Hey gang, hope the holidays have been going well for y'all! Christmas was rather good on this end. I wound up with some Star Wars, some LEGO sets (Christmas is NEVER complete for me without Star Wars and LEGO no matter how old I get), some clothing, my mini dachshund Tammy received a bunch of toys. And one way or another a lot of new cooking stuff came into my possession.

That's the first turkey I've been able to deep-fry since Christmas 2013! Between my father passing away just before the following Thanksgiving, journeying across America and to a new hometown, getting situated in a house etc. it just wasn't practical all this time.
And speaking of cooking, steer your peepers onto this bad boy:

But Christmas Eve 2019 was a glorious return to feeding my irrational addiction to fried turkey. I got a shiny new rig and it was screaming to be inaugurated. A baptism of fire, so to speak...
Sixteen-pounds of turkey, mega-marinaded with garlic butter and slathered in Cajun rub. 45 minutes in the hot oil and out came a juicy, tender, succulent Christmas Eve feast for friends and family.
My friends, I truly have a home of my own now. A house is not a home without a turkey fryer :-)
