buy a turkey….take it apart….highlight each piece of the turkey with it’s own meal…..celebrate! I did those over a couple of weeks but you could easily do this same type of meal for Thanksgiving and it would be a nice change to the typical wait around for the entire turkey to be cooked. Essentially, you could create a multi-course meal from one turkey! This was my plan for Thanksgiving but it looks like I’ll have some more important things to […]
