The Most Important Topic This Week!!!

Recommended Posts

 I'm just a fan of the whole shebang. Favorite part of the turkey is the leg and my wife and I pretty much perfected cooking the whole thing a few years ago pretty much using just olive oil and salt rubbed over and under the skin and only salt in the cavity. No need to baste it or add anything extra in it. We tried a lot of different methods including deep frying, smoking, using a brine, all kinds of aromatics, you name it, we tried it and the simplest turned out to be the favorite for everyone (we usually end up with 15-20 people for the meal) . Throw it in a roasting pan, make a tin foil tent around it that you keep on until the last 5-10 minutes then take it off to get the skin just a little crispy.

We always have two batches of stuffing, one with giblets and one without (I like with, my wife likes without). 

We always have to have mashed potatoes and gravy (made from the turkey drippings of course), green bean casserole (probably the most underrated part of the meal), sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top....but my MVP is the deviled eggs. I don't know what my wife does to them, but she perfected those as well.

Gahhhh......I can't wait.

I'm making my own dinner this year. What am I missing?

Cornish Hens, Mac n Cheese, Mashed spuds & sweet potato casserole, Green bean casserole, Stuffin, Cranberry sauce (from can), maybe some friend chicken

We switched to Cornish hens a few years ago.  Great choice

It’s the best holiday, hands down. 

Ya, I always do two gravies. Double stocked(super light neck and aromatic stock cooked on the stove and the pan juices combined). One plain and the masterpiece with all the giblets.

For me, it is Cranberry Salsa.  

Cranberry Salsa is the CMC of Thanksgiving.  Just having it on the plate makes everything surrounding it better.  Kind of like a good horseradish next to the Prime Rib at Christmas (although Yorkshire Pudding steals the spotlight there!).  To continue the analogy, cranberry sauce from the can is kind of like whoever we plug in at LT.

In the recipe, I usually use more jalapeno, a little less cilantro and honey instead of white sugar.  And definitely fresh cranberries, not frozen.  

Have to make it day before and sit in the fridge overnight.

    • If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment. 
    • I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
