    I have been asked if I would do a whole lamb, so I got me a bunch of @RedEyedHog and picking up the lamb on Friday. I’ll keep you posted.

    I am a shameless Turkey injector :)
    I mix up a good 1/2 gallon or more of garlic and herbs sauce and then use it all on one turkey.
    Bake the turkey with a “secret” method until it is juicy and falls off the bone.

    Then home made gravy from the left over juice.

    Other than that I make up a big dish a green bean casserole.

    We then all sit around and eat green bean casserole and turkey with gravy.

    We use to go all out and invite a bunch of friends and coworkers over for Christmas Thanksgiving and Easter BUT I ended up doing all the cooking and I am now on strike.

    We still get some folks that want to come over for just Turkey and green bean casserole so we have a open door policy for most of the day after the turkey is done :) (means I bake a big turkey :) )

    Come on down

    The lamb is getting injected with our family's pig sauce, its a mix of apple cider
    vinegar, red pepper flakes, lite brown sugar, some ketchup and other seasonings and will marinate in it for 2 days.

    Well his health isn't the best either and with just meeting him a couple months ago I want to spend as much time with him as I can. I never expected to have such a bond with him as I do but it's an amazing thing. And no, spending the holidays alone sucks. I've done it the last couple decades... Of course I didn't have family then either.

    The weather is supposed to be ugly all week, going fishing then coming back, celebrate and eat myself till I'm in a stupor. Rinse and repeat.

    Not a damn thing. Seems like we've been running WAO for the whole year and just finally catching a break. Plan on sitting right here with the wife and dog and watch the world go by.

    The mountains were calling, so I must go...

    Well...until the grandkids called. Now I must go to Dallas, for they take precedence.
