They don't publish their letters to the editor online. I just checked.

Can you summarize what the anger-causing issues were?

Canned kidney beans and Sam Adams beer.
Oh, and feta cheese.

In retrospect, I should not have asked that question when I already feel like I'm going to throw up any second now.

I know Texas is a big place, but I didn't realize that it extends as far as Boston and Greece.

I realize that most Texans don't believe beans have any place in chili. Personally, I can take them or leave them. And a good beer, even if it isn't Shiner Bock, can add a lot to a bowl of red. But feta cheese? WTF?

Bringing the food board out from under all the others. Walgreens had a whole aisle for Christmas wrapping paper this morning, and I'm pretty sure the halls all over town will be decked by the end of the week.
Should we brine the turkey this year?

Hmmm. And resurrected just in time to talk about good cold-weather foods.
Speaking of, last Sunday, I made a chicken and sausage chili with both red and black beans (yeah, I don't follow any "book," sts) -- slow cooked in the crock pot, served with cornbread and copious amounts of beer to wash it down with.
Fuck, I am hungry.

Rather than continue this on the PB, do you have any other barbeque-related recommendations? I have a brother who is hard to shop for, and his birthday and Christmas are looming ahead. Someone recently gave him a membership to the big barbeque association in Kansas City. We checked out a local barbeque contest a few months ago (that was pretty fun). He has a basic smoker. Our dad was pretty big into smoking foods and I think he's picking up the torch but isn't likely to be a full-time contest participant or anything like that.

Hmmm. Have you looked through the Penzey's catalog. I'd check out their gift boxes for rubs and seasonings that you think he might like.

Absolutely; no question. Thanksgiving is at the Fugee Brother's house this year. I have to figure out a way to get my SIL to let me make the turkey because I don't want to eat an unbrined one.
I bought one of those monster large pork loin roasts at Costco last month for a group dinner and brined it in a brine made with apple juice and brown sugar in addition to the usual water and salt. Yum. |

Do you have a preferred turkey brining recipe?

Food gadget
Two things.
[list=1][*]This is a dangerous site. Food and Drink section of the Gagetry Blog
[*]My mom just got this cooker and I'm dying to try it out. I'm not going to be at her house for Thanksgiving this year, but I imagine the turkey will be excellent cooked this way. Orion Cooker
It smokes and steams at the same time, using convection heat.
Quote:
The Orion Cooker™ utilizes a patented cooking system to create a convection current within the main cooking cylinder. The convection current created, reduces the cook times significantly over traditional cooking methods while the use of indirect heat also prevents the meat from drying out. Because the cooking cylinder is completely enclosed, all the heat and moisture is trapped inside. The trapped moisture creates a steaming effect that keeps the meat moist and allows the meat to pull away from the bone.
Additionally, the consumer can increase the moisture levels by adding water to the drip pan or change flavors by adding apple juice, beer or white wine. If desired, the Orion will also smoke the product. Adding wood chips between the inside wall of the main cooking cylinder and the drip pan will produce meat that tastes as if it has been smoking all day.

If you're cooking the standard grocery store variety bird, no need to brine it. They're already injected with a saline solution to keep them moist. The label will tell you whether or not the bird's injected.
If you're buying a fresh or kosher turkey, then you need to brine. I suggest adding some lime zest and dried apple chunks to the brine.
