Well it was a Great Easter, the egg hunt was lots of fun (still can't find one egg)
the grand kids were so good and the food was better than I expected since I got thrown a couple of curve balls.
My daughter called yesterday and asked if we could have a late lunch instead of supper as her husband's sister had announced that that she was going to be in town so she and family needed to be at the in laws for supper. Being the understanding Redneck that I am I said sure.
I'd planned on having a Smoked Turkey and it was already in the curing brine. So I set an alarm for 2am to get things going. Once I was up I went to preheat the smoker and when I turned it on
POOF! The heating element shorted out. Since number one, we don't have a store open at that time on night that sells those and number two even if we did I wasn't in the mood to go try to find one anyway so I put plan B in place.
I decided to just slow roast the bird which was something that I'd never done. Well it came out very good, nice and moist, tender and with the cure it had a different texture but all enjoyed it.
So the late
'Lunch' was the slow roasted turkey; canned green beans with onion, Italian sausage and mushrooms in chicken stock; dressing with turkey gravy, homemade rolls with butter and homemade blueberry jam and a peach pie for dessert.
I do hope that I'm forgiven for not taking step by step or even a 'Here it is pic' but I was up to my ass in alligators but believe me it seemed to have been enjoyed.
