    I've topped with a Tex-Mex gravy with beef like I use for enchilada gravy. It's pretty solid. I probably posted the recipe in the enchilada thread, but plenty of good ones online.
  2. We have one (family of four). We also have an extra bowl. It's been fine, but I hear they don't make 'em like they used to. Ours is 23 years old and probably in need of service.
  3. Well, is he Creole or is he Cajun? In the end, these are most definitely first-world problems, I recognize, despite my statements of protest above.
  4. Many Bothans died to bring this information.
  5. I am part of bed spread.

    I took my now-college-freshman to see Ween in Dallas in 2023. So this hits close to home.

    Just came across this thread. I drove down from Austin my freshman year at UT to go to this show. Good times!
  9. For the past couple of years, we've had an apparent head of party planning, who has started a Thanksgiving lunch before Thanksgiving. Instead of just announcing it, she asked a group of us this year, and we told her that not a single person ever wants to eat Thanksgiving lunch the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Only partially deterred, she found an excuse for us to gather to eat pecan pie the week before Thanksgiving. Happy hour really is a better solution to all of this. There, if you want to eat, you eat; if you want to drink, you can drink; if you want to chill and make small talk, you do you. Or, if you want to skip it all together without having to take time off of work to do so, have at it. But stop forcing us to eat together at 3 p.m. in the middle of the week. Also, your husband's famous grilled turkey is DAF.
  10. Soulhat (1991). Lots of good Austin street view too.
  11. I'm intrigued. What is the general nature of your business that you work with so many cast-offs?
  12. Yeah, I stopped using the pot-bases in my WSM when I realized they only were hindering me from getting to 275 (BBQ Guru holds that just fine). I just put a foil loaf pan on the grill grate and fill it with water. Never had better results. Without the BBQ Guru, they help with temperature swings.
  13. In a pinch, maybe put some terracotta pot bases on top of the pan for a bit more heat sink. That's what I used to do on my WSM with heavy-duty foil over everything to aid in cleanup.

    Woah! Woah! Wait just a damned minute here! Seven-year-old DCBC dissents!
  15. This is a reminder to me to go update all the Thanksgiving recipes. Particularly, the dressing recipe says 2--4 cups of stock. The answer is 3. I also need to answer the yearly query of whether and for how long to cover the pan with foil. These may be the two most important parts of the process, and this year, I'm going to solve the puzzle.
  16. He wanted to see the Bermuda Triangle.
  17. I don't get drippings on the WSM either. But with those oranges in the cavity and using the Franklin method and coating with butter at the end with it wrapped in a pan, you get some buttery turkey goodness in the pan, which I've added to gravy with good results. I still haven't cooked one on my offset. I needed to be able to ignore it (like another oven). Too many sides to tend fire.

    And a bowl-shot over a square of reheated dressing.

    I'm not hungry. But I'm gonna eat. Gonna let it sit and thicken up. Then I'm going to heat up a dressing square and use that instead of rice (rice is available for the remaining unhungry).
  21. It saves a lot of time and effort on Thanksgiving Day
