The OSUT #225 Baby its getting cold outside

[jwamplerusa]

Turkey is at 125 and climbing on the smoker. SWMBO'd had the sides in the oven.


Current ETA is 1430 hours.

Oh, and I'm about three mimosas in...

Wow, some of the places around here have trouble with not enough people showing up to work, but you must really screw up to get everyone to walk out.

Apparently they walked out this past week. They were open for carry out, but they already had 96 orders and they were short staffed, so they closed the dining room.

Awesome timing. I just hit 150 and opened up the vents a little to crisp the skin for the final 15 degrees.

Turkey is done. Rolls and extra pan of dressing going in the oven in about 10 minutes. Carving the turkey here so I have tge carcass for soup. Making the gravy here and then taking everything to the kids' house.

Impressive that you're at 150 already on that big ol turkey

Meal is done

 

[DoggyDaddy]

All done eating, and everything's cleaned up and put away. Tomorrow I'm going to go find a loaf of some good bread for sammiches. Susan wants turkey manhattans but we've got instant mashed potatoes for that since I didn't make any today.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I managed to sneak in a little nap.

I did this, and my smoker ran out of pellets. I was out long enough for it to drop to 52°.

Howdy Gman! Mine was after I'd eaten and cleaned everything up. I did manage to get in an hour nap yesterday while I was smoking the turkey though. I just stoked it with charcoal and hickory chips before I laid down.

I loaded the hopper full when I put the pork on @ 0130 this morning. I checked it when I put the bird on @ 10, I forgot to check it again.

Were you able to get everything done eventually?

 

[Jaybird1980]

Dinner was delicious.
Chicken, corn casserole, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes.

Off to take the FIL a plate of leftovers. Then it's dessert time

 

[target64]

Well the in-laws have left. The cat is hiding. People are still talking to each other. So I guess it was a success.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy target. Our cat hid back in the bedroom all day today. I joined her when I took my nap.

 

[GregD]

I'm way too full !

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Were you able to get everything done eventually?

Yup. Turned out a little dry, but great flavor.

Evening Gman

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Gee whiz... Just invoked the majorly angry grandpa voice just now with one of the boys. Bryson turned over a dining room chair and hit his brother in the head with it "because he wouldn't move". I asked him if he thought it would be okay if I whacked him in the head with a chair when he gets in my way. Susan and I both made him apologize and then she sent him to his room. Ugh!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Seems like the only thing that makes him pay attention is when I turn into Gunny from Full Metal Jacket.
