Yes but after Thanksgiving (we did a normal oven turkey and a deep fried
turkey) and Christmas (just a small oven turkey), I'm not all that
interested in turkey right now. Besides, I'm not really fond of smoked
meats.

Yeah, I can relate to that. The way beef prices have skyrocketed we haven't
had steak in quite a while. Which doesn't bother me too much. I'd rather
eat chicken or pork myself. The Wife, OTOH, wants beef. so it's been a long
struggle when dinner time rolls around. I think I'm going to buy a half a
cow this year so we can a great price and a much better quality as well.

Well, it won't be just the wife and I. There will be seven of us it is not
as much food as you think.

I'm going to try all the recipes that have been posted and see which one we
like best. I'll make that one for Easter. I've learned to not experiment
with a new recipe on holidays. On holidays, the only place open is a gas
station so if something goes wrong, we're screwed. That hurts, btw!

Thanks for the support and recipes!
