Updates soon to follow, on my honor. ;)

Any updates on this?

So this is my home brew turkey recipe, a change from the usuall traditional stuff and the deep fried stuff. Originally called it the Lindsey Lohan Turkey because of the fact that it's absolutely doused in alcohol and spreads it's legs the moment you show it any attention... but I realized that it could be any drunken celebrity slut...

any way

1 medium to large turkey
1 pack of bacon
oranges, apples, onions, fennel, carrots and celery (chopped up to shove into the bird's cavity)

The liquid
1 medium bottle of Makers Mark
1 medium bottle of PURE maple syrup (The good stuff)
3 cinnamon stick
Cloves, nutmeg and star anise to taste
2 stick of butter
1/2 cup of Brown sugar

The brine
Salt...lots of it when you think you have enough add more
Ginger, pepper to taste
Sugar
1/2 a bottle of red wine

Mix ingredient for the brine in a large container that the turkey will fit in and you can still put water in it. Put the bird in and add ice for a controlled thaw.

Mix ingredient for The Liquid in a large pan and cook until all the alcohol has burned off.

once the turkey is thawed pull out of brine if you're ready to bake (leave in if not) and discard the brine there's no saving it so don't even try just dump it.

Pat the turkey dry and place it in a deep wide pan that will accommodate The Liquid and the fat that will come from the bird. Stuff the fruits and veg and additional ginger (if desired) into the bird cavity. layer the bacon over the turkey breast (Or lattice weave it if you're fancy and want to show off)

Cook the bird until dry, basting it with The Liquid every 30-45 minutes.

The bird will be very moist and tender and it's legs will spread the moment you remove it from the pan.

I'm super jealous! Where did you get those

I got most of them online at the Ornament Factory Store. They have a huge collection of the Hallmark Star Trek ornaments!

Seriously pretty epic folks. I don't celebrate anything this time of year so I never do anything like that but it still looks pretty awesome.

If nothing else, celebrate not having to go to work! :D

Silly Westerners and their twinkling lights...just wait 'till the Lunar New Year...I'll show you lights...

I can't do RP any time before 6pm EST except for on Wednesday and Thursdays so anytime after 6pm Fri-Tues would work for me.

Really? I thought that was someone from another fleet. Maybe I clicked on the wrong toon for the ID.

I provided the balloons with the party popper! Was nice to be part of the parade :)

I tend to suck at ship building, so I was looking for some ideas here. I tend to like to have a support roll and healing the teams. I would really enjoy some ideas. Thanks :D

I still really want to join. Once the Schedule is nailed down I will see if I can fit it in :)

It's not the schedule that's the problem for me, it's that I've been swamped in grad-school applications, and I also for some reason thought we weren't doing it anymore (I guess because I hadn't noticed any recaps on the boards in a while). My schedule will be lightening considerably soon, so I hope to jump back in.

Then this year I think you should invest in a lovely tree and decorate it and show it off to us all! :)

I haven't had a christmas tree since I was little, before I was even aware there wasn't a Santa, because my dad got too lazy to bring the tree down from the attic.

My father's laziness would be legendary, well... if he weren't so lazy.

Once I moved out of their house, I bought a tiny little house and had a tiny little tree, but my ex took it when we split and I never bought a replacement.

Glad it was a success! Sorry I couldn't join in. :)

I would prefer saturday or sunday, about 2 pm or 3 pm EST (or earlier).
3 pm EST would be 9 pm for me, so later then that I can not join (on sundays at least, saturdays I don't mind if it's later).
