What a way to kill a nasty husband! Death by deep-fried turkey!<BR/><BR/>And Candace, how cool that the men in your family all cook. Most of the men in my family can barely make a sandwich if they're starving. . . which led me to teach both of my sons to cook. Both cook regularly, but one has turned out to be the chief cook and bottle washer of his household. Amazing. When it came to the bridal registry, HE did the walk-through at Bed Bath and Beyond.<BR/><BR/>Rex, however, cooks. Mostly southern style. However, he has recently been converted to low carb for health reasons and is working hard to convert to healthier ways. He loves to barbeque and I just refuse to look at the grill afterward. That's his pervue; I'm the salad and fresh veggie maven. <BR/><BR/>And V&C. . . you have my sympathies, girl. Have you tried buying them a gadget or two to trick them into cooking? Men usually love gadgets. . .<BR/><BR/>:) BetinaBetina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1163445216468432682006-11-13T13:13:00.000-06:002006-11-13T13:13:00.000-06:00The men in my family expect me to chew the food an...The men in my family expect me to chew the food and spit it in their mouths.<BR/><BR/>;)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Honestly, that's not much of an exaggeration.the bleak midwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127742919885718474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1163442460399277902006-11-13T12:27:00.000-06:002006-11-13T12:27:00.000-06:00Flame it with a torch!!

The men ...Candace- My experience was the opposite. The men in my family were waited on hand-and-foot when it came to food and laundry. They wouldn't starve if left alone but they much preferred cooking as a spectator sport. Daddy would bring home the bacon and duck and brim and croppie and other edible creatures and fish but Momma always cooked 'em. As an impressionable young girl, I just tried not to think about what I was eating.<BR/><BR/>When given the chance, I married a man who didn't hunt and who cooked store bought food!Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992776098849029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1163435545175642312006-11-13T10:32:00.000-06:002006-11-13T10:32:00.000-06:00Helen-- This is the "deep frying" you're familiar...Helen-- This is the "deep frying" you're familiar with. Big vat of peanut oil. (low smoke point and neutral flavor) I think it cooks in like 4 minutes per pound so a 15 lb bird cooks up in 60 minutes. Something like that. Very quick and doesn't heat the house up because it's done outside.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992776098849029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1163430103000664522006-11-13T09:01:00.000-06:002006-11-13T09:01:00.000-06:00Deb, I've heard of deep frying a turkey - apparent...Deb, I've heard of deep frying a turkey - apparently you sink the bird in a vat of hot oil - but I've never before heard of "frying" a turkey. <BR/><BR/>Inquiring minds want to know ... Does your DH actually flame it with a torch? How long does it take to cook?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and my vote is ... don't ruin his fun!
