  1. I have one of each. Popeyes will go indirect on the grill set at 350 like the package says. I also have a raw 20 pound butterball to roast. I’m old fashioned and like a plain roasted turkey versus Cajun, fried, smoked. Trying to figure the time for the butterball 8n the oven and the temps.
  2. This may be somewhere in this thread already but for a regular roasted turkey what are the thoughts on starting it at 425 degrees for the first 45 minutes then 325 degrees for the rest? I have a 20 pound turkey so trying to do the calculations on time in the oven. I have seen 13-15 minutes per pound but not sure if that changes if I start the oven higher for the first 45 minutes. As you can see, Turkey is not my thing.
  3. I a trying the water bath. One site and Twice Horn say the water must be below 40 degrees. The Popeyes instructions with the turkey say under 70 degrees. I wonder if the difference is this is a cooked turkey and not raw. My water is in the 63 degree range once I have added ice and I am all out of ice now.
  4. So, I do a regular roasted turkey in the oven, but my family also wanted one of those Popeyes turkeys. I picked it up a few weeks ago and it comes frozen and says to thaw in the fridge for 72 hours. I put it in the fridge Sunday night and the fucker is still kind of frozen this morning (going on 90+ hours). Thoughts on how to quickly thaw a turkey. The directions say put it in a water bath but make sure to have a faucet on full running over it the whole time which doesn't make sense to me as that would flood everywhere if I do it inside. I can fill my kitchen sink up with water but not sure how long it will take to thaw or how safe it is. I prefer not giving all my guests food poisoning tonight.
  5. I know everybody on this site is a QB Guru coach in real life and I admit I am not one of those, but when I watch Ewers throw the ball lately it seems to not have any "zip" on it at all. I know some of his passes are supposed to be touch passes and float a little, but it seems like the ball floats on every pass. I get he sucks throwing the deep ball but he shows little power even on the short or medium throws lately. Basically, to my unqualified eyes he doesn't have an NFL arm but when he first showed up on campus, he definitely had an NFL arm. Is this just the injury he has that is causing this?
  6. Someone want to explain to me why this makes sense? It seems we should share info like that since he is up for Attorney General. It’s not like it’s a democratic witch hunt against Gaetz. Isn’t this a bi partisan investigation? I guess hiding evidence that hurts someone is cool now, huh? https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/20/politics/republicans-ethics-panel-block-gaetz-report/index.html
  7. I read this while looking at your avatar and I think you legit drained energy from me.
  8. I put all my money into Dogecoin. That’s overseas, right?
  9. I find it hard to compare the two. Garland was a pussy not willing to get his hands dirty and charge people committing crimes because it would look political. The other is going to go after anyone who is against him politically. Gaetz will do whatever Trump tells him to unlike pieces of shit like Sessions and Barr. At least they would tell Trump, “hey, Hillary didn’t do anything so we can’t charge her”. I see Gaetz as a guy that plants a gun and a bag of coke on someone if Trump tells him to. I fully expect investigations and arrests of people like AOC once they get uppity with Dear Leader.
  10. Obergruppenführer Josh Hawley has a nice ring to it, no?
  11. So secretary of energy will be MTG right?
  12. I'm not depressed at all. I do have a simple response to pretty much everyone posting examples of people suffering because of the way they voted. That response is, "Fuck em all". I wish for the worst for these people. In this timeline I am sure somehow, someway nothing bad will happen to those people, and the good people will be the only ones to suffer which sucks. I hate to have this attitude, but I find it hard to have nothing but negative feelings for people that fucked up the once great country that I loved.
  13. So basically anybody that supported Trump the last few years gets a big position in the government whether they are qualified or not for it. So where do MTG, Boebert and the rest of the Trumpers end up so they can destroy what's left of this country?
  14. Dumb question, but is the defense secretary usually someone that was a very high rank in the military at one point in their career. Like a general or career military? I’m not a military guy but I wonder how actual generals will feel taking orders from a tv show host.
  15. I think the US will be fine. It’s not like Trump has a history of fucking up everything he has ever been put in charge of. As for me, I’m a rich white dude and my industry will do better under Trump/Republicans with less regulation (I unlike others didn’t vote for him because I would personally gain but I guess now I will just enjoy the extra money I am going to get). My main decision going forward is do I want to stay in TX. I just moved to a house on the lake in DFW but if the Republicans keep passing laws that make me and the wife uncomfortable then we will have to move somewhere else in the US.
  16. First, nice humblebrag about your limo driver. Second, if Trump wins I hope he and his family get deported back to their shithole country and spend the rest of their days thinking about what a bad choice they made.
  17. So am I the only one that thinks its possible Trump projects everything to the other side so when he says the Dems are rigging the election it is actually his team that figured out a way to rig it for him? I can totally see him demanding that they make sure he wins all 50 states or some shit like that. Something so implausible that it the riots come, it will be from the good guys when NY, CA, MA, etc… are suddenly red on election night. I feel like a manic depressive as I swing back and forth from Harris in a blowout to Trump cheats and wins. Can’t wait for this to be over.
  18. This right here. Violence is coming. Tens of millions of people still believe the 2020 elections was rigged. Not because of facts but because Trump, his allies, Fox News told them that and in fact keep telling them that. Over the last few months, you have heard Trump and others saying they can only lose if the Dems cheat. I am seeing friends on social media like Facebook already saying stuff like it's obvious the Dems are trying to cheat to steal the election. Once he loses Tuesday night (and I actually think it will be a blow out for Kamala) he will go on TV and say the election was stolen from him and some of those millions of people will lose their shit and violence will occur. Hopefully it is put down quickly across the country and we can figure out some way to move forward as a nation and send the MAGA crowd back to their holes.
  19. IF all those Puerto Ricans in FL voted and turned the state of FL blue on election night (yeah, I know it's not gonna happen) I may have to crack open the Pappy 23 I have been hoarding.
  20. So, I know the end of America is important and all, but this thread has brought up Chili's talk and I must be the only one who does the following. At Chili's and nowhere else do I order the ranch to dip my chips in along with the salsa and it's fucking delicious. Also, earlier in this thread there was talk about Project 2025 taking away Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.... Yeah, I guess those are important since they give people money to live on and health care but the thing that really hurts most people that Project 2025 looks to take away is porn.
  21. I work at a company in the top 15 of the Fortune 500. They announced that all travel for Nov 5th-12th had to be specially approved by leadership. On Wednesday I fly to phoenix for a meeting so we will see if there are riots going on in that swing state.
  22. Yankees lose the World Series. The world is turning in the right direction now. I feel a Harris victory coming next week and a Longhorn football championship for the trifecta.
  23. Did you not watch the UT-Georgia game. Every fucking add for 4 hours was either the Trump or Cruz add about trans people. Between those ads and the game I thought I was gonna have a stroke.
