What's cookin' at your house?

We fried 2 both turned out delicious. Got tired of keeping the knob turned on the turkey fryer hack with handyman secret tool #3 View attachment 238622

I haven’t deep fried in ten years. Got an Orion cooker and did both but everyone preferred the Orion bird so I got a second Orion
Getting kinda burned out on the Orion, not sure I’m ready to go back deep frying though, maybe a Pellet smoker.

I was kinda interested when you guys started talking about making your own eggnog. But after seeing the ingredients, it doesn't sound so good anymore.

Does it really take a full pound of sugar to make a batch? I maybe only use a lb. of sugar in a year for everything.

It's not like your drinking a lot of it; it's a sipper.

Cooked a turkey on our Pit Boss pellet smoker/ grill today. First time and turned out great with a few tips from a cousin. Smoked on low heat for an hour then turned the temp up to 350 until meat was around 165 degrees.

Wife makes a ham glaze with peaches and cloves, her own creation, oh so awesome.

Went to @PhotoNinja 's Mom's for T-Day dinner. She wanted me to bring stuffing(dressing), so I did a quick and dirty bagged mix 'cause I didn't have time to do my recipe from Cook's Country. Turned out okay. (I was turning ~15 lbs of apples into applesauce this morning, thus the quick-and-dirty).

But yesterday evening I made a pumpkin cheesecake to take. Haven't made one in a few years, and it sounded real good. Let it cool and put it in the garage fridge to chill down. Got through dinner, took a little break, then started in on dessert. I looked at PhotoNinja and said aw crap! I forgot the pumpkin cheesecake at home. I didn't say anything because her Mom was standing there( and didn't know I was planning on bringing it). So when we got home we had second dessert!

It takes perspective on an odd measurement, it is unusual to express it in pounds, that is about two cups in near a gallon of liquid.

Back to perspective, the typical sweet tea has a pound or two cups of sugar in a gallon.

Before sweet tea was common in the north I would put 4-6 packets of sugar in a big glass of tea. Friends would joke about tea with my sugar. A can of coke has the equivalent of 7 packets of sugar and no one thinks that remarkable…

Yeah, that's still a lot to me. I don't drink sweet tea either. And never touch pop.

I may never make the stuff, but I would have a glass if someone offered it to me!
