The deep fried turkey was a hit.
While it took longer that the suggested time ( I use a remote thermometer and cook by temp )
It was juicy and tender.

We had some difficulties with the other turkeys. My sister's oven shut off and we did not notice for about an hour....No harm no foul. But my Turkey roaster shit the bed mid cook and we had to put that bird in oven,,,,,,,,,,,,,it was not cooked till nine at night.

All in all the fried turkey took about 45 minutes I will do 2 maybe 3 of them next year.

Going to work down state and have booked in a place with a full kitchen so the fryer is coming

I am going to try a few different things this trip like deep fried hot dogs and I want to perfect a deep fries hamburger.

However I get in Sunday eve so I am thinking meatloaf with fries and gravey

I've been on a Chicken Salad sandwich kick lately. It took me many years to discover mayonnaise, as that was something I never tasted growing up. I believe my parents never had it while they were kids so it just wasn't on their shopping list.

Anyway, whenever I'm cooking chicken for dinner I try to have a bit extra for leftovers. I have used KFC, Swiss Chalet, and supermarket barbecue chicken leftovers as well, and, if I don't have quite enough leftover, I buy these big cans of white meat chicken from Costco to supplement.

Chop up any combination, or all three of raw pepper (I prefer orange), red onion and/or celery into tiny cubes. The quantity will depend on how much chicken you are using, but you can never have too much veggie in a chicken salad, in my opinion. Mix in a large bowl with the finely chopped chicken. Spoon in mayonnaise and stir until everything sticks together. Salt and pepper to taste.

Spread on fresh bread or a bun and enjoy!

Never made it

Never made it

I used to work for a perogy house where they made it from scratch but can't remember her recipe. I've known the expression 'cheap like borscht' since I was a kid.

I paid $5 for a head of cabbage last week! $5!! for cabbage!! :shout:

Pizza on a BBQ people.

You have to try it. BBQ the pizza dough first then apply toppings towards the end. And for a bigger kick try a desert pizza. Again, BBQ the pizza dough. Remove from grill and bring indoors and apply nutella and strawberries. Cut and serve.

[h=3]Hemingway Hamburgers[/h]Posted on August 15, 2014 by leoatlarge
Ernest Hemingway’s hamburger recipe has been bouncing between food blogs for close to a year ever since its discovery among his papers housed at the JFK presidential library. Upon reading the posts they fall in one of two categories. First, the all-too-common 200 word thought turd beginning with vague but effusive praise of the author and a transcription of the recipe that is quite legible in its original form.

This one is simply awesome if you have a sweet tooth.


This honey baklava is flaky, crisp and tender and I love that it isn’t overly sweet. It’s basically a party in your mouth. I am a huge fan of baklava and this is the BEST baklava recipe I have ever tried. Hands down. You will love the hint of mellow lemony flavor which offsets the sweetness and compliments the cinnamon. It’s truly delicious. Store-bought baklava has nothing on this and trust me, I’ve been around the block when shopping for baklava!

Any baklava is a little tedious to make, but I’ve shared all of my best tips and advise to ensure you are successful in making yours. You will love that this recipe can be made several days in advance of your shindig and keeps beautifully at room temperature for at least a week.
