Those are so cute
Weather here is frightful so I opted to stay home with the puppers - dinner is served when I get the fresh banana cream pie and fresh coconut cream pie out of the fridge and fall face first into them, no, I meant take out a plate and fork, cut a slice (to leave for breakfast)
Recreational eating weekend! Eating snacks all day and maybe one big mid-day meal.
I have to serve it earlier than usual because my kids invited my ex to come and he wants to go drinking with āfriendsā at 4pm. Wanna guess why our relationship ended? The kids are too young to understand what āfriendsā means, and he just moved out last month so Iām allowing it just this onceā¦.and I have a spot in the basement where I can scream and nobody can hear me.
Just 4 of us. None want to cook. Weāre headed to Bob Evans. Not my choice , but itāll do.
So if I come to your house, you wonāt be there?
My turkey is still on the grill, but, in theory should be done in the next 20 minutes. Ah theory vs practice!
Same as usual
Grill? Like⦠BBQ grill?
Yes. I have a four burner unit, so light the two fires on the right, with smoking wood over them and put the bird (slathered with a mix of favorite Bbq Sauces) on the far left, turning in ever half hour until done with the temperature inside around 325F. Approx 29 minutes before done I turn the burner directly underneath to make sure the bottom is cooked.
One year I guess I over-smoked it and the result was that the whole bird tasted like bacon. Have yet to duplicate thatā¦
Latest update:
The turkey has landed!
Something, by the way, that might have been said at the first Moon landing if Benjamin Franklin had his way when the national bird was chosenā¦
2ish - now itās time for a nap
I was on board until you mentioned gas. Life is good, though. Iām maintaining my space between the sky and the earth.
Iām on a cruise. Iām eating when I want. After 8pm.
Dinner or meal?
Does anyone do just breakfast instead?
Sure. I had a home-made bagel - topped with Cajun seasoning - with cream cheese and lox (smoked wild sockeye salmon) for breakfast this morning⦠but instead? I was pretty hungry by 3ish when the Turkey was ready.
We tried for noon and ate around 12:30. Got a toddler who needs an early afternoon nap or heās a mess.
1 pm. That gives everyone time for the turkey tryptophan coma to wear off and go back for round two of dinner and/or dessert
