An Agglomeration of Food Photos

After a week in Houston with my family, there were just too many delicious dishes to post recipes for each one.  So, here's a few photos of the gourmet meals we enjoyed...

smoking the turkey...yeah, it says ideal. if only this picture was scratch-and-sniff.

dad, carving the bird.  he has a secret recipe for cajun-smokin' a turkey. mm-mmm good!

the wine that accompanied the meal...yeah, is says '96!

aged to perfection...notice the crumbled cork...tasted like silk!

less was definitely more this year!  we decided to just do a few delectable dishes, instead of all the "fillers."

menu: cajun-smoked bird and pig, dressing (not stuffing)*, not your mama's mac and cheese (maybe sarah will be nice enough to post the recipe on her blog later), and cranberries (don't forget the wine!)...oh yeah, and giblet gravy for the men who like that nasty stuff!

*secret family recipe!! don't even bother asking for that recipe! :)

breakfast of champions=coffee and irish cream

day after christmas meal...no leftovers for us! try ribs and pork chops!

not just any ribs...dad's special "can't keep 'em on the bones" ribs!

the 27th made sarah 25! happy birthday, sis!

a cookie cake and a steak dinner?

happy, happy birthday, sarah!

I know I missed a lot of delicious meals (and wines) that we devoured!  But, you get the idea!
