I injected a turkey with some Cajun marinade and smoked it. It turned out amazing. I’ve never smoked a turkey before.

Anybody else try anything new for the holidays?

Cooked a 13lb, 6-rib standing rib. Rubbed with a mix of fresh crushed garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil. It turned out quite tasty.

Christmas Eve we had a traditional German dinner of Weisswurst, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and green beans. Good stuff... Thanks Mom! 

Christmas day was turkey and all the fixings! Surprised we didn't have to pump the septic tank...

Nor have I.  Guess one would need some pretty big rolling papers, huh?  Seriously, sounds good!

That looks really good.  I want to try making one if those.  Is the meat tender?

I have been wanting a deep fried turkey ever since I first heard of them. Maybe next year…

Deep fried Turkey is awesome. We have them several times a year.

It was very tender. Cooked for about 3 hours. There were 9 of us and we polished off about 3/5 of the roast.

Our family decided this year not to have a Christmas Dinner but instead we had a Christmas Country Breakfast since the kids are all up wanting to do the Santa thingy. Eggs both fried and scrambled, Bacon, sausage and Country Ham,  big bowls of Home fries, homemade biscuits, red eye and Sawmill gravy and coffee. I ate way to much.....LOL. I brought enough home with me to have it for dinner last evening.

Dad fixed his nearly world famous shrimp and grits.  His recipe is unique.  I really like shrimp and grits and try it when restaurants offer it, but I've never had it like he makes it. He added scallops to it because my older boy loves them.

Find someone who has fryer and the oil.  Neither are cheap for a one-off.

This is the truth.  Fried Turkey is delicious, easy to make, and expensive.

You’ll need at least $30 worth of oil...and that’s for a peanut oil blend.  Pure peanut costs a lot more if you can find it.  That’s what’s used since it has a low flash point.

Then you’ve got the frier.  Nothing but a great big massive pot on a stand.  Maybe $40.  And a propane tank.

Once all that is assembled you have to be more than careful not to burn the house down or send yourself to the hospital.  😀

It is worth it though.
