well, shit.....I forgot about your household's food allergies when I made that initial post. I feel like a complete asshole now. you and Malarky are the only ones close enough to know the Bros. chain of stores I referenced. Lena, maybe.....not sure where she lived when she was in MA. but the butternut squash from the hot bar/cold prepped and packaged....yes. that stuff is like crack. I make arancini from whatever squash is left. I know the chain. Used to shop there until Whole Checkbook and Stop and Shop became my closest stores. Is there one down by you now or do you go to one near work? How do the Bros. prepare their butternut? I'm really curious -- might need to steal the idea and adapt it for home use. with a lot of butter, brown sugar, and other tasty spices. there is one near me now, sorta. it's all the way over in a Mashpee Commons. I don't go there often, actually gave someone else cash to pick it up for me tomorrow so I don't have to go. sent from my electronic distraction

So right now, I have a 13 lb turkey sitting outside in the laundry sink (yeah, it's cold enough) that we picked up at Costco for $15 off. It's going to be cooked today, some how.
The one thing that I know that I want to do is that I'm going to cook it in pieces. I watched them dismantle a turkey on FN this week and it seems like a much more logical way of cooking a turkey and getting everything to the right temperature. Whether or not we do it on the grill or in the oven is another question though!

After using scissors, a steak knife, and a butter knife we managed to push the cork into the bottle. Then we used a trouser sock to strain out the cork while the wine was poured into a bowl. I was having that wine dammit! Lol It was actually pretty good. Atta girl!
And thanks for the laugh! This is a story you will share many times.
Last year I used a screw and hammer to open a bottle of wine You twist the screw down into the cork about half way and then use the hammer claw to pull it out... The family thought it was hilarious

Used a screw to get your wine? Does that seem backwards to anyone here?
