  1. The gravy from the parts turkey was amazing. I don't get any drippings on the offset. I cook too hot. But the turkey tasted like ass. It was daf. I thought it was nearing completion by my instant read but then I probed deeper and was seeing 140 and got paranoid. Both sides, I wonder if I poked through the cavity or something. I waited until it came up to 160 in those same spots and the rest of the breast was reading 180. Yuck. Daf is pretty on brand for my wife so she had some and my son took some for his protein snack at school. The rest I'm going to pick apart and put into the stock with some veggies and egg noodles and make some soup.
  2. Just saw my favorite Christmas commercial for the first time this year. Brought a smile to my face. The Corona one with the palm tree. You like it, too, don't you.
  3. Separate them mid cook next time. I had the opposite problem. Thighs legs and wings were done an hour before the breast. We just finished eating, my God it was good this year.
  4. I tried the sink method for about 10 minutes for my parts turkey and then I checked the water temp and it was 60. Back into the fridge and cooked it partially frozen. We're rolling in Michigan!
  5. Any update on ROFLBOX?
  6. Out of the bath and air drying in the fridge. Maybe I might throw some giblets on that pizza and warm it up later.
  7. Dobbins is hurt. I think it's Gus easy.
  8. My team ain't great (7/12 in points) but clinched a playoff spot at 8-4. I've been preaching the playoffs are a different season. Any players anyone is targeting for weeks 15, 16 and 17? First time I've made the tourney since my controversial pre-draft trade for Le'Veon Bell. I still think it was legit and everyone in the league save 1 dude who still harps on it agreed. I've been cursed since starting with Bell sitting out the entire season I traded for him.
  9. We are in the brine. 2 gallons of water + 3 cups each of sugar and kosher salt mixed with some frozen canned apple juice concentrate. Covered the previously 20# spineless bird pretty thoroughly. I will pull it out tomorrow night for resting and seasoning.
  10. New worst commercial nominee. The Amazon old man custodian cleans the theater but sings like Pavarotti so the horse face usher buys him a tux on Amazon and gets him open mic time to sing and he turns into Michael MacDonald.
  11. Glad I didn't listen to you guys and played Levis. 27 points and double bonus I started the Texans D so I also reaped the rewards of his pick 6 and 53 sacks. Up by exactly 43 with him having Herbert and Dissly tomorrow. Going to be tight. They have scored that in 2 of the last 4.
  12. The dcbc "parts" turkey run.
  13. Thanks. I almost posted a follow up. I'm determined to be completely honest and transparent if I do this and thus I'm pretty nervous to admit to my multiple fetishes around random household appliances to someone only to have my data sold when a company gets acquired and yada yada yada next thing you know I'm banned from Bed Bath and Beyond. Did you go through a better help type of interface or a local provider that also sees clients virtually?
  14. My preferred method for cooking rice is microwavable pouch.
  15. Brandon Allen vs GB?
  16. Bowers?
  17. Does anybody have any experience with online teletherapy? I am starting to think it would be beneficial to talk to someone again but I do not have time right now to drive across town for regular appointments. I'm pretty paranoid about security/privacy, though. Should I be?
  18. With Allen on a bye pickings are very slim. DeVito vs TB Minshew vs Den Young vs KC Rush @ Washington Levis @ Hou
  19. Either I don't understand the product at all and I'm too lazy to look it up or the Bose ultra open earbuds are the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen. Just what I've been wanting! Earbuds that let in MORE ambient noise!!
  20. Goddammit dcbc. Looks like I'll be going to the store later. If it's open. Oh and I ordered a cheapo meat slicer today so I need something to practice on.
  21. Betonline.ag or Bovada.lv I'm not vouching for either.
  22. Looking great! I hope this doesn't screw with your holiday plans but we're going to need you to cook your family bird in that baby and post pics in the turkey thread. No shelf so it should fit no problem.
  23. Frog style https://youtu.be/8SQSLNxIHUQ?si=4VMemLhwFWAMuUzc
  24. I ordered a bird this weekend. 20-24 lb range Amish turkey. I pick it up on the 23rd. I wasn't able to do my annual spatchcock tradition last year due to some construction but I'll be back on my game this year with the reciprocating saw. I saw something on threads recently where people are "frogging" their birds instead of butterflying them. Basically this seems to be where you cut the neck/spine out but then make some deep cuts above the thighs and you butterfly it vertically instead of horizontally. I am not sure why this is becoming a thing, I don't really see any advantage to it. Has anyone tried it?
