I normally smoke a turkey as well. I don't do anything unusual, just a basic brine with some quartered oranges, garlic cloves, and ginger.
However, this year since we don't have any close family around us, we've been invited over the a friends Thanksgiving. Super nice gesture, but walking into a somewhat strangers menu causes reservation with me. Thanksgiving, especially the sides are very personal. I mean, will the potatoes be lumpy, will the stuffing be overloaded with onions, will people attending be super slow eaters as I like to sit down and crush while everything is piping hot. It's just such an unknown to eat Thanksgiving around people you don't have any idea on their taste preferences and eating habits. I'm nervous.
