Did it yesterday, full on floribbean....all made the day before and kept in foil pans aside from the birds.
Two breasts roasted on the grill with a full pound of extra spicey ms dash compound butter. Cornbread stuffing with habs and cilantro. Green bean casserole with fresh beans, homemade cream of mushroom with homegrown shiitake and a half gallon of half and half (another box of butter)..panko fried onion topper. Ten pounds of yukon gold mash - baked (more butter) until it crisped across the top in the knots my daughters drew. The boys got crawdads for appetizers from the creek at the bottom of our hollar - served in bacon grease and butter leftover from making the stuffing. Sweet potato and pumpkin pies with fresh whipped cream, a few chocolate cakes, enough grvy to drown a full grown man.....handles of cap, jack, and makers, and a half ounce of dro.
The Wife, our kids, my mother and my brother - and my childhood best buddy. It was fuckin great - and there's nothing to clean up today. I'm gonna try to catch a musky tomorrow while all the suckers are stuck at home. Or maybe I'll just go out on the boat, get high, and pretend that I tried to catch fish. 50/50.
(they never believe me when come home empty handed, born and raised poacher that I am - but I don't care.... lying to their face is part of the fun...I suspect they all agree)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
