TURKEY!

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and Christmas is on its tail.  Are you all ready?  This is my favorite time of year, although sometimes it can be the worst time for some.

There is only one thing I dislike about it.  Fake people.  They will all become really nice and this or that.  You know, if you cant be like that all year long, then why bother?  GIVE GIVE GIVE is what they do around the holidays.  As soon as Christmas is over with it is like they turn back into the old scrooge again.  My wish for this Christmas and Holiday season is for those who are like that, too look at themselves and remember how happy it makes them and to those they affect. 

I understand thats the way it is sometimes.  This time of year makes us do those things, but can we not try harder this time to make it last beyond the holidays?  What do you say folks?  Gonna give a  try this time?

HAM IS FOR CHRISTMAS! You goose! LOL

I may sound a big ham, but I'm certainly no chicken when it comes to turkey - no beef about it, I like turkey at Christmas.

hey timmy:  yep... i'm ready 4 the traditional thanksgiving turkey & ham.

"drunk turkey"  share that receipe please.  I'm one of the odd balls that really doesn't like turkey, not because of it's taste, but because it has no taste, texture or interest.  I like the trimmings, duck and andouille gumbo, oyster dressing, mirlliton cassarole, the usual, but turkey, it's just so bland, etc.  I'll try a "drunk" bird, and try to keep sober while cooking it if it sounds good.

my step brother has a keg that is cut about two inces from the bottom. the coals go in the bottom and the bird stands up inside. all i do is inject it the night before and shove a 16 oz can of beer up his butt. (take a couple sips first) cook it at about 250 degrees four around four hours ( for a 14 pound bird) and then it is done. super moist and very tasty. damn i am hungry now.

I'm with you on the BAH HUMBUG, Pauly, as I was last year.  I would love the holidays if it was a relaxing time, but my wife and I have large families and we end up hosting one or both holidays. It turns into a lot of work and I'm always glad when it's over.
