My sister in law is hosting my wife’s side of the family for Thanksgiving, meaning that her husband is going to cook the turkey. He has two upright smokers and a turkey fryer. Now, he has never used said fryer, which leads me to believe that this is what might ensue:

I hope he decides to use the smokers.

Either way, I’ll be stealing his liquor and insulting my in-laws. Good times!

Michael’s smoking our turkey this year.

Never done one of those deep fryer ones, but they sure taste great.

That’s gonna take a lot of rolling papers.

3. eddiebear - November 17, 2008

Is it that Mr. Lamm smoker (or whatever it is called)?

4. Michael - November 17, 2008

It’s not a smoker, it’s a Texas barbecue. Mr. Charles Lamm’s Heavy Metal Hand-Welded Genuine Texas Barbecue™.

IBSBP attendees can attest to its awesomeness.

IBSBP attendees can attest to its awesomeness.

…and its utility as a backup locomotive.

Well, if I attend a cannibal Thanksgiving feast, it better be a small family. Apparently, I can feed only 8 cannibals.

7. Mrs. Peel - November 17, 2008

(attending the feast as the “guest of honor,” I meant)

It was quite good at preparing the meat. I don’t get the whole “Texas BBQ” thing though. Hoity toity. We call those things “smokers” in Texas. Always have.

Indirect heat + wood smoke = smoker.

Um, Mrs. Peel, we can’t get the results of that quiz unless we sign up for your online dating service.

Hey, WickedPinto, how many cannibals could you feed?

10. Mrs. Peel - November 17, 2008

Sure you can. There’s a link at the bottom of the signup page that says “skip signup and go straight to results.”

11. Michael - November 17, 2008

Oh.

Geez, I can feed 13 cannibals.

12. Mrs. Peel - November 17, 2008

That’s all? I don’t feel so bad about my 8. Maybe your meat is mostly tough and stringy, while mine is tender, like veal.

13. geoff - November 17, 2008

Mrs. Peel. It’s what’s for dinner.

14. Michael - November 17, 2008

Maybe your meat is mostly tough and stringy . . .

Hey now. My meat may be tough and stringy, but it comes with a nice smoky flavor and a Jack Daniels marinade.

15. Sobek - November 17, 2008

I’m told I taste like chicken.

16. Sobek - November 17, 2008

12 cannibals? No way.

17. skinbad - November 17, 2008

12 as well. I might be kidding myself on the frequency of exercise question though. My marbling is probably better than Sobek’s.

18. Lipstick - November 18, 2008

I answered honestly and can only feed 9 cannibals.

That’s odd, I thought one of me would equal two Mrs. Peels.

19. Sobek - November 18, 2008

Skinny could easily feed more cannibals than I could. You guys have seen me. Back me up on this.

20. Wickedpinto - November 18, 2008

well at about 210 (lost some weight) but very boney, especially if Peel is present, and poorly marbled, maybe 14.

21. Wickedpinto - November 18, 2008

and I was guessing, bu it turns out it is 14 cannibals.

22. xbradtc - November 18, 2008

16 you pikers. But when I said “Eat me!” I was kidding. Unless you like your meat with a Marlboro/cheap booze tang…

23. Wickedpinto - November 18, 2008

Sure you can. There’s a link at the bottom of the signup page that says “skip signup and go straight to results.”

But dating cannibals sounds like fun. Once.

24. Wickedpinto - November 18, 2008

You are probably just richer in flavor Sobek. Less food but more filling.

25. Sobek - November 18, 2008

Ever since being married to Mrs. S, I’m sure I’m a lot healthier main course.

26. eddiebear - November 18, 2008

I did that thing and found out I feed 13 people.

27. Tushar - November 18, 2008

I can feed 14. Unless they don’t like brown meat.

28. howetex - November 24, 2008

Wow! I took the quiz, and found out I could feed 15 cannibals! And I’m not large at all, weight-wise. I guess that would be counting all the cornbread stuffing they put in me, right?
