Off to my sons house on Sunday. He's cooking two turkeys, one outside in the deep fryer and one in the oven. Along with stuffing, mixed vegetables, creamy mashed potato’s, and GRAVY For my part I'm bringing a smoked ham, sweet potato casserole and fresh buns. I'm really hoping his mother in-law will bring bread pudding..I love that stuff

3/4`s of the way through laying flooring though the whole house, ripping out all the old carpet and painting all the walls and ceilings. I`m not even sure where the stove is right now.Chinese take out tonight I think.

It's always been turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Ham for Easter.

Same with our families, but for a few years now we have had turkey for all three of these important dates in our year.

Turkey dinner with all the fixings for two boys and family Sunday before oldest son flies out to Toronto at 6 AM (yes I got talked into taking him to airport) to promote his new book at Canadian Music week.
Daughter flies in from Vancouver Tuesday so sure we will have leftover turkey hot and cold sandwiches with cranberries. Eventually soup as turkey is my favorite for soup base.

A whole lot tastier than turkey or ham.

Whiskey brown sugar pork tenderloin with cheesy scalloped potatoes peas and carrots and salads and hopefully all the family to visit. Happy Easter

Here's the teaser gang.

The ham drip dying after the brine.


The ham an hour into smoking.


The turkey is out of the brine, and in the cheese cloth waiting for its turn in the smoker, which should start around bed time this evening.

Roast turkey thigh on rye with havarti cheese, tomato, and mayo. Blueberry/strawberry smoothie for dessert.

bb356 where are you... we all want to know what you had.

Almost had a train wreck last night.
The element burnt out in the Bradley smoker for some un godly reason.
Tried getting the bird going around 11pm, and the bloody smoker wouldn't come up in temperature!

Took the multi meter to it. I've got voltage to where it's supposed to be, but zero continuity accross the heating element. If you cruise the interweb this is a fairly common failure.
So I gave the bird coldish smoke (115F) till around 4Am, then I fired the bird in the oven.

I'm gonna be buying a couple of heating elements for the smoker, always keeping a spare on hand. There's reports of higher wattage ones as well, which are supposedly great in our climate.

Well now...that sucks. Good thing you caught it when you did. Let me know what you find out about the replacement elements. Ya know I ain’t gonna find a replacement anywhere near me !!
