hugeinjapan: Dinner Tonight: Thanksgiving Throwback Bacon-wrapped haricot vert Cornbread dressing Coca-Cola ham Fresh yeast rolls This year I spent Thanksgiving with friends in Joliet. It was a good time (There was a dice game! And drinking for two hours in a bar that lost power!), but I missed some of my family’s staples. I’m a huge proponent of the deep fried turkey, but I don’t quite have the means to accomplish it in my hovel. A Coca-Cola ham is a) intensely southern and b) a very good substitute. Cornbread dressing is mandatory. My grandmother made the best I’ve ever had. She also refused to share the full recipe with us, so this is a pale approximation, though tasty. It’s funny how food makes memories. I didn’t get to see my family this year, but they had dinner with me tonight all the same.
