Happy Happy Joy Joy

We've done it a couple times. Turned out good! We brined it in salt water over night and then injected it with garlic butter. It was tasty!

Replied to wrong post - obviously, but still happy, happy, joy, joy with the deep fried turkey!!

Thanks for the idea. My ex is actually smoking the turkey then into the deep fryer. I gotta admit, I bought a ham in case he blows the turkey up.

Some are less "treasured" than others, and tend to find themselves at the back of the tree.

Has anyone ever had deep fried turkey?

no, just roasted here.

Interestingly, Mexicans prefer to eat their turkey during Christmas dinner.
Thanksgiving just doesn't exist for us. (but then, we have an extra holiday for the "3 wise kings" to balance it out )

I'm particularly fond of the glass and metal snow stars (third photo, next to santa)

They usually blow up because they are still frozen or have way too much moisture in them. Since he's smoking it, you should be in good shape. Just make sure you have plenty of propane. You don't want to run out of gas half way through it and have to toss the bird out...

Lights are done! And the first 4 ornaments are hung.
Later Peeps - like noon, later.

We had that wonderful event called an elementary school dance this evening. I now shall go take three ibuprofen. Nothing like 300 kids singing Let It Go at the top of their lungs.

This was a pre-lit tree. $400 - so not a cheapie.
Year 1 - one string burnt out.
Year 2 - one more string was burnt out when I set it up, so I bought a few loose strings and just over-thread them. Before Christmas day, another string burnt out.

Last year, I cut out all the pre-strung (mostly euchred lights at this point), and bought all new lights.
This year, I decided to zip-tie these new lights permanently in place. Won't know until next year if it actually was worth the effort.

This was my third pre-lit tree. First one was great. Second one was garbage, so I decided to buy a pricier model, which turned out to also be garbage. Luck of the draw, I guess.

Ahh, that is horrible. I have only used mine once and now I am worried.
