Thanks James, did it work for you all up there last month?

Hmmmm... That would put me at 138#

I am pretty sure that Carol would be really pissed, seeing as I weighed 190 when we got married.

Being sick is a real *itch.

Then you better eat and keep it down!

Brand new, unvaccinated, Peach Cake for dessert and snacks today! We're "dry-docked" for Thanksgiving and making the best of it!

First, I wish all of you, this small circle of friends and family, a great bounty of happiness, health, and peace. I am thankful for this group.

Since I made a turkey less than two weeks ago, I made a SeAL Supper...
Sea = Cocktail Shrimp
Air = Roasted Game Hens (1 per person)
Land = Rib Steak

Wife made pumpkin cookies with macadamia nuts & white chocolate, apple pie, homemade cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes with bacon topping, cornbread, and green beans. I also provided Coquito...

Regards,

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends here. Had dinner with my 94 year old Mom, brother, neice, and hid friends Bob and Debbie. It was a good time shared. Looking forward to chatting tomorrow.

Really nice spread Saul!
We had a total of 34 show up, I didn't get any photos of the spread, couldn't see it anyway from all the bodies in the way. I fried a turkey, brother brought pork and someone brought ham and a regular smorgasbord of side dishes and deserts. I don't want to fry a turkey again, cost of oil is too much and you have to baby site it. Roasting, set temp, timer and mingle with the crowd.

Back in the day my Dad would walk around taking pictures much to the annoyance of all in attendance but this day we all appreciated it. I setup a computer with a slide show of past thanksgivings and it was a big hit. Sadly this is the only photo I know was taken.

Sis-in-Law wanted a photo of the 5 kids in front of our house, Happy Acre....that's me saying "I am smiling damnit!"

Try what I did with mine, spatchcock it. Simply means to remove the spine and then flatten the bird, it cooks VERY quickly and remains moist. Most time-consuming part is seasoning the bird (I didn't dry brine mine). I made an herb concoction and spread it under the skin. On top of the skin, I only added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder so that the skin crisps up. 80 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit and the 17 pound bird was done!

I've seen that done Saul, looks like a good idea, taking that much bone out has to reduce cooking time.

That looks good Saul. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. All the best to everyone.

Our Turkey dinner was less grand than the one served at the homes of SOME Plastic Surgeons! I prefer dark meat.

Some plastic surgeon's specialize in breasts, from the looks of it!
