Turkey - ham's for Christmas and Easter.

But if it were up to me, I'd do steak and lobster tail on the grill.

[jillian]

and brisket…

and meatloaf for the kids (and me, b/c i like meatloaf).

I prefer ham. I could never eat turkey again and never miss it.

My parent's make a turkey for everybody but I obviously don't eat it. I tend to mostly just eat a salad, yams with marshmallows, green bean casserole, and some stuffing on thanksgiving. Usually by the time I am finished with the green beans i'm pretty full anyway. Dessert isn't bad though.

The entire point of thanksgiving is stuffing with gravy. And that just doesn't work with ham.

[Mister D]

Turkey of course. I've been eating turkey for the last 8 days. Love the stuff.

Something about moist turkey turns my stomach. It's just supposed to be dry.

damn, son, you're such a southerner. lol.

i've never had fried turkey (kind of defeats the purpose of not eating red meat, generally) but my arm could be twisted.

[Mister D]

wet poultry is gross.

Exactly!

[Mister D]

You want moist you have the gravy.

Edit: or the hotsauce...

mom injects the bird with butter, hot sauce, and cajun spices, then she shoves cajun spices under the skin and sets it in the deep fryer. Ohhhh, damn! And I'm not going home this year. :(

Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh

We have a turkey fryer. Fried turkey isn't bad but a lot of trouble for what it's worth.

You have to use like 7 gallons of oil to fry a turkey - and what do you do with all that oil once you're done with it? Really can't reuse it. We did a fried turkey one year and I dumped the oil over the hillside. My wife told me that the next morning there were about a half dozen racoons out there rolling around in it with leaves stuck all over them.

I have filtered the oil and reused it before. Some buds and I deep fried turkey on the beach in Panama City. We made like 3 turkeys over the course of a week.

That's a beef crown roast, but rack of lamb.... GREAT!

[zelmo1234]

If you want to spice it up a bit, add some pimento's and use Cream of celery father than Cream of mushroom!

[zelmo1234]

Isn't that cannibalism?

[Cigar]

Should I ask what are those? :huh:

[Mister D]

Should I ask what are those? :huh:

Some chocolately, nutty concoction flavored with whiskey.

[Ravi]

Should I ask what are those? :huh:If D likes them, it's bound to be gay.

[junie]

lol it's just like a rum cookie or rum ball but you use bourbon instead and you just shape the cookies into little balls.

you can use crushed chocolate wafers if you prefer, or graham crackers, whatever, but i'm using vanilla wafers and bourbon.

comes in handy for the lushes later on, eh? how many drinks have you HAD?


uh just one dear! hic* and um 16 bourbon balls..hee hee :angel:
