After my liberal dad died, my right wing uncle's main nemesis was gone, so nobody real talks politics anymore. My cousin, her husband, and Bill talk about culture war stuff and how dumb and unhinged the far left is but that's about it.
Wife makes Thanksgiving almost out of Better Homes and Gardens. Turkey brine ordered months in advance- we start loading up on chicken broth in October. I smoke a brisket on the Pit Boss. Lots of Happy customers.
Last year we went to Bend's relatives and I enjoyed my first fried turey. I liked it- but keeping kids, and flying soccer balls away from the fry area was too stressful.
It figures you married a white broad that doesn't know how to cook the native's favorite bird.
I can imagine the dry white meat to match the dry waspy relatives, with a dry chardonnay to complement of course. Substituting dry ham is no way to go through life son.
We brine the bird and then smoke it, comes out crispy outside super moist inside. Only thing better is deep frying but I already have a smoker and not a deep fryer.
It is a two day effort so yeah, once(maybe twice) per year but wholly fuck all is it good.
Massive agree on the day after sandwiches with all the things on them. I can eat them for a week and not get sick of them.
I suggest cooking the turkey on your smoker using a turkey cannon. Awesome! Little prep, no brining and super moist tasty bird. A turkey cannon is a pipe mounted on an angle attached to a base. You place the pipe inside the cavity of bird. It holds the bird up off the grate. You can put things in the pipe like broth, herbs, spices etc. that will baste and season the bird from the inside out. Cooks fast as well. No dry bird! Add a bit of smoke flavoring and it's about as good as it gets.

Sounds like lyrics to an Alanis Morrissette song
Sounds awesome
You like your turkey like you like your women
Wait till you hear about the au gratin potatoes.
Been celebrating on Kauai, thanks for your concern
Hi @BearsWiin
Wife makes Thanksgiving almost out of Better Homes and Gardens. Turkey brine ordered months in advance- we start loading up on chicken broth in October. I smoke a brisket on the Pit Boss. Lots of Happy customers.

I didn’t see any macadamia nuts so bite me.
Do you clean houses and do laundry there?
@BearsWiin knows he’s a laughingstock to everyone so he brags about his vacations to strangers. Kind of like H and his 17 UDub degrees.
Take a recipe for pecan pie and make it a macadamia nut pie. The most decadent desert ever.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday no matter what age you are, unless your family sucks I guess.
Halloween and NYE peak when you’re like 29.
July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are fantastic until you pretty much die.
I’m with ya on this sage bit of advice.
What about those whose entire family is dead?
Yes, my entire family is dead. Besides my dad knocking on death's door.
Holidays are great! How can anyone not love the holidays? Gotta be crazy not to, I'm hearing.
