I don't see a calibration button on mine, I guess it came pre-calibrated (never mind, just watched the video). The wife did clean it the other day.

I'm bringing the dressing again this year, already bought a couple of bags of the Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix. Going to add celery, onion, Italian sausage. I pulled up some recipes yesterday and a lot of them had adding apple. If I remember correctly, CP was not big on apple in the dressing?

I spatchcocked mine and was very happy with the results.

If you make the simon and garfunkel spice, be sure the bay leaves get blended small because they don't soften up much.

Will do, although I think I've got my own spice I'm gonna use. I'm gonna try the gravy though for sure

Chinese places are almost the only open places in some areas

Yeah, no offense, Buzz. But **** apples

None taken, I have never had it with apples, seamed to me it would go well with the sausage. What is it you don't care for, is it the taste or the texture? The reason I ask is one guy shredded the apple because he didn't care for the soggy apple texture and buried it in the dish.

Actually, I was just ****ing around. However, it would be the texture I'd have a problem with in the stuffing. I believe you're right when you mention the apple flavor going well with the sausage. If you do it like the fella that shredded it, it would probably be pretty good.

Tonight I'll be making as much turkey stock as will fit in my 12-quart stock pot. Will probably crank out the cranberry sauce, too. Wife will make pumpkin pie.

Lucked out and am going to my brother in-laws (wait, did I just say I lucked out?!?!) Anyhoo, they insisted on something home made. I'm making spinach cheese puffs and the Mrs is making a desert of some sort to bring.

Since they don't drink, I'm also planning on being wasted before I go. Should be loads of fun...

We eat Chinese food every Christmas day. All our family does Christmas on Christmas eve together. So we get up open presents chill then go eat Chinese. Just us and our kids

I finally talked the owner of a local meat distribution wholesaler into selling to me direct which saves me a ton of money. I decided to take advantage of my new found luck and get a 19 pound Prime Rib so that's what I'm rolling with this year.

I told him I would see him around New Years for another one and a box of king crab.

Thanksgiving Meal prep
 

The turkey stock I started some 18 hours ago is done and in the fridge, and it smells in. cred. i. ble.
