We celebrate ours October 9th, just in time for the fall harvest.
Hunting has begun turkey, deer, duck ,and goose are all in full swing and this is my favorite time of year..
I've finished my work in the bee yards for the day and now its time to cook!
I've got fresh chentrelle, and pasture mushrooms, a puffball and a nice squash from the garden.

This was a great thanksgiving meal, the duck was perfect. Pulled it at 175 IT wrapped with foil, it finished well cooked perfect with lots of juice and flavor.

Stepped out of my element and did a desert, Smores in flour tortillas. Ingredients included marshmallows, peanut butter and nutella and grilled on the Traeger. Good to sweet for me.
