The turkey is in the smoker; an 11 pound specimen1 buttered, seasoned, and lightly stuffed with citrus, apple, and onion.2 The fowl is over a water pan, to which some wine and additional seasonings have been added. And the hickory chips and chunks are now working their magic.
It is a little windy for my [...]

Home from work, earlier than normal, but it still wasn’t like getting cut loose at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sipping a cold one, and soaking the hickory chunks for the turkey smoking extravaganza tomorrow. My little bride has cleaned the smoker, and lined the fire pan and water pan with foil. [...]

To all who take to the roads (or heaven forbid, the skies) today, please travel safely. I’m doing my part, I’m only going to work and back, and plan to spend the holiday ensconced here at tbbs WorldHQ. In that fashion, there will be one less vehicle adding to the congestion.
Happy Thanksgiving!

SWMBO and I usually smoke a smallish (11-13 pounds) turkey on Thanksgiving. We have a meal or two and save some breast meat for some sandwiches for the next week. On the Monday after Thanksgiving, SWMBO takes all the dark meat off the carcass, slices it up, and takes sandwich fixin’s to [...]

I’d previously bemoaned the fact that my brother-in-law’s CableCo doesn’t carry the NFL Network, resulting in our not watching the Kansas City Chieves on Thanksgiving night. Scott, aka The Fat Guy, suffered through listening to his Cowpokes on the radio, since he couldn’t get NFLnet.
Only yesterday, I wrote about NASCAR’s HotPass package [...]

That would be the NFL Channel, on which Baltimore and Cincinnati are now playing the Thursday Night game. I don’t care much about the outcome of the game, I just wanted to see whether DirecTV carried it. I missed the Kansas City Chieves (against Denver at that) on Thanksgiving night, because my brother-in-law’s cable [...]

Via Homeland Stupidity, many reasons to avoid TSA ineptitude at airports around the country.
Pies are common fodder during Thanksgiving; however, travellers who had the misfortune to go through Cleveland were met with:
Thousands of Americans this holiday season are going to go without Grandmother’s homemade pie, because the Transportation Security Administration has apparently banned pies from [...]

From Hot Springs AR, where SWMBO and I arrived tired and crabby yesterday afternoon. A good night’s sleep, and excellent weather, and we’re much better now.
I’m posting this from the blog’s admin interface; a first for me. I’m also using my brother-in-law’s Windows powered machine to post. I’ll try not to [...]

West to Memphis, across the Mighty Mississip’, and then into Arkansas. 400 miles to go. If I’m not heard from for a day or two, blame my brother-in-law’s recalcitrant internet connection. Or my exuberant participation in depleting his liquor supply. Or both.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

SWMBO and I find ourselves in Nashville TN tonight, 2/3 or so of our way to Hot Springs AR for Thanksgiving. We drove; I’m so sick of TSA’s ineffectual security grandstanding that I’ll go to great lengths not to fly again.
Plus, when one improves the life-to-date mileage of a Buick Lucerne from [...]
