Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.

I bought a big pair of poultry shears to try spatchcocking a turkey for Thanksgiving this year.
Well Thanksgiving didn't go as planned due to illness. Girlfriend was starting to feel a little sick earlier in the week, and was down hard on Thursday morning. Called it off. Thought it was :justflu:, but then yesterday she lost smell and taste, so...great.
:hmmrona: At least it's a long weekend.

Meanwhile we still have this giant 19 pound turkey in the fridge, and I feel fine. About to have turkey sandwiches for literal days!

We've now cooked turkey like 5-6 different ways and spatchcocking was probably Top 1-2.
This is the way. :hai:

For such a big turkey we probably needed a bigger roasting pan. It was tough to squeeze that big bitch in there after flattening it out. Also the shears only got through about half of the ribs before becoming too much effort. Used a chef's knife to get through the larger ribs and hips, but it worked out.

Mixed a bunch of black pepper and herbs with two sticks of butter and slathered it all over and under the skin before it went into the oven. And before anyone asks, it was salted butter, because lol, lmao.

Used the neck and spine to make a kickass gravy, and for my first totally solo Thanksgiving turkey it turned out pretty drat nice. Good stuff, but I don't think it was quite as good as,

Don't fry it like a dirty goon.
Yeah, okay, but, I remember when I was a kid my redneck cousin deep fried a turkey for Thanksgiving a few times and it was amazing. I don't think he has a forums account, but their house was a little messy.

I considered it, but the amount of oil needed is pretty cost prohibitive. Maybe at some point in the future. :btroll:

I've always thought of it as a SUV is based on a truck platform and a Crossover is based on a car platform, which makes everything a crossover now.

Also a crossover is a minivan with normal backdoors instead of sliding backdoors.

I guess even Ferrari makes a crossover now: https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/auto/ferrari-purosangue

Crossovers are IN, baby! https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/macan/macan-models/macan/

This, however, is a little closer to my price range: https://www.subaru.com/vehicles/crosstrek.html

Debadge it, throw some new wheels/tires on it, and just fake having a "Porsche" to my friends.

Then when a bad call leads to a crash that puts Leclerc’s eye out, people will ask who did it to him, and he’ll have to say “No one! No one pit me on the wrong lap! No one picked the wrong tire strategy!”

Not a reference I expected in this, the so-claimed worst thread.

Keep Leclerc away from the wine and tell him not to trust Greeks?

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
My dad was a self-taught, self-employed, badass mechanic who primarily worked on muscle cars. The local Corvette Club would come to his shop for teardowns after drag racing events, and he tuned drag racing and autocross cars with friends/customers/both on weekends. Hanging out at the shop over summer break from elementary school, I heard from so many customers that dad made their car so much faster it scared them at first. That they didn't think their car was capable of such power.
Just leave out the part that his shop barely made enough money to stay afloat and he never owned a Corvette despite being a local club member for decades...

Anyway, I didn't learn a drat bit of it and became a middling computer-toucher. It all sounds so loving cool, but every time he explained it to my young idiot self it just blurred into gibberish about equations, ratios, gears, and mechanisms I couldn't picture in my mind.

I saw this after just watching the Dakar highlights and goddrat I nearly pissed myself laughing. Absolutely spot-on.

"Dad, do you need the flashlight now?"

Sorry dad, I still don't know what tool you need me to hand you, but I miss holding the light for you.

...with curly fries and a coke. Could I get some Horsey sauce too? Thanks.

This might be the most offensive thing I've ever seen on broadcast television and exemplifies why I have not had a cable subscription for nearly 20 years.
