    You know what would really help you go to sleep? Just a whole mess of turkey.

    Wait. That's not helping, is it?

    Is a dry brine the same thing as a rub?

  • BucketmanBucketman Call me SkraggRegistered User regular
    I think its like a rub with really high salt content?

    Maybe it's a southern thing? But growing up the idea of having a Thanksgiving without mac and cheese would have been the ravings of a mad man.

    I have never had mac and cheese for thanksgiving, ever.

    Turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, perogies, kielbasa, cabbage rolls, salad, vegetables, that's the standards for my family. Though... we're Ukrainian-Canadian, so that may explain some things

    Oh, and mashed potatoes, too.

    my family does mac and cheese, mostly just due to popular demand

    this year I'm doing a nice baked mac and cheese instead of buying the usually bowls of bob evans mac from the grocery store

    I have a truly amazing recipe for mac and cheese. The box stuff is garbage though.

    There's also a craft brewpub here in Singapore that has a mac and cheese with egg yolk and char siew that I would literally fight someone over.

    Egg yolk makes anything better. I've yet to find an example that doesn't work with.

    made the mistake of eating like a jerk yesterday, while staying up to read.
    Body has been in complete rebellion today.
    I should probably skip the 5 hour trip for thanksgiving tomorrow.

    Pumpkin pies are made.

    But my turkey does not really seem to be defrosting at all....

    Throw it in the brine bucket and leave it in the kitchen, just check the temp every once in a while to make sure it's not above 40f

    You can brine and defrost at the same time.

    I do dry brine, but I would not be above tossing it in a bucketful of white wine.

    Oh, god. I don't want to drive four hours in the rain starting midafternoon. Didn't I hear that we were supposed to be getting a hyperloop between Amarillo and OKC? Is that up and running yet?

    Oh my god I completely forgot the stuffing recipe I use is a web of deceit

    It says 30 minutes of active prep which is a LIE. It’s at least 90 minutes. It advises roasting 2 pounds of mushrooms at 500 degrees until they’re dry for 20 minutes which is also a LIE. There is no dimension where you can sweat that many mushrooms that fast. You blend shallots and herbs and butter together to season bread cubes, which releases a cloud of onion-eye-hurting juice when you open the blender

    It produces a really, really good dish but goddamn the recipe SUCKS

    We've made so much great food for Thanksgiving at our friend's place with high quality frito pie, home made cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and a Nantucket cranberry pie. Meanwhile they're smoking a turkey and going all in on top notch mashed potatoes and stuffing.

    Of course, I've been sick since yesterday and won't be able to go. So I'm sending a picture of myself taped to a popsicle stick for the kids and my wife's bringing back a plate and a couple tupperware tubs full of food.

    My wife and I have been eating a lot lower carb lately.

    The stuffing this year is a recipe she found made with cauliflower and holy fuck it is good.

    Cauliflower is the fucking urvegetable, and I should put it in more things.

    Edit: slapdashed two kinda of mashed potatoes (with the slightly undercooked chunks in ‘em like I like) and did the cranberry sauce and took the turkey out of the fridge because the damn thing steadfastly refuses to thaw and I need it thawed by tomorrow so I can brine the motherfucker. Only the stuffing and creamed corn remain, plus a last minute pumpkin soup I decided to use the remaining pumpkins from the pumpkin pie for. Stuffing will be Sunday after the turkey, corn, soup on Saturday plus gonna grab a Costco salad and a few other things.

    My turkey just needs to rest now. Must be patient.

    Getting texts from the family suggesting that I was supposed to be there for lunch today.

    Motherfuckers, scroll up like ten messages and you will see that we all agreed that Thanksgiving was tomorrow. We didn't even know whether Amarillo was going to be an icy hell or not until about an hour ago, I will be there for dinner with fresh bread and you will like it.

    Jose Andres is doing good things for this world. Bless him and his team.

    Right

    Nantucket cranberry pie? I am most curious.

    Also, cauliflower stuffing?
    Recipe please!

    Just put my turkey in the smoker about 45 minutes ago. It is a perfect day for smoking, cool, wind free and sunny. I just got a Thermoworks Dot, a single leave in probe. I'm excited not to have to check the turkey, just watch the temperature rise until it's spot on.

    Next year though I'm getting a Signals (4 probes) and a billows attachment, which automatically regulates airflow for precise temperature management. God I love smoking food.
