Santa arrived at our front door a little while ago. He was wearing a
blue uniform instead of his usual red outfit, and drove a square white
truck instead of his usual sleigh. He's working undercover because it
isn't Christmas yet. He had a foodie gift for us.

A Ronco Showtime Platinum Rotisserie! This puppy will hold up to a 15
pound turkey. The pictures on the box have been making me drool. Very
unlady-like.

We bought three 11-pound turkeys when they were on sale last month,
and one is already in the refrigerator, thawing.

Thanks! This should be a lot of fun! I didn't notice a Boy Scouts
manual in the packaging, but I'll look again. :-)

That's a great present. I saw one at Costco & decided to wait or tell
the kids that is what I wanted & they sold 'em out faster than condoms
at a hooker convention. Boy was I disappointed.

I want to know exactly how wonderful it is.

We should be doing the turkey on Thursday or Friday, and I'll keep ya
posted. I hope you can get your hands on one. This looks great!

The oddest, yet neat all the same, trick I ever saw was a bunch of boy
scout leaders cooking a couple turkey in a metal trash can. They put the
turkey on the in the fire pit, then turned the can over on top and
banked the edges and "top" (bottom of can) with coals like a big dutch
oven. It's been a few years so I might have forgotten a step or two but
it was.. industrious and memorable?

huzzah! christmas has been arriving all month for me. The only food related
gifts I've gotten so far are cheese books, though a little bird tells me there
is a bread machine in my future**


** of course that little bird is my dad because he didn't know what to get me
so he asked my sister and she asked me and I told her then he called me to
make sure he got the right one.

Very cool.

Have fun with the new toy.

With the 2nd bird - try brining.

We certainly intend to!

The turkeys we got have had their moisture enhanced by up to 8%
solution, consisting of turkey broth, salt, and spices. Would brining
be a good idea?

I have brined that type of bird before with an "apple" brine. I like the
sweetness it imparts. This last Turkey day I brined a butterball even though it
was not necessary.

Must be a teenage boy then.
