Gameday Meal

[Ranching]

I'm posting early, cause this one will need preparation. I am taking a wild turkey out of the freezer tonight, thawing it for about 30 hours, marinating it for another 36 hours then sticking it's head far up it's butt and smoking it for a day. I'll let it sit and cool, slice it up and then make Turkey Ala Goodell samiches on gameday! Salud!

The way the Cowboys have been playing... A bottle of Pepto Bismol and a jar of fruity Tums... And then maybe a sedative.

A lot of alcohol goes good with Cowboy gamedays.

Fellow grillman tip: You should let that Turkey soak in an applecider brine for a day before putting it on the smoker.

Late game again I'll be at work

Jack Daniels. Lots and lots of Jack Daniels. Ribeye, Chicken, Brauts,


Did I mention Jack Daniels? Because that is a must for me for any Cowboys game of late. Cheaper than bail.

Yeah...brining makes a huge difference. Curious what kind of smoke you're using. With turkey I usually go with cherry or pecan

Makes the win feel great and the losses feel great as well.

Think I will not eat anything. Last week tried something mild as not to taste as bad when is came back up. But that was an aweful, just aweful taste regardless of what it was. It was the most pathetic loss barf ever.

So this week I will have nothing but my black coffee early in the morning, and my water later on.

This may be the last game I watch this season. I'm done with the NFL if the Cowboys lose to the 4ers. As such I'm treating this like a last meal ... I want all the pizza I can eat.

Carved Marinelli if he calls another crap game

Flambeed Linehan if he screws up


All in a nice red sauce

Pretty sure you should let it soak in some form of a BRINE solution for a period of adequate length of time there coach

I bought a standing rib roast today. Without missing a beat, my wife observed, "so, celebrating a probable Cowboy's win?" It sometimes bugs me that she can read me so well.

Considering he lives in south Texas, I'm guessing mesquite...

Yeah I know they love their mesquite down there, but that's a smoke that can over-power foods...especially on long cooks.

Just making sure. Some swear by dry brine. Some by various liquid brines. But by far the best turkey I have ever had was following an applecider brine.
