Administrators Ferrariman Posted November 26, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 It's been a tough year. A year that will have us celebrating a very different Thanksgiving. Most of us won't be able to celebrate with family and friends as we usually would. But I'd still like to think that we do have things to be thankful for. Being able to enjoy friends on this site for one. Here in Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving in early October. What would be Columbus Day in the U.S. Being born and raised in New Jersey, I get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice. A nice little perk. So I'd like to wish all our members a Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully we can make the best of it and look forward to a better Thanksgiving next year! Everyone stay safe! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewRemington Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Happy late Thanksgiving, everybody! I just had a small celebration with my wife and her parents. We all have little contact with the outside world other than with ourselves. I’ve never been a big fan of turkey. I like the turkey cold-cuts for sandwiches, but real roasted turkey is always dry and stringy. It seems like more people are having duck now, but turkey is still the mainstay. I’ve never had duck, myself. Rotisserie chicken would be great for Thanksgiving! However, I eat chicken several times a week already!

Brine the turkey in a bucket 12 hours ahead of the big day and I guarantee it will not be dry. Check out Alton Brown’s show Good Eats on the topic. My wife did this the first time we hosted our families 20 years ago and always does now. My dad couldn’t shut up about how juicy the bird was much to my mother’s chagrin, and my mother in law seemed a bit shocked that my wife made such a good turkey on her first try. LOL!

Here’s a link: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/good-eats-roast-turkey/ Yep. I loved watching Good Eats with Alton back when the show was originally on. I bought seasons 1 & 2 on DVD when they came out but they never produced any more seasons. I searched and searched to no avail until finally I found all season on Apple TV and I bought them all. I loved the Thanksgiving turkey episode and have been brining my turkeys for over 20 years or whenever that ep first came out. I rewatch it ever year just prior to making my turkey just so I don’t miss anything. I never could find crystalized ginger to put in the brine at any supermarket in my area so I ended up buying a big bottle on the internet that will probably last me another 20 years. I was surprise at how the turkey triangle actually seemed to work and I always followed his directions of 500* for 1/2 hour and then turn down and use the thermometer till 165* on the white meat, pull, rest, eat, take a nap! I learned a lot about cooking from watching that show and have made a lot of his recipes. One that I loved was baked smoked paprika chicken thighs over sliced potatoes and onions. One pan dish and so good. His cornish hens with pearl onion and bacon was really good too. As a result, I always brine my chicken, turkey and even pork chops prior to cooking. I never eat dry meat again! Thanks Alton! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great show, I think, because it dispensed with tradition in the kitchen, no matter how deeply held the beliefs, and followed the science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eillio Martin Imbasciati Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all the wonderful people in this community, a community that practically breathes for each other and never forgets a Barbara Streisand cameo. I myself have to race to the hotel today for an 8 PM meeting of the Sanitation Justice League (a meeting postponed the last two days; it's a goofy job with its heart in the right place), then tomorrow I'm eating a turkey loaf and viewing the film "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", as is my tradition. Hope everyone stays safe and has a little fun with whatever they have planned, and I'll be back on the comp Saturday! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it, especially if I picture Castillo as a Santa-type character (one doesn't have to tell Marty what they want, since he already knows, which is why he's a man of few words. I'm sure Castillo would Santa the heck out of the holidays for sure!). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Ferrariman; for me my family is in the past, so I do my own thing while being my true self, and that is something I'm thankful for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
