im in heaven

so, i bought a membership to sam's club. and i spent a bunch of money
there my first time. but one thing was special. a 24 quart stainless
steel stock pot. my new beer/mead brewing kettle. beats all hell
over the shitty enameled 20 qt pot ive been using. has a thick
interior clad aluminum base. boils like a mofo. awesome. and i just
broke it in on a batch of 18 pound honey, cinnamon, 5 gallon mix. so,
so, so much better than the enameled pot.

im in love, i tell you.

I hear there's a hops shortage due to microbreweries and people like you.

Guess people will have to start using pot in beer, and make good old
"bhang".

I have never had a deep fried turkey. Are they as juicy as I have been told?

Have you ever had a turducken?

Not to point out the obvious or anything, but last time I checked, you
don't clam *BAKE* in a pot.

While deep frying turkey is a nice way to cook a turkey, wonderful
meat, juicy & a really crispy skin. However, YOU CANNOT STUFF THE
BIRD. What is wrong with people. Stuffing is NOT STUFFING unless if
comes from inside the bird after cooking.
NOT STUFFED == NOT STUFFING.

Turkey without stuffing is WRONG.

It IS everything that goes into the clam bake (minus the sand) only it goes
into a pot. You say toMAto and I say tomaTO. P

I agree 100%.

One year Mom read somewhere that stuffing the bird was not a good thing so
she made the stuffing separate from the turkey. We put up such a fuss that
the following year that stuffing was back in that old bird where it
belonged.

As kids we would fight over that bit of crusty stuffing falling from the
birdies cavity. Good eats.

juiciest birds in the world. honest. and 3-4 minutes per pound. way
better than baked or even smoked, though smoked is a definite
improvement over baked. not cheap, though, as peanut oil aint cheap
anymore. i usually cajun spice inject them every quarter inch or so
the night before, and then wrap em in foil and put em in a big cooler
with some ice, turning them every few hours. onion juice, garlic
juice, fine ground cayenne pepper, and fine ground tony chacheres are
usually in the injection juice. a mortar and pestle are mandatory, as
the injection needle gets clogged fast if things arent ground fine
enough. due to the price of the oil, it usually only makes sense to
do three 15lb birds or more so as to maximize the use of the oil.

heavenly, i tell you. damn things get seared within 30 seconds in the
oil so as to lock in the juices and lock out the oil. mmmm MMMMmmmm.

its a great party food, everyone chipping in a few bucks for the
ingredients.

I have started using more olive oil and peanut oil. I just like the taste
better. We are going to be doing some beer battered catfish this weekend.
I am going to have to try one of them fried turkeys. I do like cajuny
flavored food.

It is a boneless chicken stuffed inside a boneless duck whic is stuffed
inside of a boneless turkey (that has been slathered with cornbread
stuffing. The meats are injected with flavorings. I din't think I would like
the duck, but it was quite good together.
