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 looks amazing! Belated Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

I cook mine breast side down using the recipe below and cook the stuffing in a glass baking dish. Try this once and you will never, ever make a turkey breast side up again. Roasting it this way allows the juices from the dark meat to drip through the bird and into the breast meat, requiring absolutely no basting whatsoever. The tenderest, juiciest bird you've ever tasted.

When do we realize that we're the animals in a zoo, and they simply toss out the food at the right time to get us to do our tricks?

A mutual FB friend of some of us posted this on her FB wall. It made perfect sense to me. Think about it. Whether you believe in and give thanks to God, or not, Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time of giving thanks and reflecting on all of our blessings (although, you know, it's become more about the FOOD, but whatever, just sayin'). So, then - we're done with that, and run out to get more stuff and it's becoming this selfish, free for all, brawling, pepper spraying, give me that, I want it and gotta' have it, I'll knock you down and hit you in the face if you get it first frenzy. What the fuck is wrong with us?!? Well, not us - but many people. Seriously?

I saw something similar on FB the other day too, it's a great point.

Well, we bought a whole load of cool stuff so far online - just doing our bit for capitalism and the economy while you commies #occupythisthread.

Classic Thanksgiving quotes that originated right here:

"cooking stuff isn't THAT hard!!!"

"Way too many people at the crib to day... fuck I need lots a beers!!"


Happy Thanksgiving, all!
