cant wait one minute more! like my old favorite tune from CIV, im pretty amped to see my ol pals stink and mec from philly relocated to the bay area trekkin up here for turks day.
after evaluating many a recipe for roasting a turkey, im going to trust my main man Alton Brown on the food network..if you've ever seen his show "good eats" - you'll know this guy knows his shit...big time science behind the cooking guy.. Alton's turkey recipe can be found here. i'll use his brining method as a nice starting point... letting it brine in a cooler outside for hours before roasting...
so we got this 20 pound bird! lotta turks for 4 people so some turkey soup will most def. be on a few days later...friends are coming for 4 days which will be nice...
a week later mel and i are definitely headed to india... bounce dec. 1st, arrive in bangkok dec 3rd, kick it with dj jazzy jeff and travellin matt that night at Que Bar where matt is a manager and dj, then bounce to new delhi, india the night of the 4th... IFE food trade show is the 6th through the 10th. my uncle jay's good pal has a brother/family in new delhi, and Rajeev will be having us over for dinner one night for an authentic indian homecooked meal!!! so excited to experience that...hopefully they'll also show us around for a little bit... we'll have some extra time in which we can hopefully make it to Rajisthan where Bourdain got his bhang lhasis on!!! do some research to know what im talking bout, but if you've been to amsterdam, its similar to a spaceshake... on the 10th we hit the taj mahal say word! then the 11th bounce down to Mumbai in the south (formerly known as Bombay). ask me if im gonna drink a bombay sapphire martini james bond style in bombay...come on now! extra olives or maybe a little pearl onion action called a gibson. hells yeah! back to bangkok on the 13th through the 17th to kick with matt, do some crazy bootleg shopping for $5 bape hoodies, cheap digital cameras, tons of sneaks and shoes....holler. not to mention a lot of thai full body $5 for an hour massages. no happy endings, get your mind out of the gutter, guys... and TONS of som tum, thai bbq chicken, bumi (egg noodle) soup with the bbq pork, bbq duck, etc. kow mon gai (mels favorite), street style pad thai and more. oh wait, curries. man i cant wait.
