50 Shades of Gravy

50 Shades of Gravy

The trickiest and most overlooked part of Thanksgiving is…the gravy. A well done sauce will be much appreciated and enhance both the Turkey and sides.

The Turkey Virgin

The Turkey Virgin

For the past 2 years certain people have begged me to smoke turkey for the company holiday dinner, but the smoker I had at the time was too small to accommodate the poultry needs they were asking for. This year, they came armed with the knowledge that I have a significantly larger smoker (I believe they obtained said knowledge from this very website) and asked me yet again if I would cook the bird. They had an ace up their sleeves… They changed the party to a Monday to ensure I could smoke all day Sunday! Sneaky little bastards…

I Made A Flippin’ Pot Roast

Once upon a time I was asked to cook a pot roast for my family. I was shocked at said request because I hate cooking, I hate talking about it, I hate doing it, why cook when you can have someone else do it for you? Besides… I didn’t even know what animal a pot roast came from. To me a pot roast took me back to high school and college… and a pipe and a lighter was all that was necessary for our pot roasts.
