Help: Deep fried turkey not crispy
You might also let your bird rest at room temp. on the counter for a little while to take the chill off before frying. Good luck!
Pet Peeve: it's "ballotine," not "balantine".
Oregano is often pronounced differently in the U.K. vs. the U.S. along with basil and herb. Aluminum is the one I find amusing because there seems to be an extra syllable thrown in there in the U.K. I think it may depend on just where you live.
Tomato/tomaato, potato/potaato; let's call the whole thing off...
The entertainer who doesn't feel like entertaining this year
I think the dessert idea sounds great. You might make it a sweet and savory thing and ask your friends to bring either a dessert or hordeouvre to the gathering. A few hours is more than enough time to celebrate--and jeez, if you're hosting, let your friends help out. I'm sure they would consider it a way to give thanks to you for keeping their American roots alive these past years. Sorry it's been a rough time for you. Do take care.

Serious Heat: What's Your Secret Chili Ingredient?
I like to add a bottle of Saranac Black and Tan or Saranac Mocha Stout. They both have some chocolate undertones and impart depth and richness to my chili.
Green Tomato Ideas Needed
How's about fried green tomato BLT's? The fried green tomatoes are a substitute for the toast. A green tomato and onion gratin with some good gruyere would be a nice side dish, especially for a brunch.
Thanksgiving Planned Overs
Hey Pam! Glad to see you again! My husband always has a coma inducing hot turkey sandwich and stuffing on Black Friday for lunch. He has so much that he should really use a platter rather than a plate or maybe even a mixing bowl to help contain the lake of gravy he ladles on. Me--a cold turkey sandwich with cranberry horseradish relish...mouth watering now.
Soup or potpie with the leftovers also.
Favorite Pizza Condiment??
Red pepper flakes occasionally for me. Oldest son loves pizza and Franks's Red Hot. Hubby likes garlic butter for dipping the bones.
Have You Ever Deep Fried a Turkey for Thanksgiving?
I've been thinking about trying this for a few years now. Maybe one cold February day to break up cabin fever, but certainly not for the first time on Turkey Day.

Where have 'comments we have know and love" gone?
@jerzee--okay, let's do this and look over the past couple of weeks!
@LPC...he's on a pizza mission/quest--he's showin' us the love through his dedication to the ultimate 'zaa is around the country. I'm sorry you miss him. ; )
Where have 'comments we have know and love" gone?
I'm assuming that because Adam is on the great pizza quest and also getting close to Turkey Day, that there hasn't been enough time for the SE staff to put Look Who's Talkin' together. I miss it also...a little patience and I'm sure it will return.
Another thought is that in the interim, perhaps talk commenters could post some of their favorite comments and topics from the past few weeks.
shipping meat pies
Dry ice may be used when shipping perishable items, provided it is done according to the shipper's specifications. The USPS has guidelines on their website and here's FedEx's Packaging Perishable Shipments guidelines. Page 4 gives the dry ice requirements, but the whole thing gives good advice on shipping perishables. I'm sure UPS has something similar. Hope that helps.

What would you make with 2 pounds of lobster meat?
Either Pearl Oyster Bar's lobster roll or lobster macaroni and cheese.
Should We Keep Chocolate Milk in Schools?
the days they ran out of chocolate milk before I came through the line were the days I didn't drink any milk at school.
I did sometimes drink plain milk at home, generally with ice cubes, because really cold was the only way I could stand it. (Or, over cereal. Mom bought only unsugared things like shredded wheat & grape nuts, but we were allowed to add sugar or honey. so, yum.) the milk at school was never cold enough for me.
My weight gain didn't begin until I was nearly 20 years out of school. When I no longer habitually drink cow's milk.

What would you make with 2 pounds of lobster meat?
I'd go with pasta with lobster sauce. I'm partial to marinara, so I'd do a lobster marinara, but of course an oil or cream sauce would work too (and is probably more conventional anyway).
Or a lobster pizza! That sounds good too.

Help: Deep fried turkey not crispy
I also agree with the need for some old oil. I use my deep fryer quite a bit, and have always noticed that a vat of completely fresh oil never gives the color and crispness you would expect from deep frying. I have never read about the reasons, but know from experience that it happens.
