Fish Sauce.

Love the flavor that it brings to dishes, even to uncooked sauces, but holy crap the smell.

unsmoked tobacco, smells amazing

Agree completely on this. Pipe tobacco in particular always smells great (but can’t stand the smell of smoke).

Dark brown sugar should only change the flavor a bit, since it just has more molasses added to the sugar (but I guess it could change the texture a bit in a small batch).

The recipe probably assumes a regular oven, not a a fan (convection) oven. I’m not sure about yours, but our convection oven has instructions for lowering the temperature from what the recipe calls for (25 degrees lower F, so about 4 degrees 14 degrees C) if using the fan.

Also, if you don’t already have one, you might want to get an oven thermometer. I’ve seen a lot of ovens that don’t actually cook at the temperature they are set to on the knob, so having a thermometer in the oven that you can check and make adjustments until the oven temperature is where you need it to be can help a lot.

do be like a stink bug sometimes

Seems to be certain times of the year here (US South). Sometimes we go months without a bunch that smells like them, and other times it’s every bunch for a month (and we almost always have a bunch in the fridge).

For breakfast I sauteed leftover turkey and some onions, scrambled eggs into the pan, and then topped with some Swiss cheese.

After having a large leftover plate for lunch yesterday, I added some of the turkey to a packet of chicken ramen for dinner last night.

This style might help as well, since there are two or three points of reference:

We have the set with 1, 2, and 4 cup versions, and really like them.

We’re having Turkey-Day with family, so we’re just bringing some sides and pies.

Pecan pie is in the oven, chocolate pie is cooling on the counter.

Stuffing (cornbread and rolls) is in the fridge, bathing in aromatics, spices, and herbs (will get final seasoning and broth tomorrow before baking).

Sweet potato casserole is mixed and in the fridge (ready for topping before going in the oven). Broccoli rice casserole is also in the fridge, all mixed and ready to go in the oven.

Tomorrow we’ll make squash casserole, and a corn casserole.
