YUM! Excellent photos, Mike!

Looks like a great meal! I'll bet the rice was excellent! I'd love to taste those muffins! LOL!

 

[JW53]

Sweet, want some of that blueberry cobbler!!!

Your food pics are simply the best, although Dossy is pretty good. You help my recently bad appetite. They say cancer patients sometimes need to smoke to eat when they could just look at your food pics

I'll bet the rice was excellent! I'd love to taste those muffins!

The rice is Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice. I sometimes add dried cherries a few minutes before the rice is cooked as in that photo, sometimes sauteed mushrooms, sometimes both.

The muffins are one of the most distinctive, new dishes I've had in a long time. The recipe is at https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/mini-deviled-crab-cornbread-muffins

You better come over soon because it won't be long before it's all gone.

Such a nice compliment! Any time you're having trouble eating maybe viewing my food photo gallery will help: https://mikebuckley.zenfolio.com/p69984307

And get well soon!

Certainly non-traditional Thanksgiving fare, but looks delicious. Excellent photographs.

 

[Mike Buckley]

Thanks, Jim!

Certainly non-traditional Thanksgiving fare

It has probably been decades since I prepared a traditional Thanksgiving menu. On the other hand, any time fowl of any kind is served as the main or only meat, that's pretty traditional even if it's not a turkey. I got a big laugh every time I read about people buying small turkeys or just turkey breasts for the smaller gatherings at Thanksgiving this year. That's because I knew that even though there would only be two at our table, there would be plenty of white and dark meat because I cooked an entire guinea fowl, which is about the same size as a roasting chicken.

They all look very delicious Mike. My fav is the last one photographically.

 

[Mike Buckley]

Thank you to Glenn and Binnur!

My fav is the last one photographically.

I actually haven't thought about which photograph I prefer but, considering that I have a sweet tooth, the blueberry cobbler is my favorite dish. I look forward to the last serving after tonight's supper.

So, no blueberry cobblers left to send them over the Atlantic Ocean?

Sorry, Klaus. You'll have to figure out on your own how to get a blueberry cobbler. Maybe one of those wonderful bakeries near you will help out.

I shouldn't have clicked on this one. Now I'm hungry. Luckily we still have a fridge full of leftovers too. Nicely captured.

 

[Mike Buckley]

Thanks, Dan!

Luckily we still have a fridge full of leftovers too.

Considering all the wonderful tabletop photos I've seen coming from you, I'm gonna take the position that if there are no photos, there are no leftovers.

 

[jbailey930]

those pictures are bursting with flavor!

 

[dossy]

Stunning images, Mike! The only thing that would make them better would be scratch and sniff

...or, Mike, do have a receipt? I know how to bake.

Kind regards
