Thanksgiving

My wife and I hosted her family at our home again this year for Thanksgiving. In my usual bout of insanity, I decided to make three (3!) types of stuffing, on top of 15 pounds of mashed potatoes and a 24 pound turkey. But you know what? I loved being in the kitchen all day! Maybe the beer smoothed out the rough edges, who knows. -- Drew

15 pounds of mashed potatoes and LOTS of butter

Showing my boys the 24 lb bird

Seasoned and ready to go after the brine

The final result. Why do they seem to take MUCH less
time than they say they will?! 3.5 hrs vs. 5 ??
