    I may just take you up on this challenge. We shall see. Do you use a frozen or a fresh turkey when you do this recipe? The turkey I've had that I most enjoyed (but still kinda meh) was Gordon Ramsay's recipe

    I've done about eight different preparations of turkey, and none of them have been terrific. I've never been thrilled with turkey prepared by anyone else, either. I think I'm just not a fan of turkey. Even when it isn't dry, the texture of the white meat can give the perception of dryness...

    I may never cook a turkey again. Far too dry, not as nice a texture as other options. When possible, I'll do a fresh turkey, killed that morning. Another good option is duck. Cook them right, not greasy at all, and far better (in my opinion) than turkey. I don't need to be traditional...

    Doesn't work. You have to add the equivalent back in when you take the one square out.

    Yeah, I don't really want him to be a concert violinist. I know what that lifestyle is like, and screw that. I just want him to learn to play well enough that he plays into adulthood and enjoys it. It was fun to have the kindergarten kids sing twinkle with him.

    So, my son played violin for his kindergarten class yesterday. He was clearly nervous as all get out, but he said he'd do it, and he did, and he did great. At his school there are two other sections of kindergarten, and he doesn't know those kids or those teachers, but his teacher asked if he'd...

    I'd guess they poach an egg to the point where it is just solid enough to hold it's shape, bread it with the sausage coating, and deep-fry it in extremely hot oil just long enough to make the sausage safe to eat. Another possibility is that the eggs were merely soft boiled, not poached...

    Electric fence is definitely the way to go with deer. It's not nearly as difficult as you think, nor is it as expensive. Go on ebay and get the components. It's easy to do, and it's a permanent solution. Believe it or not, if you run a wire near the ground, it'll keep the rabbits and such...

    The trick to poaching eggs is to add a little white vinegar to the water. Get it boiling well, and don't add too many eggs at once - that cools the water too much, and shit happens. Experiment, try a couple times. Poached eggs are as easy as fried eggs, and require less attention (no...
