My first turkey was spatchcocked in a Kamado style smoker. I dry brined it 24 hours with a generous amount of salt with a teaspoon of baking powder. I forget what spices. The test turkey I did the week before turned out great and it came out about as juicy and tasty as a deep fried one.

Turkey wings. I buy pounds of them in the weeks before Thanksgiving. Roast them until brown, clean off all the fond from the pan, toss in onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay leaf, and some peppercorns. Top off with decent chicken stock and either instant pot for two hours or low simmer for four. Strain off the precious juice, let cool in a big bowl over ice to get it out of the danger zone, then in the fridge. Comes out like a firm jello. Take the fat off the top. I let a little bit of the broth brown in the pot before heating. Make the roux with the fat. Super rich and silky, so much flavor. I've been tasked with bringing gravy to family Thanksgivings for decades now.

I always go into Thanksgiving with twice as much stock prepared as I need (made from wings and necks). It can save the day if you get unexpected guests or if tragedy befalls your dressing or gravy.

One time I was helping my mom make gravy for xmas dinner and she told me to get the flour from the unlabeled Tupperware container, which was next to an identical unlabeled Tupperware container filled with icing sugar. You can probably guess what happened.

Itchy_Grundle posted:OK. I have about 22 people coming and I'm responsible for the turkey. I'm thinking about getting two medium/large birds and cooking them spatchcock style. As far as I’m concerned spatchcocking is the only way to cook a turkey. Not only is it way faster the bird doesn’t dry out

My dad once accidentally cooked a whole goose on a BBQ in 2 hours. I was about 10. Once my mom trimmed off the outside char layer, it was really good and done all the way through. Edit: HMU for more ways to accidentally do things right which you’re not supposed to do!

I know someone who had the absolute tragedy of doing a whole goose for his relatively small family for Christmas then going on a diet. He had like, half a pound of goose fat just sitting in his fridge in a mason jar mocking him for months. Fantastic whenever one of us came over to hang out though. harm narm narm narm

Goose fat, even more than duck fat, is liquid gold and is a redeeming quality for those goddamn snakes with wings.

Geese always pick the most inconvenient place for their nests. You'd think they would want to be out of the way of traffic.

P sure I saw a nest in the rusted out booster of a missile system once. Still prefer them to pigeons.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Fortnite is made to be a near platonic ideal of a gently caress around game, I think the kids are alright. Comparatively. I personally don't like Fortnite at all, but I think it is a very fair assessment overall to say it is a platonic ideal of a great gently caress around game. Lot of people think Counter-Strike is ultimately very close to peak Competetive Team based shooting even if they don't like playing it anymore or at all. Some games have just really distilled their core essence and like a sculptor just gotten rid of all the fluff.

Ghost Leviathan posted:For all of the justified complaints about modern AAA games, the ones I think can be respected are the ones that actually take advantage of modern hardware to do poo poo nothing could before. In the case of battle royales, good old fashioned Deathmatch with as many players as modern servers can cram in. Doesn't Fortnite cap out at like 100 players? We were doing multiplayer FPSes with more players than that back in 2001.
