Since we have been in recruiting duty, most his soldiers here are from Iowa and have family here. I miss those days.

Very nice! I also agree with the turkey bag...much easier!!! It also tastes great! (Of course, I spice my turkey up with creole seasoning!

Make a conventional bird. Prepared correctly, nothing tastes better.

I wouldn't use an oven bag if my life depended on it. You can simply crimp the foil along the outside of the pan to give it a nice seal and keep the bird from drying out.

that's one big ****ing dog!

Personally, I would prefer the conventional bird. I don't care about the moisture issue. That's why we have gravy, as far as I'm concerned.

But this is out of my hands. I am just a spectator in this household. Call me Cassandra.

It's going to be done out on the lawn somewhere. That's all I know. I'm going to make sure I have the vid-cam, the fire dept. numbers, and I might invest in a small extinguisher.

I've also thought about taking out a life insurance policy on the boy, but I'm sure he'll live through the damage no matter how badly crippled and scarred he becomes.

Im with you were going prime rib and duck

I've had deep fried turkey before and its pretty fair but I did not think it was much better then a baked Turkey using Mayo instead of butter. Thats a moist turkey right there.

Besides during the holidays with a house full of family we all know its actually all about the proper amounts of wine/spirits that keeps the family together

No ****! I've seen horses smaller than that!

We'll be doing the fried bird thing at my casa this year.

Does McCook still have a fire department, or do they just blow the horn for tornados these days?

I put an oyster stuffing in the crop and an apple/sausage stuffing in the rear hatch. Gravy made with madeira and cognac.

Good Lord, Ro! Can I come to your house?!
