Just pushing this up.
@Lampy I have it slated to get two turkeys to your house on Tuesday for you to start brining/defrosting

I’m (just checking) buying:
The big gallons of peanut oil, a pot to fry the turkeys, a full propane tank (I have one), silverware, plates, table covers and that’s all I know.

It said “Lobster” at the top of the sheet and I started to get excited until reality sunk in: it is just the name of the font…

I thoroughly enjoyed the crawfish the time we did that. If we can cook turkeys here, can we do that again someday?

@Lampy my plan is to pick up the turkeys and get them to you tomorrow after school. I’m thinking 3. How big do they need to be and do you need anything else (yes I know oil) do you want me to buy the propane refill via the DMS account?

I’m buying two simple chafing dishes to stay at DMS, sterno, and this thing just to try it out to help things keep cool. Reviews look promising and its worth a shot for drinks.

14-16 lbs is a good size. they need to be approximately the same size so we don’t have to adjust the oil level.

I’ll handle the propane and a tray to place the cooker on.

Could someone pin this just till Sunday evening? @John_Marlow

If you can’t bring anything to the party but still want to participate I will need help setting up (6ish) and also cleaning up (past 10p) I would love that. Contribute in other ways. We will have plenty of food.

Went to Costco last night and delivered three mid-size respectable birds to Kens house (we now live 6 minutes from each other isn’t that grand) He’s going to brine them and fry them for nibbles.

A few more trips to the store and we should be good to go for Saturday.
Today and tomorrow the chafing dishes should arrive to DMS along with some smaller things for the party. Please be on the lookout - they are labeled DMS PR- for potluck please place them on the table till Saturday

@StanSimmons I’ve already sent an email but here are the tracking numbers for all to watch out for.

Tracking ID 420371799498
Tracking ID 1Z21A88F0335975965
Tracking ID TBA610319469000

@Lampy said he plans on setting up around 4ish to start cooking @Nick @brsims

Remember to bring things in disposable containers as I won’t be doing dishes at the end of the night - leftovers in disposable dishes will be taken to the kitchen for nibblers when the party dies down. I will have my son with me so I won’t be able to stick around really really late.

Just incase you care
Purchased:
turkey
cups
plates
2 chafing dishes (to be reused for PR)
a tabletop ice thing
Prizes for some small little fun things

To buy (dollar store stuff):
napkins
small dessert plates
table covers
Smores bar
