A Thanksgiving Feast

I'm back - finally! :-) I have big plans to redesign the site and add some fantastic projects we've accomplished in the past few months. It's all a matter of balancing time - wish me luck!

To get things rolling... here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving Feast in Borger. We fried a turkey (actually 2) for the first time. We had a little bit of a scare when the propane tanks wouldn't seal correctly with our fryer (notice all the canisters?) But in the end it was fantastic and tasted DELICIOUS! We used this recipe to marinate the turkey: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/emerils-fried-turkey-recipe2/index.html .

February Flashback...

Since I am so. far. behind. I'm going to let the images do all the work: Enjoy!
