Turkey Day Plans

Smashedin the real life inspiration for Jim Lahey!

Gonna stoke up the ole turkey fryer around 8ish and go at it. So far we've got 8 birds to fry but we always have a few last minute additions. Last year when it was all said and done I think between two fryers we did 13 birds.

Just immediate family again this year for a feast and football. And a few cocktails I'm sure!

Go to the Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Maybe some turkey eating in there too with the family.

The wife, son, grandson and myself but when we fry birds we fry for a lot of families. They'll come over, drop their bird/s and when they're done they'll leave.

The first bird dropped is sacrificial, we naw on it until we're finished frying. There's normaly four or five of us hanging around throughout the whole time so that birds always gone. My neighbor always does three or four and he'll freeze them and take them out as he wants.

Last year we even did some cornish game hens and some chickens and froze them for later. With peanut oil being above $30 per fryer it only makes sense to do as much as you can.

Nice! Big fan of fryin' up a gobbler. I always use to fry one for the Super Bowl. A few years back when my aunt and uncle came up from Texas, we fried a couple up. Nothin' better than drinking beer in the driveway, watchin' a turkey fry, then all standing around the table picking apart the turkey while the other one bakes. Good times!

I am also surprised that I never caused a fire or burnt the sh1t out of myself. Good thing peanut oil has such a high flash point!

Sounds like you know what you're doing. I have heard Thanksgiving Day sees more calls to fire departments than any other day of the year. No doubt it's people frying inside, dropping a frozen turkey right in the fryer, or both.

Yea we've got it down pretty good. Like I said, last year we did 13 birds starting at 8AM and we finished around 12:30 so it beats the hell out of cooking a bird in the oven for 4 hrs.

Funny story. About 10-11 yrs ago the wife decided we were going back to TX for thanksgiving with her family. Her mother and her sister have both their houses on about 5 acres and they cant be 200 ft apart. (Hell no!) Anyway I took my gear to fry a bird with much displeasure from her mother. She makes all this drama about cooking a bird for 4 plus hrs. I go out about an hr before she wanted to eat and got going and had the bird in the house before she had hers out of the oven. She wanted nothing to do with the fried bird at all. The wife fixed her moms plate with nothing but fried bird and she went on and on about how good her bird was. Then we gave her some of hers (thinking it was mine) and she went on and on about how dry and bland it was. Now my brother-in-law has to fry a turkey every thanksgiving!

well no thanksgiving here, but I'll be playing in a mens league tournament so that's close enough

Going out for dinner. Our family gathering will be on Friday.

Thanksgiving starts on Wednesday night for me, out to drink after work with the friends until we pass out. Then wake up and head to the first feast that really isn't that great. We follow it up with a visit to my mom's side of the family and pretty much eat until we fall asleep. The spread for that is amazing! Starts with appetizers in the kitchen, dinner in the family room, and dessert in the living room. Enough food for all 50-60 of us.

Besides 4th of July this is my holiday. Love it! No gifts, no garbage lawn ornamanets, none of that made up BS. Just your family and friends which are exactly what mean the most to me in this world.
