unclevlad Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 That's why the prices start dropping so much. if all you focus on is Turkey Day, then, no, there's no chance you could *safely* get a 20 pound bird thawed in time. But some people do look past that...and figure, hey, if you can clear 1/3 of the total weight as meat, you're getting it for $1.50 a pound. It's somewhat tempting...even if the plan's just to thaw, then remove the breast pieces, and use most of the rest for turkey stock. One of the major commercial turkey processors puts out marinated turkey breasts; they're a decent choice. Could do the same here. Or stuff a chunk with mushrooms, onions, and bacon. Roast chunks in advance, shred; now you've got enchilada or burrito filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 If we ever meet, just so you know it's not a crock of crap, you will have to ask my wife about the night I accidentally flash-fried an eighteen pound frozen turkey to absolute perfecti9n in about thirty seconds, completely on accident,.....

Duke Bushido Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 There was no kitchen. It was kitchen-adjacent, and cost us yhe foliage on one side of a pear tree, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yeah, but what I'm really looking forward to is the remote RPG session on Saturday, even if it's a system I am not enthusiastic about.

Cancer Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 It might be that I haven't played any Hero system games since Bobcon 2 a number of years ago. I may have to change that once I have time to think about such things (which means post-retirement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if your team is an embarrassment on national TV. 6 hours ago, dmjalund said: in;t Thanksgiving technically an Autumn holiday? Grade school history portrayed it as a feast that the Indian tribes shared with the Pilgrims. Big mistake. Technically, it's still fall, but it's really too late to be a harvest festival in most places. It's well past first frost outside the Deep South and Southwest.,,and WELL past it for New England. If you go by the 1/4 of the year with the fewest hours of daylight...therefore, winter solstice is the midpoint (or, gee..Midwinter Day) rather than the start of winter, then winter starts basically at Halloween...the cross-quarter day. (Notice that the cross-quarter days are February 3rd, May 1, August 1, and October 31...beginning or end of months. Whereas the equinoxes and solstices are all in the middle. One almost suspects that the classical calendars considered the cross-quarter days to be the important ones.) So personally, I think of Thaksgiving as an early winter holiday.
