Weeeee! let the games begin!!

The Stuff Fluffielady's Dreams are made of.. Complete with the *Slirrrp*

i find it funny that of all nights to wake me up at 5am, the smoke detector had to beep it's brains out today. Went to nod off and at 8:30am the games began. Pulled out the brined turkey from its overnight soaking and got it ready to rock n roll.
Yesterday i headed to bed, bath n beyond and went hunting for one of those nifty digital thermometer / timer. When i arrived at bed bath n beyond, there was quite a long line at the Honeybaked store, it stretched past the now defunct Magnolia Hi-Fi!
Anyhow, we decided to use one of those heat resistant oven bags. Well cooking a 16 pounder was pretty fast, the alarm went on at 161 degrees at the thigh but something was weird. There wasn't much coloring, it wasn't that super golden brown. We didn't know if it was funky digital electronics (which seems to be my case, things never work exact to how i expect or want it to be) but we cooked it a bit more, another 30min. I think the coloring lied to us and the digital probe was spot on, because it was semi-dry on the top parts but still very moist on the rest. It's an evolution of sorts and next time, no bag, i think the bag steamed the turkey more than anything.
After, all the rest of the goods were made, a rib eye roast was added into the mix along with all the usual accoutrements. The rest of the familia came over and it was all good. Jennys pumkin pie was yum and it vanished quickstyle.
That concluded the noontime thanksgiving. Now for the thanksgiving dinner with Jerry-o:

Jordan N Jerry
Jerry n Vicky came up from LaLaLand with their newborn Juliana, shes cute n soo sleepyheaded, sounds like shes got that from jerry's side. Hung out with some old school buddies n chit chatted around. Jerry's spread involved half a cow, a pig, an armada of shrimp, and some steamed veggies. yumz, jordan had to sleep early and get ready for black friday at best buy at 4am, woo!

Talk about foodz, i predicted yesterday that theres gonna be a whole lotta foodage coming this weekend.
