This just in!

My parents desparately want me to be popular and they were blown away by how nice everyone in the improv community was to them and how evryone took a moment to chat and how ColdTowne even held the show a bit for them. To those ends, they got me a gift card for a Thanksgiving Day main course at HEB. I need to order Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If you are coming, do you prefer a more traditional Turkey or a heavenly Ham? I think they have both cajun and regular turkey, too. So, what do people want?

For more Thanksgiving Day info, see Thanksgiving Day followup - who's bringing what? and more!

Contests follow-up and directions coming soon!

Def. Turkey. Fried turkey is really really good. If that's what Cajun means, then do that.

Fried turkey is heavenly! Oven roasted is pretty good too. My italian stuffed mushrooms taste much better with a turkey dinner....

Cajun turkey, especially if it talks like Paul Prud'homme.

jastroch, we're in f-ing texas, H-E-B does NOT fry turkeys. i'm sure cajun means it's got red pepper and salt rubbed on it.

sigh.

HOWEVER, my neighbor has a turkey fry machine...if we are hell bent on fried turk, i can get a smaller one and do that thing up.

it's a turkey deep fried in peanut oil and injected with "cajun" spices.

Take big turkey frying thing, fillit with peanut oil, slowly (Christ, that's important...) lower turkey into cauldrun of hot oil. Oil cooks turkey, turkey skin keeps oil out of turkey. The result is delicious, most turkey...or so I've heard.

my vote is fried turkey.

I'll probably be there Wes. And I'll bring something not American or traditional because that's all I cook.
