I accidentally made a rice version of grits. It is amazingly good.

How do you do it? I've mixed rice and grits for years.

I was making congee. Something my mother made once in a while, and which I've also had in places like Hong Kong and Singapore. It was my first attempt. Basically started with rice in a pot and cooked it with lots of water. And I kept adding warm water as it evaporated. Kept doing this for an hour, with lots of stirring. So that's congee (aka water rice) and I was satisfied with the result.
But then my son tried it and complained it was too bland. So I told him to add some butter and more water and to boil it until it reached the consistency he wanted. Which he did. Well the version with butter is pretty fantastic. It is more like grits or polenta. Or even rice pudding.

Sounds similar to okayu, a Japanese dish. I'll eat it on a really cold day but I prefer oatmeal if I go that route.

Use some chicken broth and/or cream for my grits.
If I don’t have that I use a spoon ful of bacon grease to the water

I'm down with the bacon grease.
Bacon is the thing I miss the most when I have to spend time in a country that doesn't sell pork products. Turkey bacon is a very weak substitute.

I'll drop some **** here.
This quarantine I've done some culinary exploration. This one was me toying around with Sodium Citrate to make very fancy Cheez Wiz. The was made with 3 year aged cheddar.

I've also used this time to screw around with Sous Vide fried chicken. This was a pretty successful one. Then I threw them into a cast iron and made a spicy maple syrup that I covered it with. it was so good.

Lastly, a throwback to my semi-yearly tradition, of making Thanksgiving Ramen with leftover turkey, and turkey stock. Sometimes I incorporate other things. This year I want to make something cranberry sause related. Maybe reduce it heavily for a drizzle.

Ramen with leftover turkey. I like that idea.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
My wife and I will be executing Thanksgiving for most of her family as her mom really doesn’t cook... at all.
It’s a tall task in someone else’s kitchen.
If anyone has a Kamado style grill, they make an excellent turkey cooker and it saves oven space.

we have a smaller gathering this year and are gonna try something different...instead of a whole turkey just a turkey breast cooked in a insta pot
one of the accompanying dishes is collard greens...my way of doing it is stir fry with diced pancetta (first cousin to my friend bacon!), but i'm open to suggestions
