I did these a week ago, but had a tough time finding 'enough time' to deal with photobucket.

I pretty much followed a brine recipe from a book I recently purchased, 'Soaked, Slathered, and Seasoned' by Elizabeth Karmel.

It's a Rum-Honey Brine....with pineapple and Spiced Rum (coincidentally, I had some Capt. Morgan around :whistle: ). We really liked this one!

Paired with simple Jasmine rice and sautéed cabbage. It was killer.

When wy wife and I were in Ponte Vedra, FL a few weeks back, we ate at a Roy's Hawaiian fusion restaurant. We really liked this place, and were quite impressed (as it’s a small chain).

Anyway...we had an Iceberg Wedge salad with maple bacon and blue cheese dressing. Talked to manager and Sous chef (GREAT folks by the way, excellent service) and they mentioned they used Maytag Blue Cheese. After doing some research, it's the same family as the appliance company...farm is located in Iowa. Bought a wedge of it yesterday and whipped up the dressing. The bacon is from a great local butcher...I brushed the pieces during the last few minutes with Maple syrup. It was not exactly like Roy's, but very good. That was the best damn Blue Cheese we've ever had...I will continue to try.

I also did 3 small racks of Beef Ribs..rubbed with Lotta Bull Steak, and finished with Head Country BBQ sauce (picked this up recently at Fred's, and we like it!).

My wife works all day every Thanksgiving, so we pretty much enjoy the traditional meal ‘before and after’ the actual day. I did the Mad Max a month or so ago and a few breasts two weekends ago. They were both great! Another new Turkey attempt planned for Friday.

I’ll be doing my first Spatchcock Turkey on Friday, with a soak in a cranberry brine beforehand. Looking forward to it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!!
