Turkey Surprise!
My brother surprised us by showing up on Thanksgiving day. Kat and I were working in the yard when he just casually walked up and started chatting. It took me a minute to realize what had just happened. He is currently stationed at Fort Bragg (North Carolina).
We hid him so he could surprise my Mom when she came over. I caught the moment.
The turkey was dropped in the hot oil.
The turkey came out all golden brown. We were proud of ourselves.
It was a good meal.
I drug my family to the Jester King Friday morning. I needed to get some Spon for a friend...
We also enjoyed some Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza while there.
Then, the rest of the holiday weekend was devoted to knocking out my brother's Texas To-Do list:
My Dad came down to spend the day with us. First item on the list was Micheladas from Takoba
The final list item was a Mexican Martini from Matt's el Rancho, along with Pecan Smoked Brisket Flautas.
And then he flew back to base.
