All the trimmins; dressing, sweet potato pie, corn, green bean cassorole, sweet potato pie, triffle, punch, sweet potato pie, wine ($2 Chuck???), ambrosia, merlot, sweet potato pie and probably some stuff to nibble on if hunger persists.
For the BBQ Turkey (18 - 22#), been thinking of doing it this way... http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/144/Smoked-Beer-Can-Turkey or http://tinyurl.com/2leup9
The Smoked Turkey will be smaller, around 10 - 12#, smoked in a water smoker (no, not a bong) using a smoking sauce of corn oil margarine, sherry, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic parsley, salt and water.
The Baked Turkey (18 - 22#) will be the "Two Hour Turkey", a first for me. Look at http://turkey.safeway.com/ for details. (475*F, no stuffing)
I only have 35 friends/family coming this year and there should be plenty to divy up and send home with them... again. Should be a great, fun day.

My brother and sister in law are driving my nephew Billy down here to see me in the Peachtree Desert (Alanta) from Pennsylvania with their diesel Jetta. We're gonna shoot up the birds with spices that'd make Barry Bonds cry. Then we're going to boil the birds in pure Georgia peanut oil. For dessert we're going to say a few prayers, do a rain dance, and then throw measured amounts of potash and some of my special XXX-kick-ass-in-a-jug whisky into the hot turkey pot and pray to the gods of transesterification to smile upon us. The leftovers just might succomb to the powers of Dr. Rudy himself and submit themselves into becoming ethyl ester biodiesel. If they pass a quick 3/27 test they might jump into the 'dub's tank all on their own and kick some yankee a.s back up highway 41 to the wrong side of the Mason Dixon. Billy can stay.

About 6 months ago The friggin' rabbit made some calls to where we thought he was living. We used phone information to obtain the numbers. One was never answered and one said they never heard of him iirc. It sorta became a dead end after that. Imo, I believe he may have suffered a stroke or worse. His posting towards the end indicated something real wrong with his thought process. Or perhaps he fell off the wagon and went to booze again.
Seeing as I have a bunch of spare time between trips to the beach, so I'll look around some more and see what I can come up with.

He and his wife still have a phone number listed in the Moab white pages at the same address that's shown on his yahoo profile. I just searched his name in the Moab Times-Independent and got nothing.

Out here in Oz, you practically have to mortgage your house to get a turkey.
We're still looking at options. A roast or chicken on the barbie. Trying to talk hubby into some yabbies (big crayfish) but so far no luck.
It'd be different, anyway.
It's hard to believe T-day's just around the corner. It's going into summer here, and as usual already hotter than heck. Getting close to 100f later this week.

Santa has a better idea. He arrives here in singlet and shorts! Still has the beard though, and the hat :)
It's too hot down here for reindeer, too, so he has "six white boomers" to pull his sleigh. A boomer is a male kangaroo.

then Friday my wife wants me to fry a small turkey so her sister and nephew can come over since they live down here and wasn't invited to my sister's house. so we will do a small dinner then too. I'm afraid i will be turkey'd out by the time we drop that one in the oil though.

Mike Simmons - 18 Nov 2007 20:10 GMT > So, what is everyone's plans for the day and if you are cooking a > bird, how do you plan on doing it? As usual, the Yankee's will invade and stay fer a day or two. This year, there will be ten of 'em counting the kids. I will fire up the furnace in the RV and park the youngun's out there at night so it won't be quite so crowed. A house full of Yankee's is like a Chinese fire drill. Counting us, there will be 18 at the table.
We will have our tradional oven roasted turkey with sage stuffing, smashed taters, sweet taters, green beans, peas in browned butter, waldorf salad, hot rolls and punkin' pie with real whipped cream and pecan pie.
Best wishes to all for Thanksgving!
God Bless!

If I leave here around 7:30AM, I hit DC around 11:00AM and the traffic isn't all that bad then. The holiday traffic doesn't usually start (for the past few years) until Tuesday afternoon and I should be way out of there by then. Now if there is some construction in that area then I'm SOL.
