He's got a reputation for being a bit eccentric, but it doesn't matter. That's the first Christmas movie we watch to start the season and  watching it with Chevy Chase in a small theater is going to be amazing to us.

 

Fantastic

 

Now back to your turkey cooking, is that how you do it? Have you done a deep fried one?

Do you get along with your in-laws? I live on the east side myself, and normally would head out to Gates where my grandma lives

  Pretty well but life is not always perfect.  I get down a little this time of year as key relatives and friends are no longer living.  Most of them died too young.

Holidays can be rough for that reason, it does make you appreciate who is there with you though

your Thanksgiving is too close to Christmas.....  :(

 

 

  I could go once in October like you guys and once in November like we do.  Fewer people today eat the traditional Thanksgiving dinner but I absolutely love it.  Already thinking about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, apple sauce, rolls, pie, etc..

I've never done it deep-fried. I try not to invest in cooking devices that have a single purpose, and I'm not industrious enough to create my own fryer.

 

We used to put it on the Traeger, but no matter what you do, the skin turns to rubber. 

 

We typically spatchcock now. It's not too hard to remove the spine. I usually get my liberal brother-in-law to do it because he knows a lot about not having a spine. 

 

We do a couple of different stuffings,  but make enough to pipe it in under the skin, which helps keep the meat moist. We do another in a pan that has homemade sage sausage, mushrooms, breading and pine nuts, then we fill a cheese grater with extra pine nights and grate them over the stuffing. It creates a cool dusting that crunches up. Frankly, I'm good just eating the stuffing.

Both of my parents are gone. My mother died when I was 11, but my father lived to 92 in spite of being a douchebag. All grandparents are gone.  My mother-in-law lives in Egypt and my father-in-law lives in Germany. My brothers and sisters are all on the east coast.  So we're usually alone for the holidays, but we don't mind.

My son turns 15 the day after Thanksgiving. For his birthday we got him VIP tickets to see a special viewing of "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase on black Friday, featuring a Q&A and private meet-and-greet with Chase after the movie. He's gonna go crazy.

 

Be warned: Chevy Chase is renown for being an inveterate #######.  Worse than me.  Maybe your experience will be different, but you're well-advised to have low expectations, and Epstein didn't kill himself.

He just needs to be nice enough for the photo. Since there are just three of us, we like doing VIP events with something or someone we like, and virtually every time there isn't enough one-on-one interaction for anyone to !@#$ up.
