The Honey brined and smoked turkey looks so good! That I don't have to use the oven, and can relax while it smokes... oh yeah!

"Working Lunch" suggestions?

@jerzeeTomato: I wish. Nope, they'll be right there, eating with us. It's a working meeting, and no one is excused for lunch.

@whoot: When us mid-level folks get together, we usually go in and pot luck or order pizza. Upper mgmt is known for going out to expensive lunches, but since we're working with a vendor, we can't do that. Not really stealing my time, since I'm getting paid my exorbitant hourly wage for the whole day...

@dhorst for the win! I'm stopping a Trader Joes in the morning for some cheese, grapes, and a baguette.

Thanks everyone!

@chisai:

We're civil servants, and are expected to bring our own lunch, because if we cater it, the local newspaper will inevitably find out we ate some pasta with tax payer money and burn us at the stake.

My boss may end up ordering a few pizzas, but I want be prepared just in case.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll stay away from the german bologna sandwich with red onions...

Photo of the Day: Salad Dressing Cake

I understand mayo cake, having eaten and enjoyed it -you don't taste the mayo any more than you taste the eggs in a regular cake, but seriously? The components of mayo cake and that of salad dressing end at the oil, vinegar, sugar and egg.

Simply put, there's no frosting or cakey goodness in my bottle of Seven Seas.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Devil's Food Dictionary'

Bacon: (n) Once worshiped as part of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Bacon), this delicious pork offering was replaced by the Holy Spirit after allegedly seducing believers to worship it above all. It is a widely held belief that the fruit offered to Eve in the Garden was bacon-wrapped.

Ham in Coca-Cola. I always buy a honeybaked ham, but this year, I'm going for this, if only for the "liquid gold" pan juice. Especially since I have Coke w/o HFCS. Where has this been all my citified life?

The cranberry sauce with champagne and currants. I just bought some currants for another recipe that I've decided not to do.

Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey
Smoked turkey is a huge favorite of mine! Last week we made smoked turkey legs for our weekly BBQ soaked the hickory chips in beer and then finished off with a glaze of bbq sauce. A grill does just fine for a smoker, gas or charcoal.

I decided to give a recipe a test run before Thanksgiving, so I made the corn bread dressing with pecans and bacon last night and prepared it with chicken.

Delicious! This one is definitely going on the table Thanksgiving day.

I would go with a wrap...I just wouldn't put avocado or sliced tomatoes in it. Diced tomato is ok, but as one person wrote, avocado and tomato tend to slide right out. Also, make sure your dressing isn't too peppery - don't want anything stuck in the teeth!

You could also go with a salad - my favorite is Asian grilled chicken over lettuce with cilantro, daikon, and a ginger-sesame vinaigrette.

the one sandwich a person has brought in here that made me think was a cucumber sandwich. from my pov, i thought it was awesome. a very masculine guy brought it in and i think of the sandwich as girls at afternoon tea. it just opened my eyes to the multi-faceted personality he has.
