  1. "You think anyone really gives a shit about what your major is? English literature, biology, whatever. The whole point of a college degree is to show a potential employer that you showed up some place, four years in a row, completed a series of tasks reasonably well and on time, so if they hire you there's a semi decent chance that you'll show up there every day and not fuck his business up." "That's what you think college is all about?" "That and drinking beer and getting laid" Damn. Fucking brilliantly said.
  2. Man I was trying to figure that out. I thought it was the bar owner girl from Ozark and couldn't figure out why IMDb was lying to me. Also easy call out if you follow Sly on IG/Twitter was that the server at the restaurant in the beginning of E3 when he sees the white horse is one of his daughters.
  3. It tastes so good when it hits your lips
  4. I made 2 giant stock pots of turkey stock tonight. Seems excessive. I am frankly exhausted after spending the past ~ 2 hours picking meat out of the bones. What is this life.
  5. I appreciate the big breast energy up in here. My bird was juicy as all hell but I've got to tell you guys I think my taste buds have changed since I lost weight. I'm not sure I love smoked turkey anymore. I didn't eat that much and I was good with that. Everyone said it was the best one yet, though so shrug. I will see what I think of the oven roasted breast tomorrow if my mother in law doesn't cook it to 200 degrees (she will).
  6. Looks great! 10 sticks of butter in here.
  7. Bird on
  8. This page is a mess, scroll about 2/3 down for the recipe card, but this is what I used for the giblet gravy. It thickened up nicely and looks great. Sorry no pics https://www.thefreshcooky.com/giblet-turkey-gravy/
  9. Jesus man butter is crazy expensive right now. It's the one thing a forgot and had to make a run, it's like $6 for a box of 4 sticks Kroger brand. I bought 6 lbs because I didn't want to skimp. 😂 Yes I sarcastically blamed the President to my 10 year old and yes she understood but some of the people around me may not have and shot me a dirty look. Turkey stock for giblet gravy currently in fridge. I still have to make a roux tonight, sigh.
  10. No expertise on a dry brine in terms of time. Scroll back in this thread and find my bump from last year with the Serious Eats/Kenji article about brining. One note in the future if you wet brine make sure you pat it very dry with paper towels and let it rest uncovered for at least 24h in the fridge.
  11. I got my guys out of the juice this morning. Patted dry and chilling. And the Griswold family tree has been procured. LFG
  12. What the fuck surly. It's Thanksgiving Eve and no 🦃 talk to speak of.
  13. Sounds Haggis approved
  14. Give me 2 years and I'll sell you mine. You gotta pick it up, though.
  15. Part of my hesitation - I don't really know. I started doing this because it seemed dumb not to. I'm spending the money anyway. I am probably going to try to put together a 4-5 day trip to Orlando in Jan/Feb. I also will plan a bigger trip in the summer. I want to try to pull off Hawaii or maybe something in the Caribbean. I'm not sure if I should take what I've got and try to use it for a petty Orlando trip or something bigger.
  16. New to this. I've got a toe in the water but I'm a little tepid on it because it seems like a lot to learn and my plate is always pretty full. I signed up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred on the advice of someone and did the thing where I met the minimum spend, referred my wife, and she met the minimum spend so now sitting on 150k points there. Also have a bunch of points in my US Bank Flex Rewards account. Is there a website or resource out there that shows you the best exchange/transfer programs for each card? I also need to figure out what my next card should be and if I am understanding the game correctly I want to find one that partners with my preferred travel brands, right? Thanks in advance for any general advice.
  17. It's actually a pretty brilliant display of laziness. It was windy. Gorilla tape makes a more convenient paperweight than it does an adhesive.
  18. Annual tomfoolery
  19. I loved this episode and I'm in 💯 now. The weed scenes were hilarious and Sly was either definitely high or he's a much better actor than I had given him credit for. After watching the final scenes in this episode I'm thinking definitely the former. But this show is fun and interesting and good and I'm going to watch it until it is revealed that Dwight's daughter is a confidential fbi informant and it gets stupid like The Old Man.
  20. You got this bro. Post up with any questions. Lots of amateur turkey master baters around here. You'll get solid advice. Procured the 18 lb whole bird today, picking up the breast for the in-laws tomorrow. Dunking both into the wet brine whenever I can find time tomorrow afternoon.
  21. Scroll back a bit. I have the Hisense.
  22. I liked it but I felt like Sly was even more unintelligible than normal. That was kind of difficult for me to get past. I need to watch it again.
  23. No it means removing it and leaving it off. I think some people may use it for stock or other purposes.
  24. Great win guys. UT looked like a top 3 team tonight.
