Does that make it worse? :P<br /><br />Jen: That's why I don't wear glasses anymore. I enjoyed the eating part, but the cooking part was for the birds. For the turkeys, if you will.<br /><br />csmith: And the blood wasn't even fake!<br /><br />Chickenfreak: Will it be live? Are you gonna have to chase the turkey around the kitchen? Maybe you can give the turkey a heart attack like Pauly Shore did in 'Son-In-Law'. <br /><br />Liz: I do that too. I had to really get over my food aversions to eat giblet gravy. But I closed my eyes and ate it the first time...and it was delicious! The key is being brave, and opening your mouth to new things...(yes, that's what she said!!!)<br /><br />IG: Of course you laughed, you bastard. <br /><br />'Twat sandwich' is my new favourite thing to call people. It was worth the self-stabbing and subjecting ourselves to international ridicule.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-5664364038063284142011-10-18T05:04:46.558-04:002011-10-18T05:04:46.558-04:00Laugh?

Clearly there's a lot of wimps like me!<br />But people do tend to use the fat/oil from the meat and put that into the gravy so it flavours it... Personally I can't do this either for the reasons mentioned earlier.<br /><br />I know, I know. I'm very picky. Any sign of fat/tendon/vein and I lose all my appetite. I even cut the tendons and veins out of chicken breasts.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-76234279548678957632011-10-12T01:36:44.385-04:002011-10-12T01:36:44.385-04:00Ow!

How incredibly impossible is it that both you and Chuck slice yourselves within minutes of each other with the same knife. I'd get rid of that knife girl.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-53179306154325053612011-10-11T18:29:31.302-04:002011-10-11T18:29:31.302-04:00We actually use the giblets to make the gravy.

Mix it in with the turkey drippings and a slurry (I love the word slurry) or flour and water. It's an orgasm in your mouth. Without the penis taste!<br /><br />Seems kind of macabre to bathe the turkey in the essence of its own internal organs for our dining pleasure. But it's a Southern thang. <br /><br />Dude, a good musicophile friend of ours just went to see the Raconteurs the same weekend Chuck and I saw Jim Jones Revue. She said she never thought they'd play together again, and was stoked that they were. I'd grab that chance if I were you :DKynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-39453570988194063642011-10-11T17:54:10.567-04:002011-10-11T17:54:10.567-04:00Hi Kyna,

I do not like to be reminded that meat was once alive. Yes I know that's childish, but then I'm not a big meat eater and would go veggie if I didn't love bacon so much.<br /><br />Of course, the slicing of your and Chuck's hands are the icing on the cake. <br /><br />I hope you have fun at the wedding and I'm looking forward to Hotel Yorba video :D<br />Oh my brother and I have agreed to go see the raconteurs since the Stripes pissed us off by cancelling their tour and so we never got to see them (although he actually got to see them in their early days, grrrr)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.com
