I suggest staying away from balut I would have to draw the line with that one. Google it, I'm def not posting a pic on here

HAHA Right? I have never had balut, I refuse, but my grandpa made DB try it and he took it like a champ, good on him cause this girl ain't eating that

This year my brother will be hosting Thanksgiving so I am glad to only be in charge of making a pie and a cheesecake for dessert. I feel for all of you who will have to go through all the process of getting dinner prepared. Hope it will be quick & pain free!

We're having a Friendsgiving as well with our besties. Turkey, obvs. I've never had a fried turkey before so my best friend is frying it. I'm so excited. I'm making deviled eggs, green bean casserole, mashed potato casserole. Gotta have gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, corn, rolls as well. R wanted apple pie with vanilla ice cream, so that's happening. My friend is making sweet potato pie and bread pudding.

Yeah, I'm probably going to eat my weight in food.

DB was talking about wanting to fry turkey as well, I've never tried it, hope it turns out well

Mmm. I imagine it's going to be delicious. Thinking it's like fried chicken, ya? In any case, can't wait to try it!

It's not like fried chicken.

If you inject it ahead of time, it's so moist. The skin is crispy, but not like a breaded fried chicken. I've had fried turkey my whole life. I can't imagine cooking one all day long.

I'm so freaking pumped for Thanksgiving and just read through everyone's menus again and it made me even more excited I was originally just going to do a turkey breast in the crockpot but ended up getting a 10lb turkey and will be throwing the whole thing in there! It'll sit in there all day and then I'll finish it in the broiler. OM NOM NOM
