It's official. Christmas music is dangerous. The song was from 1984. Now covered across the globe. Pop singers in every music market have recorded it.

That is too funny. I guess the 49ners don't mind if it is shown all over the word, but they want to make sure Ford truck Enthusiasts don't see it. LOL.
Wow, so now Christmas songs are dangerous to listen to while driving. What else will they be telling us?

Apparently, a lot of people sing this song. And it's just as dangerous as George Michael in a Beverly Hills bathroom. You know that your career in law enforcement is over when the watch commander assigns you to check public bathrooms.

And he is no longer alive, so we are picking on him because?

Mr. Panayiotou made Christmas music. He died on Christmas Day. We are paying tribute.

I made a turkey today. Without any reason to make a turkey.

Okay, the sneaky truth is that I like turkey gravy. Not the kind in a can. The kind that is homemade and labor intensive. I debone the turkey before cooking, so I have all of the bones neck, and giblet pack. That simmers away while the bird is roasting. When the bird is done in the oven, I add the pan drippings to the stock pot. I don't waste anything. I scrape all the meat off the bones and add the scraps back into the stock pot. The end result is a hearty, meat filled stock. This gives me a thick, rich, meat gravy.

My guilty pleasure midnight snack is spreading the turkey meat gravy on bread. Instead of peanut butter & jelly, which I often have, I'm eating a turkey gravy sandwich.

The X thinks that I roast turkeys just to make the gravy. I wish I could do it all year around. But the rest of the year, it's too expensive. I can only afford to do it when turkey goes on sale. I better ****** up a few more turkeys at this price. Before the turkey mafia sends them all to Taiwan, where Chiayi Turkey Rice is now the national dish.

You made a turkey? I wish I could do that. I wouldn't have to go to the store to buy one if I could make one.
The timing chain/tensioner set arrived yesterday. I was shocked. Took the box to the repair shop and said I hope it can be done by the first or second week of January. He said that is doable. So, we will see.

I removed every bone. Except for the wings. It cooks extremely fast that way. The skin is crispy. The meat is tender and juicy. The best part is the gravy. I get to eat turkey gravy and avocado sandwiches. But only at midnight. It's more special as a midnight snack.

It almost looks like you spatchcocked it.

A little bit more work. Spatchcock is where the back bone is removed and the bird is flattened. Almost like Chinese pressed duck. I remove the back bone, then keep going. That gives me all of the bones for stock. Both methods cook the bird in 90 minutes. To me, it's less visually appealing than a whole bone in turkey. But the meat and skin are much better for eating. This is also good for a duck, at high heat, for crispy skin.






I made some aioli and had a turkey salad.
