Maybe the dogs ate it.  It was a good holiday though, so I am inclined to go ahead and recap the day a week late.  As is usually the case, we joined forces with our friends the James&#8217; clan for the festivities.  And quite the clan it is.  I think the final count was around 25 people.  The one downside was that the weather didn&#8217;t cooperate quite like it has in recent years.  With a crowd that size it&#8217;s nice to have some outdoor seating options, but this year was just too chilly, not to mention wet.  Eh, there was plenty of room inside.  For a mob this size we went with two turkeys;  One smoked, and one deep fried.  We didn&#8217;t smoke the bird, we picked it up from Schwingles Meat already cooked.  We&#8217;ve ordered from them several times and it&#8217;s just as good (OK likely better) than anything I could smoke up, and certainly easier.  We threw in a ham for good measure too.  Yeah we went a bit overboard on the meat, but it&#8217;s nice to have options.  It was a fantastic meal, honestly the best I can remember.  (Granted, my memory doesn&#8217;t go back too far.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4201#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ham-and-beans-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4201\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4201#main\" class=\"wp-image-4201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ham-and-beans-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ham-and-beans-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ham-and-beans-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ham-and-beans.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ham &amp;
