whatever be in the city by yourself fine and um I think my girlfriend Eva is gonna come over with her two boys oh that's nice and uh my father-in-law and my mother-in-law oh good so that's a good yeah so it it'll be it'll be like 10 of us our Birds arrived okay I know it was a little bit sad she she came all dressed up and I was like oh I watched you on video if you watch Hank and my show we get Farm rais birds so we're able to watch the birds interact to the holidays I'm I'm kind of like you I I think my meat just ends up in the grocery store I don't want to think about it T So yeah so yeah hi rtb good morning Ellen hi to my Florida fam so we're here at knockabout as we are every single Sunday Funday but this Sunday Funday we are remixing some dishes I figured that we'd talk to you and open it up to some of your home chefs okay and you have a contest going on right now I do so if you join kit cot in dining at home or anywhere else you can be part of the contest and what we're doing is we're giving out a $50 gift certificate to knock about or if you live in another state we'll do something closer to where you are but it's going to be the best dishes with um repurpose which I love that yeah yeah with repurpose food from your Thanksgiving table and the contest will go from till the Tuesday after Thanksgiving so that'll give everybody time to prepare it take a picture of it post it on the site maybe you'll be inspired by what is currently in your fridge post Thursday we don't really know what's going to be happen we don't so you can kind of do anything you want but um so I did get a couple of ideas because the community is great you've got great and they're really interactive and funs they're making friends so Lynn who's on here highin um we went to high school together but she lives in Maryland that's awesome so and she's really been a big part of the group and she's met friends so it's it's fun to do that but um let me get my cheat notes because I know well there's a lot of people on the group and they're interacting with fun different things to yeah so so Ronnie killo I hope I pronounced your name right came up with a stuffing based eggs benedict which sounds really yeah that sounds really good I don't know why I've never thought of that I know that sounds really interesting um and then Terry derky came up with sheph pie with turkey and gravy yeah because there's always a a bucket of mashed potatoes left over for sure yeah and um let's see what else we have we have um one of my favorites and she's right it's very indulgent dish is turkey tetrazini yeah so but she puts broccoli in it so it makes it a little healthier slot broccoli and everybody's healthy right right right so and then um Mary Betts put up um a chicken C on blue as well so or turkey CAU on Blue in this case so yeah so some good dishes and more to come so I feel like I don't know whether it's the Irish in my family that boils and mashes everything because it's just like palatable but I feel like I'm left with 14 different sides of mashed something yeah so I've got to figure out a better way maybe if we did a a turkey cake like a crab cake or something like that that's a good idea you know something a little bit different or croad or whatever it is right that's used to do at the willow tree yes oh that's Willow Tree willow tree but I um I actually saw a ticktock tip that I'm GNA try so you take your potatoes wash them and you boil them whole okay till they're done and then you take like a a rack and you put it over your bowl and you just slide your potatoes and you don't have to peel them and it just goes down into the bowl and you have the skin left on the rrap oh that's kind of cool so you don't have to peel before you boil them or anything so I haven't tried it but it looked easy so you want to save your knuckles we might try this Tick Tock tip I'm down for it good morning Dave hagner what's up Alison Connie thanks for joining us and uh if you've got something great that you want to add to the list the contest is still going on K Cod dining at home and anywhere else I figured you and I would throw it to the professionals okay I think that's a good idea um so I got a chance this week to catch up I know they're so busy in their own kitchens Jenny wheeler from the Cap Cod collaborative at the family C and they are about to have a huge Thanksgiving over there so if you're looking for fellowship if you're lonely um if you need food if you've got some food insecurity anything no questions asked you can always pop on over there and have a meal at a real table she does cloth tablecloths and makes you feel like you're dining out even though it's her kitchen she really does an amazing job over there amazing her team of volunteers are like no other I also had a chance before their big huge um I guess it's a market that they have at um upper Cape Tech thousands of people are there all weekend long but I got in before Chef joelia was busy with all of their people over at upper Cape Tech and their culinary Department feeding everyone uh to talk to them about maybe repurposing some dishes so we're going to throw it to our professional chefs before we come back to you at knockabout so get your pens and uh paper ready maybe you want to jot down something interesting with their dishes and you can post it on Cap Cod dining at home yeah yeah for sure so here we go we'll go we'll go to the Prof I'm so sorry I can't be with you today but we are over at my kitchen getting ready to do Thanksgiving we're expecting 1,200 meals going out the

with every beer cuz what goes better with Thanksgiving than beer so these are some of our most outstanding volunteers they are how we do what we do and welcome I like to say welcome to my crazy and this is the week that it set definitely becomes that thank you Stephanie for ask asking us to show up and give you a recipe so you know me nutrition comes first even at Thanksgiving so we have all these amazing different colored carrots right now that are being cut up but the recipe I'm going to talk to you about is one that my nephews my twin nephews love love love and they nicknamed it when they were little spicy squash and what it is is it's a comb combination of butternut squash and sweet potatoes so it's a beautiful orange color fits into that eat the rainbow vibe that I usually go for but you add in some really tasty treats into it so you get like a stick of butter not necessarily the healthiest but totally delicious you caramelize some onions you add in a little bit of I use real maple syrup because you know we're New England why would you buy anything other than real maple syrup and then you put it in and then you mix in an even amount of butternut squash and sweet potatoes you get the caramelized onion beautiful salt and pepper a little bit of cayenne is what adds that spicy sweet beautiful you can to your taste right it doesn't have to be super sweet but it's a fun little upgrade on a Thanksgiving dish it's also something that you can make afterwards if you made butternut squash and you made sweet potatoes it you can make it almost into a little bit of a pie if you want add a beautiful sweet potato pie flavor to it if you wanted to do that but easy to make it tastes way fancier than the time it makes to take that takes to make it and just one of the many dishes I would tell you you should look at your counter on Thanksgiving and think oh my goodness I have all of these colors so multiple colored carrots is an easy way to do that look at all of those beautiful carrots and anyway you have the carrots you can do peas all the vegetables right you can bring out all the vegetables for Thanksgiving more than anything else I hope every single one of you has an amazing holiday thank you for visiting us at The Family Table collaborative I can't wait to see you all soon so I'm sure joelia here up Cape Tech culinary arts department quick way to

medium siiz cubes it's a great way to use up all those leftovers in the holiday mornings then use them at the Holiday nights place your bread in one bowl and then a Ser Bowl you want to crack four eggs there's no shells then you want to use heavy whipping cream you're going to add about two cups into there measure at home I'm just going to eyeball it little bit of white sugar about tablespoon of vanilla extract going to whisk that together that's going to make your custard base you're going to take that pour right over your bread then I like to use a gloved hand get in there mix that together going place that into a baking vessel backing it down my liquid on top back to the side and then a separate vessel it's a little bit larger you want put water on the bottom to make a water bath that there okay you going to Loosely wrap the top of this oil you have enough tck around do that c it and place that right on the water bath 350 in the oven set it for about 30 to 40 minutes we
