Thanksgiving Eats!!!!

[Mexas Joe]

A bird injected with the Tony Chachere cajun butter mix, given a slight dry rub, then deep fried in peanut oil is legit a very fine meal.

But while the bird fresh from the oil is delish, I have found any leftover fried turkey to taste like asshole.

So eat all you can while it's hot then don't bother with leftovers.

We're good for about a day or so with bird leftovers.  But after that, any leftovers if any, go into a stock pot along with the bones/carcass and various spices, carrots, celery, onions and the like, and the whole thing gets cooked down into stock.  That gets strained and goes in the freezer for some good meals later on.

This is the way.

Made Texas Roadhouse honey butter rolls. Took over 4 hours last night for the yeast to get my 2nd rise. Hope they turn out good tonight.

Prolly won't get a chance tomorrow, so a slightly early Happy Thanksgiving to you all. May your turkey's be moist, your bread rise and all the desserts have non fattening calories.

I need to go back to doing Thanksgiving dinner on my own lol.

Our dinner was traditional but fine. I propose Pizza as the new Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.

Gunna brine/smoke a small 8lb bird I picked up.


Also picked up a big ass 12 lb ham that I'm going to double smoke since the smoker is hot. Bourgon glaze as well.
