    In my book Classic American comfort food has to include Mac and cheese or pastina if you have Italian roots.

    I have had Mac and cheese 3 separate times in the last 8 days. I feel like poop

    Went out to dinner tonight after doing the stupid Mall Santa thing with the kids

    The Sea Bass was good but the 4 year old's side of Mac N Cheese was the best thing on the table.

    Suckered into 2 apps and 3 desserts.  Frigging wife is as bad as the kids!

    I'm not the biggest Mac and cheese can, not that I don't like it, but it's not high on my list.
    I had a macaroni pie in Barbados on our honeymoon that basically ruined macky chee for me by being so delicious that nothing compared favorabfav.

    I tried watermelon with feta and a crack of black pepper yesterday. Interesting.
    Add ripped pieces of basil and balsamic to that and you have a masterpiece.  
    I tried mint the other day.

    I know many are fans of this show.
    Quite possibly the, ummm, least intelligent person that Sean has had on the show.  Good thing for her that she looks good and can sing.  She missed on a whole bunch of words and -- best part -- she went on a show eating fucking hot wings when having a black pepper allergy.

    I haven't watched this one.  Weird Al is on tomorrow's episode!

    Wierd Al fucking rules, can't wait to see that one!

    Beef Cheek Ragu?  Sounds great! 

    Turkeys -- so how are people preparing their Turkeys for Christmas?

    Going to do a dry brine this year -- I really love it when tried on chickens so am imagining the same success w/Turkey.  Kosher salt on/under skin - lots of it.  2-3 days in the fridge.  Roast in the oven.

    Haven’t tried a dry brine yet. Gotta try it on some chicken.

    A chicken you can leave in the fridge for 24 hours.  Don't cover it up and the skin will be ridiculous.  (So good!)

    I can find them locally at a few specialty markets (Sur La Table, William Sonoma, and World Market), as well as a few specialty grocery stores. They can also be ordered on Amazon. Can you order them from Amazon in AUS?
    If not, you can make them if you have a month before you need to use them. Here's a recipe from Epicurious I've used a couple of times:

    We go spiral ham instead of turkey; it is so much easier to cook and much tastier.  Happy holidays everyone!

    I like a turkey much better than Ham, although some hams are damn tasty.  Enjoy it!

    I did a dry brine on the Thanksgiving turkey with lots of kosher salt, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary. 3 days in the fridge (2 days covered with plastic wrap, 1 day uncovered). Turned out great.

    My wife is very anti turkey on Christmas since you just had it. They do gravy so we’re doing a rib roast and gravy/lasagna. Gonna gain 40 pounds
