On Friday the family is heading to Utah for Thanksgiving. In a car. With no plans to stop. That's 21 or so hours in the car. The kids will have portable DVD players and an ipad to fight over and will hopefully sleep a lot. I've downloaded Don Quixote and Huck Finn to listen to while driving, but any other suggestions for things to listen to? That are free? Is there a whole bunch of podcasts or anything that are worth my while?

I've got all three Hunger Games and all the GoT in audio.

We were going to get the second Hunger Games but it's like $20+ which is ridiculous.

Yeah whats on your wish list? Sounds like anything from the young adult section.

Hi there.

Whew. That's like the 3rd pregnancy scare I've had this year.

I'm in fantasy WR hell. Will someone please pick my WRs for me the rest of the season? Can start 4 of them and at best I get 2 right each week.

A. Johnson vs Jax

S. Johnson vs Mia

Colston vs Oak

D. Moore vs NO

Shorts vs Hou

T. Smith vs Pit

Lloyd vs Ind

Colston is a must start, esp vs Oakland. Moore would seem like a no-brainer this week. Houston should run for 300 yds so how many looks will AJ get? Will Cecil get garbage time points? arg.

I stopped to get a salad on the way to the office and noticed that turkeys were .70 a pound with a $50 purchase. I asked the gal if that included booze and she said no but they would make an exception for me. So I walked out of there with a salad, a big bottle of JD, some cashews and a 22 pound turkey for $70.

SCORE!

Of course we aren't having Thanksgiving this year....

I witnessed something very strange today. I stopped about 4:30pm to get a salcissa sandwich at this joint in a strip shopping center. I knew I was going to be stuck in traffic for a good 45 minutes so I got it to go. I walk to my car and I see this white gal, 50ish I would say walking to her car. She gets about 5 feet from her car, drops two big black purses on the ground, gets in the car and starts to back up. Then she puts the car in park, gets out, grabs the purses and starts walking towards the store she just walked out of.

After thinking about it, she probably stole the purses. I should have written her plate down.

Had to Google, still have no clue wtf this is.

It's an Italian sausage. Bottom left corner.

Well, if diving into pools doesn't kill you....

SORRY I LIKE GOOD FOOD! Plus I haven't had anything this bad (AWESOME!) for me in close to 4 months.

Oh, please...my diet is horrid. I would eat that every day if I had one close by. I've never even heard of that before. Sounds like heaven. Still, was funny joke.Another great discovery about riding my bike home is that I can't really hop into the drive-thru at Jack and the Box for sourdough jacks, which I liked to do every month or so. Those things are like crack to me. Also, pretty hard to stop off for happy hour beers and snacks without a bike lock, so I'm banking on this adding a few of the days back to my life cigarettes and heavy drinking took away.

 

[General Malaise]

I've never cooked a turkey before, but I read the newspaper last night and have convinced myself that I am going to GRILL the turkey on my gas grill. Seems like a 12 pound bird would take about 3 hours max at 325. This will leave the stove/oven open for wifey to make all the sides and fixings. Plus, I can stand around outside and drink copiously.

Sometimes, if they aren't cooked right, they're a little chewy.

I've never grilled a turkey but have smoked half a dozen or so on my Weber smoker. I was going to suggest you buy one but I guess they are discontinued. I received mine as a wedding present from a client and it was only $50 or so back then. Looks like you would have to drop almost $300 for a fancy model now. The great thing about smoking on that thing vs. the BGE is the fire had to be pretty closely monitored and it took a long time. So that meant staying up all night drinking and smoking while everybody else slept.

If you have never cooked a turkey before, please do not attempt it on a grill. Seriously. Tyrkey cooking is a bit of an art. Cook it too little and you get everyone sick with salmonella, cook it too much and its dried out and almost inedible.Do this (you, too Bob):Submerge the turkey in a container and cover with water and a couple of cups of salt. You can add other seasoning and stuff to the water, but its really not necessary Leave it in the water 2-3 days. Keep it cool. You may need to add ice. Soaking the turkey in an ice chest filled with water is a good way to help keep it cool (under 45 degrees, and 35 is far superior.On thanksgivng, turn your oven up as high as it will go, usually about 500 degrees. Wash the turkey, inside and out. Slather it with olive oil and then season if desired. I usually do not. It does not really need it.. Do not put too much salt, as it will not need too much after the brine. If you can find some fresh rosemary a few branches in the cavity is good. Do not "stuff" the turkey. It will throw off all the cooking times. Wrap the wing tips and ends of the drumsticks in some foil, otherwise they will get burnt before the rest of the bird is ready. Put the bird in the hot oven until it is nicely browned all over. Rotating or changing its position a time or two will promote even browning. in the turkey Then turn off the oven. DO NOT open the oven door. After 2-3 hours, stick a thermometer inn the thickest part of the breast and see if its at 155-165 degrees. If not, turn the oven to 300 and continue cooking until it hits 160.Remove to oven and let it sit in a warm spot to rest for 20-30 min. before carving. Slathering the bird with butter inside and out at this time will make it even more deiscious, but may increase the calories. Cover loosely with a sheet of foil to help keep it warm. Use all the pan juices to make your stuffing and gravy while the bird rests.This will be one of the juiciest, tastiest turkies you will ever eat.

Keep learning your BGE. I can keep mine going all night with a single log and maintain it at about 200 degrees, once I get the flues tuned in. You can still stay up drinking all night if you want, but no need to be minding the bird. Wood chips will provide all the smoke you need if you want to smoke it.

Almost exactly how Mrs. SLB makes it. We usually get a fresh, brined turkey and then I smoke one as well. Plus we just got a ton of Rosemary out of the garden last weekend.

Anybody ducked into the "Companies want ridiculous skills and pay SQUAT for it" thread? I just browsed the first page and it looks like some classic MoP. Amirite?

Last night on 60 minutes they are running a piece on a company that makes widgets for aircrafts all over the world and how they can't find skilled labor. I thought this was going to be an interesting piece since there are so many unemployed people and the 60 Minutes folks were saying there is like 3 million open jobs. They show this company which has gone to great links to find folks and they have a real need for folks that don't make errors on their resume, can do algebra related problems, and basically they are saying they can't even find young folks fresh out of college that can pass these simple hurdles. I find that hard to believe but then again i see a lot of resumes and I throw out stacks of them due to all kinds of reasons but yes obvious grammatical errors are a major problem and usually make me not call the person in for an interview unless I see something magical the rest of the way down in work history.

I stopped reading at the bolded and haven't gone back since.

Haven't decided if I am going to buy a turducken this year or just do a turkey.

My wife made a turducken one year and it was incredible. But, she said it was wayyy too much work.

Hmmmm, decisions, decisions. Maybe I should make a poll?
