My son and i were down with a GI bug yesterday but other than having some immodium in the system I'm feeling basically normal (for me
@"J" ) today.
My FIL had a large vascular surgery yesterdayand not sure when he's gonna get home from that.
MIL is having 20-30 people over (scheduled prior to the surgery moving up and she didn't want to cancel) so I'm picking up more of the cooking.
I wanted to deep fry a turkey but got vetoed.
So I'm spatchcocking one and roasting it on the grill/ smoker at about 425°. It'll get drybrined today along with baking powder. The other one will get injected with garlic herbs marinade and dry brined with something similar this afternoon.
Gonna start on the gallon of gravy the MIL requested tonight along with my variant of dressing.
My youngest brought home a kids cookbook with the idea he and i could make something so i told him to pick out a dessert and we'd do it.
It'll be fun, stressful but fun and should be good food.
Regardless, I’ll see her next week while I’m up for gun season…. Then they’ll be down for Xmas as well….
Cigar? (or maybe just veto him)
