My brother in law and I have tossed around inscriptions for our tombstones. We settled on "I chose heart disease".
No signs of it so far.

I'm gonna eat tofu. Wif some hippies!
Had my tombstone picked out a long time ago. It says, "You're next!"

Re: Thanksgiving Warning
You gotta love fried turkey. You also gotta love the cajuns style. I have fried lots of them but it's cleaning up the mess that makes the roaster seem like the way to go this year. Of course ytou have to clean that also. Its all about the dressing anyway!
I've got blisters on my fingers!

God invented Evolution fer a reason. He invented Evolution 'cuz he likes to have plenty o' furry little critters... low in the food chain... underfoot... in Heaven.
He invented turkey friers to call His hillbillies home.
Givin' His hillbillies a "heads up!" foils the plot. Hillbillies who have learned to duck are the next tier up in the food chain. Next thing ya know all the hillbillies will know how to duck. Then we're in for it...

Tobacco, hootch and fried Okra... now we're talkin'....
I moved to TX 10 years ago from Georgia and NC...... and I have had a hard time thinking of beef brisket as "barbecue"...
I grew up on pork barbecue in mustard or vinegar based sauces... this beef is great, but it ain't pulled pork butt, no Sir!

Re: Thanksgiving Warning
In all honesty the Palin clip don't bother me.
This time of year (or better yet right at Halloween) is when we usually slaughter a hog. If I had my druthers I'd druther slaughter a hog than a turkey. Wif a turkey ya got all that nasty pluckin' then ya gotta singe the pinfeathers under the wings, nasty. It's not like hogs are any easier, we scald and scrape ours. Yeah it's a lotta work but it's a lotta meat. Like butcherin' a whale, we grow ours big. Piss off a hippy, eat a whale! Not that different from a whale in some ways. Ours usually has a good sheath of lard, we render the lard to use in pie crusts. Pack the layer of fat under the skin in kosher salt for salt pork. There's a religious slur in there somewhere, pork fat packed in kosher salt. Fat with a little meat in it gets tossed into the cure for bacon. Hams get boned and get tossed into another crock full of cure, they stay hams after a little work.
Our little smoker looks like a real Appalachian privvy. There's a hole in the stone floor that connects to a piece of well casing that runs about 20' down the hillside to the firebox. The trick with a smoker is to have your feedstock (we use apple wood) smolder but not flare up. You want it to smoke, cooking comes later. The long tube assures that even if an untended fire flares up... the meat will stay cool.
It ain't fer nuthin' the Foundin' Fathers were gonna pick a turkey rather than an eagle as the national bird. Eagles are harder to catch and not all that tasty when you do get one. Turkeys are a noble bird in a unique way, there's a reason they travel in flocks. They have a unique defense against predators. L-tryptophan! The way it works is a coyote for instance catches and kills the oldest slowest member of the flock. Coyote eats old turkey then falls asleep while the rest of the flock turkey-walks to safety.
Ever see a spooked wild turkey? Ever spook yerself drinkin' Wild Turkey?! They take off at a very brisk trot, maybe 30 yards out you can see the little light bulb light up over ol' Tom's head, "A-Duh! I can fly!" A flyin' turkey is like a dancin' bear, a turkey is about as suited to flyin' as a bear is to dancin'. They're not very graceful in the air, more like a projectile.
This time o' year last year I spotted a flock of over 60 wild turkeys while I wuz out fer a ride. Tough to count, they keep tradin' places when ya try to count 'em. This year I'm seein 24-30 at a time.

Re: Thanksgiving Warning
I live in South Carolina...and to me brisket is king!
Only problem is...it's hard to do a small one. It's got to be big.
Smoking it for a dozen hours is nothing. My last one was 16 hours.
And it gets tired after a couple of pounds. Good...no great, but we just can't eat that much! Good thing for the dog...
Nothing fancy, I have a New Breunfels grille that I set up as a smoker. A flare up is protected by an ash pan...which I hang above the wood. Apple...yup. Red Tip is good, too.
Fried okra?
Ug.
We have an "Okra Strut" as our town festival, and I don't eat the stuff.

Re: Thanksgiving Warning
Kinda reminds me of the time a friend gave me some doves he had shot. He showed me how to pull the breast out in one piece. I asked, "How do you do the rest of it?" He said, "You throw the rest of it away."CaseyJones wrote: ... Yeah it's a lotta work but it's a lotta meat...
Well, I ate the dove, and it was OK, but– DAMN
