Virginia Ham (purchased direct from the smoke house). To be served on fresh rolls as is the Virginia tradition (very thin slices and butter). Depending on how th erolls turn out I might throw together a batch of biscuits.
Turkey Breast. I am on the site right now looking for cooking options. IIRC white meat is not the ideal candidate for smoking, but I am hoping there's a way.
Suggestions and links in the Turkey Breast would be appreciated.
Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. My partner in cooking crime is making those so not sure how she will do the sweet potatoes.
Green bean casserole (I just love them even if they are just a schlock kind of recipe. And I find they do best with the basic recipe (yes, with canned beans) - trying to make them better seems to fail.
Gravy. I will try to capture some drippings from the smoker and hopefully not burn them.
Pie and Ice cream. If I can find store-bough cherry pie I will get one of those, though we will definitely will have sweet potato or pumpkin too.
I am not originally from Virginia, but I do love the real Virginia hams. I was at a work site withing the County of Smithfield where they are legally permitted to call them Smithfield Hams (even if not with the company of the same name). However the local suggested I pick up my ham in a more conveninet location on my drive home, so techically it isn't a Smithfield Ham)
