How about a BellGab/GabCast Round table?

Explain?

[starrmtn001]

Orson Welles's recording of 'War of the Worlds'. Vincent Price's BBC "Price of Fear" stuff. In terms of audio.

"War Of The Worlds"  YES!!!

[GravitySucks]

You haters have it all wrong. They can be tasty and are good for you. Eat your damn vegetables!

At first I thought you were talking about the tasty Canadians

[serenity]

Once i get the day together I'll post the sked. Starr, explain the roundtable pse?

[albrecht]

I will only eat the able tasty Canadians. Not going to touch the vegetables (likely caused from 'hits to head' in hockey but alive due to the amazing socialized medical system.)

[starrmtn001]

Explain?

Never mind.  I like albrecht's ideas much better!

Just use bacon fat...fixes everything.

[albrecht]

"War Of The Worlds"  YES!!!

It was pure genius and still works great. Listen in a darkened room and it still sounds amazing and seems real (though musical tastes and "reporter speak" has changed a bit.) There are lots of other nice OTR horror shows but WOTW is just genius and classic.

Gotta use the American bacon for that fat. The Canadian stuff doesn't seem to have enough of it!

God, I love your posts albrecht!  You're one of BellGab's finest.

We got bear grease too eh.  If in doubt.

Thanks. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but I try.

Yes it is and was my first thought. Trying to find the best recording. Still got a few days to work with. And Canadians are ok if marinated first. Just no clowns, they taste funny

That's the red food dye #2 on the nose.  If you clean them properly and parboil, they are a lot like squirrel.

I do both, kinda. I like to deep fry the turkey. I also make stock from the gizzards; and I make a large pan of stuffing, add the stock and bake for about 30 minutes.

A few times I have cooked two turkeys, oven and deep fryer. That is the best of both worlds.

I want to contribute a Thanksgiving miracle that has worked for us two years in a row. It's from Martha Stewart, but don't let that stop you. This will transform a garden-variety market turkey into something so succulent that every piece of the leftovers is grabbed up.

Turkey 24-hour Transformation
======================

7 quarts (28 cups) water
1 1/2 cups coarse salt
6 bay leaves
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
1 tablespoon dried juniper berries
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon black or brown mustard seeds
1 fresh whole turkey (18 to 20 pounds), 1 bottle dry Riesling
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bunch fresh thyme

Directions:
===========
Be creative: Find a container big enough for the turkey to be completely submerged in the briny substance, which can be varied according to what's in your pantry. Line it with a turkey-basting bag or two ... and after 24 hours ... cook the turkey as usual in the oven.

Ah, the "brine" vs other controversy continues! Almost as divisive as the "stuffing" actually being in the turkey or done separately. This stuff could tear the country apart, worse than any political divide! Personally I like the deep-fry the turkey frozen (kidding, kids. Don't do it. And even when done correctly try to remember your Archimedes! Firemen want to have time with their families also.)

It's really a matter of the kind of family you're planning to feed. The brine method is quiet, determined, foolproof. And most important, fireproof. The family that applauds the deep-fry is either wealthy or handy or rowdy. Know your family.

Down by me most of th Popeye's Chicken places sell fried turkeys for Thanksgiving. Gotta be fried in peanut oil which can be an expensive way to cook one bird.

Thanks Nancy... Printed for Mrs. Crow... she asked with one eye brow raised, "you got this off of BellGab???"... World Collide... I replied... " its from Martha Sterward, should be OK"

She thought it looked interesting and may give it a try...

i used a garbage bag and a cooler. i measured how much water to cover said bird then reduced that by 1/2. last time it was 2 gallons. i brought 1 gallon to boil , added salt. dissolved said salt. added the remaining water as ice. (a pints a pound the world around, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon) added spices, then poured over said turkee, put in cold place for 24 hours. cooked as usual.
note:
you can wash then refill old plastic water,soda bottles with water and freeze. add frozen bottles to turkee brine to keep it cold.

Yes! I bought a plastic container from Staples and lined it with garbage bags, and then the turkey basting bags because I was worried about vinegar/wine reacting with plastic. Didn't matter.

Last year I put the whole thing outside here in the northeast and put a log on top to keep out any clever mammals.

The raccoons in my area would see the plastic as "gift" wrap.
