What Are You Having for Thanksgiving Dinner?
SkeLeton said:Shouldn't this be in the FAC?
Wanigas? said:Hee hee...
Oh, I thought about that. But for those who make Thanksgiving dinner, we know that it isn't a small endeavor and must be planned with the utmost attention to detail. Big plans man, big plans! Especially when the in-laws come over...

biscuit said:I'm probably not going to be able to go home this Thanksgiving so I'll be having dinner with the fiancees family. Her Dad is really excited about this because he wants me to deep fry a turkey for them. I'm willing to do this but the last time (first time by myself) I put to much oil in the deep fryer, and when I dropped the turkey in, created a big fireball that almost took out my sisters carport.
It should be an interesting time.

Wanigas? said:The STUFFED SHIRTS OF CYBURBIA strike again! Manoman, sometimes I think you moderators have no sense of humor. NONE. None at all.
kms said:While the turkey is still wrapped, put it in the empty fryer, and add water to cover it. Remove the turkey and measure the water to know how much oil you need. Knowing this doesn't mean I'm smarter than you. Someone else is smarter than both of us, at least about this subject. It is not good karma to burn down something that belongs to future in-laws.
We'll have the traditional meal, the works. We invite family only and everyone contributes something.

RichmondJake said:My youngest son is planning on shooting one of the wild turkeys that live near our property. Fine with me provides he cleans it. Anyone ever have a wild turkey? Any special way to cook it?
SlaveToTheGrind said:Have not but heard they are much better than the hormone filled store turkeys. Deep frying is a good way to do it. Just be careful, people have caused large fires with the fryers, but only because they did it wrong.
biscuit said:The best way is to inject the turkey with marinade before frying it. Very, very good.
I couldn't imagine that anyone around here would be stupid enough to start a fire with a turkey...Oh, wait, nevermind.
kms said:I wouldn't recommend using the fryer during a powerfule windstorm, either.
What flavor marinade do you use? I use a local brand wing sauce, and just found creole butter marinade at our supermarket. We tried the garlic marinade that the fryer company sells, but it is too flavorful.
RichmondJake said:I don't know....I haven't heard anything good about these deep fryers. A lot of evidence that they're dangerous. Unless of course, the womyn folk are doing the cooking.

Planderella said:Fried turkey is good and all, but have you guys ever heard of a Turducken ?
It's what the name implies - a combination of turkey, duck and chicken filled with cornbread dressing. Hmmm.....turducken......

Rem said:So it's a month away and menus are being discussed?
SlaveToTheGrind said:We look forward to Thanksgiving all year. A 4-day weeked. Football games, and eating all weekend. The day after is also the traditional first day fo Christmas shopping. Retailers have everything on sale.

RichmondJake said:I think the only things you omitted were heavy alcohol consumption and family arguements.
Rem said:
This is very dangerous territory ZG. It's one thing to take the risk of paying out on your employer and colleagues on Cyburbia - but in-laws once removed is suicidal. You should start thinking about a name change a la "H".
