do y'all start making some of the stuff for tomorrow tonight? or everything tomorrow? mac and cheese is the only thing im responsible for but feel like i should at least prep some of it tonight so i can be done before kickoff tomorrow

Tonight.

Since covid im trying my first turkey tonight lol.

I was banking on Boston Market but they've all been shut down, then I tried the desperate heave at the buzzer for a Popeyes turkey but they're all sold out!

Got the bird yesterday now I gotta find a recipe and go shopping and get it started this evening

 

[kingkoopa]

Check the number of Turkey related accidents that happen each and every year.

MANY uninformed folks attempt things above their pay scale.

No disrespect but if you got your turkey YESTERDAY, there is no way it will be thawed out by tomorrow.

Unless it ISN'T frozen.

Its been out since yesterday morning.

The receipt said a mostly thawed bird can go in the brine tonight and be ready by mid morning......




JAMELE!

If you are brining it cool.

Also, be careful with letting poultry thaw out in room temperature air.

Bad for business.

"I have done it before and nothing has happened to me." Is something I'm sure many would say.



Perishable foods should never be thawed on the counter or in hot water and must not be left at room temperature for more than two hours.

Yep. A bunch of people start fires every year trying to fry turkeys. Like clock work. It’s become almost as much of a Thanksgiving tradition as the Macy’s Parade or NFL football:

or they overfill the fryer and the oil drops down onto the burner and ignites the whole thing
