Weekend recap, here we go. My company gave each employee a 11-16lb turkey. Since we're going to be out of town I decided to see if Dorsa and Erik needed an extra turkey since they were hosting this year. Dorsa said yes, so Saturday Saturday we stopped by their new house (!!!) in our neighborhood.
They're on the super pretty street. The house is such an amazing forever home. They'll have all the space they need for their 100 children. It's also perfectly updated already but I can tell Dorsa will have fun putting her own touch on little parts of the house. The yard is incredible -- definitely will be crashing bbqs there.
The rest of saturday was shopping for winter-y things for tonight's MNF tailgate and Atlanta for Thanksgiving.
Sunday we put the smoker to work. We went to Whole Foods and got a couple spice rubs. They have really awesome seasonings and the pricing is reasonable.
I got a buffalo mix and sketchy got a hot habenero blend.
we let the wings marinate while the woodchips soaked for about 30 minutes. I ended up doing a set with random seasonings i had in the kitchen.

checkin on them.
2 hours later, deliciousness! smoker success.
Today we had a potluck lunch at work. I made "stuffing balls" from scratch this morning. I didn't think they were too good. Cooking at 7am is evidently not my thing lol.
let the bread dry out for a day.
caramelized red onions with green onions, celery and spices
add caramelized onions mixture, top with cilantro and add chicken stock
mix and then mold into balls
bake
voila.
Aside from my crazytown stuffing balls, the rest of the potluck was super delicious and successful.

the cutest turkey cupcakes ever. these look like they took a lot of time.
my little spoons of each thing. the "sweet potato thing" above the macaroni was my favorite. New-Katie made it. I'm surprised i liked it given my dislike of sweet things especially sweet potatoes! Glad i tried it though.
And now, finally to get to tonight's plans. After work we're heading off to the MNF Niners v. Skins game at FedEx Field. A couple years ago (2011) I took sketchy to the niners/skins game for his birthday. We had awesome third row seats and I got on TV with my jim harbaugh sign (such a hottie. crazy temper and a little childish, but nonetheless).

Happy Monday folks. On the bright side, only two more days til Thanksgiving!
