Everybody went on a drive to Hollyweird, no shit.
So, I have the house to myself to prepare everything. I'm just taking a breather for a couple minutes.
Still up in the air, but I'm making progress.
Good hunting. El Bee

Thanks for asking!
Dinner was a success, believe it or not? The turkey was very good except that I somehow overlooked the giblets when I stuffed the bird? I managed everything, even the yams were appreciated. However, I had opened two cans of cranberries and stored them in the refrigerator, but forgot to put them on the table. Nobody mentioned the oversight. I have a hell of a lot of ham left over which was just insurance if we ran out of turkey. But, we didn't. Didn't even have to resort to dark meat, which I don't mind anyway.
What this event did was leave me with a healthy respect for the females who are usually tasked with providing and fixing the grub we all consume on these holidays. It's a lot of work, and in my case, stressful!
Good hunting. El Bee

Thank you!
My son is an enthusiastic cook. Me, not so much but there are a few things I tackle, like my spaghetti, which is superior. Including my meatballs. They can't just be rolled up hamburger, I blend them with egg and cracker crumbs and spices. Then, I fry them first, to brown them before submerging them in the sauce for hours. I fry the sausages also, just to brown them, and then simmer all of it for several hours. For me, spaghetti really should have meatballs, but ribs, chicken and even pork chops is ok, once in a while. To me, just about any meat is enhanced by simmering in spaghetti sauce. I'm not too big on mushrooms and go light on chile, my spaghetti isn't very hot.
I do a pretty good corned beef dinner, too. That's a lot of work. I'm a busy cook, don't leave it unattended for very long. You also need to taste it for evaluation; comprende?
Good hunting. El Bee

I've delved into cooking somewhat, my wife bless her just ain't into it. She does OK mind you, but 'eh
We make lots of meat & eggs around here, pretty simple stuff. I'm working on chicken, I love me some fried yard bird-yum !!
Speaking of which I was in Vale Oregon today, about 20 miles away, stopped @ the market there & got some yard bird. Dang pretty good stuff !!
(edit)
What a hick town, ya gotta' love it. Women in dresses & cowboy boots, another gal wearing a Stormy Kromer. Good times & friendly folks.

Wife not into it? In my opinion, her mother's fault. Too pampered growing up.
Firstly, my wife couldn't hardly boil water when we were first married. Guess what? Her mom not only didn't care about cooking and feeding her four children and husband, but never asked her daughter to jump in and help out. I guess some of these females expect to eat in restaurants their whole life, which is good, I guess if you are married to Donald Trump, for instance.
In the case of my daughter, she helped her mom after her mom learned a few basic things but it was a little strained until she did. Right now, my daughter is almost kidded on the net because all she does with her FaceBook page is photos of stuff she cooked. Not really, but there are a lot of dinners and recipes.
In defense of my wife, she turned out pretty competent, so like I say, I blame a mother that doesn't teach a girl child the facts of life in the kitchen. I mean, even if I could, I wouldn't want to eat every meal in a restaurant. I do understand a lack of enthusiasm, can't help that. But, isn't it like washing clothes? Not everybody has laundry service.
Besides, with prepared, canned and frozen foods available, it's not difficult to serve half way decent meals. I live alone and couldn't begin to eat every meal from scratch. Truthfully, cooks these days have got it made.
Good hunting. El Bee
edit: last woman I saw wearing a dress and cowboy boots was four or five years ago, in west Texas. I'm still waiting to see the first female in a Stormy Kormer.

Yup you nailed it Leonard. Wife's mom dumped her dad about 40 years ago. Went on to two other failed marriages. Mom felt guilty & babied the daughters.
Good girls, one is mine, just no kitchen skills.
I see women every once in awhile with Kromers, functional dress for a ranch wife.
Something about a woman & a Kromer driving a flat bed with a gooseneck stock trailer. Kinda gets a guy fired up !!

Yeah Dave. That's the way I feel when I see a woman in a hunting or shooting situation. It actually turns me on. My failure, I never pushed my wife or daughter. If they didn't want to, that's all I had to hear....just as long as she didn't keep me from what I liked to do. The only complaint I heard was that I might be away, and she didn't like to be alone. Also understandable, so I tried to make up for it in other ways. Jewelry seemed to work. lol

So, I think you are bragging on Ash Fork as a great little Hick Town? I can guarantee you that I have wandered into that place before you ever heard of it? Late 60's, when it was still just one leg along route 66, and long before the freeway came to town.

Good grief! You guys live a sheltered life.
You'd absolutely like me. Usually basball caps, camo cloths, boots and so forth. Yeah and I can cook!

Oddly ? my wife's mom is a hell of a cook. In my opinion, I don't ask much not real picky as long as most veggies ain't involved. Yuck !!
She's retired late 60's. Wife has talked about moving her in. Well, I'm unsure about that right now, cookin' would be good though.
I have a cow that keeps getting out, better go check. Made more fence improvements today. He's sounding better & better all the time, on the dinner table of course.

How come you never mentioned your wife's mom before? You could set me up when I'm in town. Umm? Unless it's Alaska.
Good hunting, and Happy New Years!
