OH hell ya, you read my mind!!!  But I'm smoking mine.  I'm trying to convince the wife to not get a big bird.  In the smoker it's half hour per pound, the one I did in July took 10 hours.  And I don't want to be up at 3 in the morning!  But if I do, I document the smoking with pics!!  I've got to set up my covered spot in case of rain, since I don't want to fill up the shop with smoke.  We will do the traditional stuff. 

I'm also thinking of throwing on my 6 pound pork loin for my mom!

I am cooking a trip to ORLANDO!

If you're going to deep fry your turkey, make sure it is thawed out completely before dropping it in hot oil.  Did you see the show about it called Warp?  Ice melting to water and expanding into a gas creates a nice hot oil splash that ignites if it hits an open flame or burner.

We're having a pot roast type thing and some veggie thing instead of turkey.  My wife is a fairly new non-veggie and doesn't enjoy poultry at all.  I'm not a huge fan of turkey myself so why deal with the huge mess.

I'm a firm believer that holiday meals are way overdone and most people would enjoy the holiday the same without having weeks of leftovers.  We're trying to minimize the number of things on the table and only going with the favorites.
