With the newish IP-TV system I put in I get 70K+ channels so there really isn't a sport (or porno) I can't get on my 7 TVs.

 

I am going to treat those 3 days as a Spa Get-Away where I go between the TVs including the one outside next to the 9-person Jacuzzi.

 

I pity the telemarketer who attempts to pierce my balloon of solitude.

 

When they call, just put on a porno and tell them you're a little busy right now. Or, turn the volume up and listen to their sales pitch. See how long it takes them to hang up.

Love T-giving meal!! My turkey is in brine right now (water, salt, sugar, sliced oranges and apples, thyme, sage, rosemary sprigs). Tomorrow, I’ll rinse it, spatchcock it and put on smoker for three hours basting with a butter, white wine herb sauce. Super moist and tasty.

Hot oil is the solution to almost all of life's problems.

 

I cook one in the oven, and one in the fryer, every Thanksgiving. We're having 23 guests, for dinner tomorrow. 

I've deep fried turkey's at several tailgates, as well!

One of those turkey's didn't quite reach temp so it rode home(unbeknownst to me driving) on the top of our Dodge Ram van.   It was pretty well suctioned on there after 70 miles.

Depending how it’s served it can be a very gamey/dry meat.

 

Personally not my fave 

It is too easy, to overcook a turkey. 325º @ 17 minutes/Lb. is about right, for my stove. A good thermometer, can be very helpful. An accurate measurement of internal temperature can give you the wanted result. Those plastic 'pop ups' that allegedly indicate doneness, are worse than useless.
