I flew home last night and will be on "vacation" until Monday. Then we have a week until launch. What will you guys be doing?

It''s where I work. So you better believe I''ll be spending Thursday as far as possible from Naptown. Dunno what will be open on Thursday. Fear the mall on Friday.

A buddy of mine bought a deep fryer, so we''ll be up to asses in oil tomorrow trying to fry a turkey. I''ve heard it''s the best turkey you''ll ever have, as long as you don''t burn your neighborhood down.

Any fryers out there with some tips?

Mmmmmmm....arson turkey......

I started my own blog so when I feel the need to make an ass out of myself, I won't have as far to go.

I thought frying was a bit tricky when I did it last year. Needless to say I messed up some turkey legs. (luckily not a whole bird but legs like the ones they serve at theme parks) I wish I had tips for you but I would just mess you up

I''m not a fan of fried turkey. I like it brined, roasted with mp and gravy.

Eating and football. Fried turkey just sounds weird, but I keep hearing how great it is.

Ulairi, Annapolis has a big mall and a lot of bars, depending on your company take your pick.

Just get the oil nice and hot and wait to drink heavily until after you''re done frying.

Also, make sure you eat it in one sitting. Deep fried turkey is awesome the 1st time around, but the leftovers are kinda gross.

Well, now I''m worried because the turkey we bought is 18 lbs. and they don''t recommend doing one over 15 lbs. It should be fun trying to stuff that fat bird into the fryer.

Thanks for the heads up on the leftovers hubbins.

Annapolis? Definitely the waterfront. Chick and Ruth''s deli for
breakfast Friday, if you can. Is the Academy waterfront
still open for strolling?

I agree with you Gnome, it does sound wierd. I was very reticent to try it. But having been at a house where it was served, I gave it a try, and man if it isn''t the most awesome tasting turkey! Take the plunge! Not literally, of course, ''cause that oil is damn hot...

Bah!

Just got back after a long day of working for the man...well, WO-man. My Fiance had me using my day off for running errands as I am going to be hosting her parents and my parents for our first holiday meal as a (future) family.

We have this tiny apartment, and we have her mom and dad, plus sister and boyfriend, along with my mom and dad, plus my sis, husband, and two kids (2 and 3)....So, needless to say, cooking will take up my whole day. Along with being on call for work...

Visiting my Dad on Thirsday to return late Thursday night. Then I''m on vacation until Dec. 8th! I''ll do some Dark Age of Camelot, Links on the X-Box (awesome!), Lock ON: MAC, Need for Speed, Project Gotham 2, XIII and a few others. 12 days of vacation sounds so sweet...
