After a night of setting up for Thanksgiving w/ the family, I bought myself a bottle of spiced rum (and eggs...I needed eggs). A double rum n' coke was fine. Then another. Then an extra strong screwdriver. Now I'm settling in with a nice amaretto sour.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all y'all. Canadians...ditto, belated about 7 weeks.
ThanksGiving

There's a place in hell for people like you.
Granted, it's a pretty awesome part...just enough heat to be tropical in the winter and great bartenders.

Happy T day you bastards...
We're roasting a shoulder of lamb, and had all the side dishes delivered by Fresh Direct

We love lamb too, it's the best. This is the first Thanksgiving it'll just be the wife and I alone. We could have gone down to Miami to see family, but I really don't want to travel. Also driving to S. Fla in holiday traffic could be lethal I'd imagine. Actually I think she'd down at her Moms doing finishing work on the wall right now (after I asked her to just hang out here for a change, finally just relax), the girl can't sit still.
This is also the first year we aren't baking our own pie and the one we bought at the store blows. Guess it'll be the last year we do that.

We are just now getting ready to sit down to eat. haha, been cooking, hanging out and talking etc. Also ended up making an apple pie since the store bought one sucked so much. It may not even be Thanksgiving anymore by the time we eat! 
Edit: OK here we go!
The fried chicken rocked the house. If anybody is going to do this anytime soon, use that recipe I posted above, it's awesome. The chicken was so juicy from using that brine. For laughs we had it on the good china with loaded mash, broccoli, and panko onion rings. I had cranberry too, but that was off on the side.

That fried chicken recipe looks awesome. I'll need to give that a spin.
How does everyone here do their turkeys? I ordered ours for Christmas last week. Considering slow-cooking it over 10 hours or so.

I flippin roast the turkey every year. Don't do anything special to it, because I don't really cook. In the past, I'll stuff it and put it in an oven bag. It usually turns out pretty good. However, this year, someone told me that they put an apple in the cavity and it supposedly turns out so moist. So I did. Nah. Pretty dry. (although I admit, I panicked at the last minute because I wasn't sure whether it was a whole apple or peeled, so I put both and stuffed some onions in too). I need to figure out something different.
I heard from someone else today that their in-laws slow cook their turkey in the oven overnight - don't know what degree or how they prepare it first.
Deep fried turkey is always really good, though.
