Some of those Youtube veggie virtuosi are showing 1/4 inch cubes as good. I learned something today and yeah, diced is a safer term in my knife-laden shaky paws.Let’s just call it a small dice, and be done with it!

A sharp knife is safer than a dull one when dicing vegetables. Or for anything.Some of those Youtube veggie virtuosi are showing 1/4 inch cubes as good. I learned something today and yeah, diced is a safer term in my knife-laden shaky paws.

Except for that one time he detuned my main knife, nothing special just my Forschner 7.5.

Turkey or ham for Thanksgiving? I bought both but since the ham will last and and the turkey is thawed I'll be doing a turkey. Not a big one just 11 pounds but that's plenty. There's only going to be 4 of us. The lady and I will be taking the turkey over to moms and my brother is coming over. The rest of the family is spread out across the country and will have to fend for themselves. 
I'm planning on spatchcocking the bird, a simple brine, and then an hour in the smoker before going into a hot oven. I don't want a ton of smoke so an hour with a mix of apple and cherry should be good. Then into a 425°F oven until done. Spatchcocking makes the bird cook faster and more evenly.
Sides will be mashed potatoes and gravy, ruby sweet potatoes which are called yams in the store despite not being actual yams, rolls, stuffing, green beans, carrots, etc...
I just made myself hungry.

Ugh, you reminded me that I have to cook all day today. Time to make pies and turkey brine and deviled eggs
Keep in mind, I’m cooking for three people including myself this year, and one of us doesn’t even eat meat!

I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks for the reminder. Not as pretty as yours. I didn't pipe mine just used a spoon. But they taste good.

I started yesterday as well. But it's nice to get things out of the way. All I have to do today is cook the turkey and make the mashed potatoes. Everything else is prepped and either in a pan ready for the oven or as with the veggies ready for the steamer.
The reward is worth the work. Time to pig out.
