I am going to chill. Between the bricks I layed(shown on a previous post), fixing fences, puting up ceiling fans and motion detectors, finalizing yard work for the winter, trimming bushes, and washing and waxing cars, I think I am finished with the gotta does, and honey does. My wife and son are driving thru College Station, TX to pick up my other son at Texas A&M and driving to Houston for the holidays. Since my inlaws are full blooded cajun, we are going the have deep fried turkey with the rest of the clan, then do our usual going to the movies on Thanksgiving in the afternoon and will probably see James Bond. We have been watching movies for the last 25 years every Thanksgiving so there is no need to break tradition now.

If you guys have never heard of deep fried Cajun turkey, you need to try it once and you will never go back. First off, guys get to do the cooking and it only takes 45 minutes tops instead of the usual 3-4 hours. The cooking is done outside and so everybody can gather around and shoot the bull.

The meat is moist and tender and not dry like most.

You can get these cooking kits at Academy Sporting Goods, Walmart, mailorder, and other major stores or you can buy the stuff in piece parts.......like the cooking stove, big aluminum deep frying pot, peanut oil, injection needle to inject the spices in the turkey etc..

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you guys and gals and your families. Let me know if you tried the Cajun fried turkey.
