Thanksgiving day menu

The Cornish hens sound good, but the wife figured out the were baby chickens and wont have anything to do with them.  Guess you call it the bachelor dinner, wonder why?

[RadSav]

Thanks giving dinner for us is usually elk jerky, teriyaki sticks, cheese and crackers.  And the wife usually has a winged warrior beverage of some sort.  On a rare occasion we pack a turkey sandwich.  Normally too dang tired from hunting to make anything more than that!

they are not baby chickens how silly this is not chicken veal, they are a specifically bred type of chicken.  People are so silly they read stuff online or hear about it and believe its true.  Actually Game chickens were originally bred for fighting still are in some parts they are small and aggressive (game) 

hmmmmm maybe I can take my 410 and find some sort of small fowl to shoot at....

Almost all chickens are slaughtered within 30 and 70 days!  A Cornish hen I hear is slaughtered about a week prior to a fryer.  So I guess you could say all commercially grown chicken in a store is baby chicken.

Ever eat a "Spent Layer" chicken?  That is an older hen that has stopped producing eggs.  Tuff as a wild turkey!!  Crock Pot is about the only option on those darn things

A game hen that you buy at the store is almost always a cornish rock hybrid.  And they are babies when you kill them not sure what you have been reading online.  But I have raised cornish game hens and I butchered them at 4 weeks old.  Also I grew the fryer's to 6 weeks old before I butchered them.  They haven't even grown in all of there feathers at 6 weeks old.  If that's not a baby chicken I don't know what is.

My great gramma would eat her old laying hens after they stopped laying.  She would always pressure cook them.  I ate them a few times and it was pretty good.

I have heard pressure cooking wild turkey is the way to go.  Makes sense that laying hens would be the same!  I might need to do some research and get me a pressure cooker.  How dangerous are those things?  Never used one before.

heck yes you should go and take your shotty gun for a walk! Take killer the hound with you... wear some orange. Take a 22 pistole.. stop at the bakery and get a whole dang box of fritters and a special treat for the attack dog, some of your fav fritter chaser. String a tarp, build a fire, put coffee on, kick out a chair and try and convince yourself you need to leave the flames and stomp around in the chill!
Run, if you can't tell. This how I roll, I've solved a problem or two doing just this.
Re: the small monster fighting birds I refered to as babies.....foolish of me to say such a thing. Please share your story with my wife.

Rad, I use pressure cookers alot.
The wife is afraid of them because her mom cooked something that foamed up and plugged a vent that caused the safety to release making a mess on the ceiling.
Have a big one for pres canning and an 8 qt for cooking.
Never cooked a turkey.... but most everything else.
Google pres cooker recipes, brace yourself, replace printer cartridges often.
Have fun

Only experience I have had with pressure cookers was when grandma would be pressure canning.  Can't even remember what it was she canned like that...very long time ago - think it may have been beats .  I do remember she would never let us kids in the kitchen while doing it.  Always told us it was too dangerous!  Knowing grandma she may have just wanted us little monsters outside and out of her hair

Yup, sounds like a party!

What I like about this place..... the humor is my kind of humor.

This year we've invited my friends (RIP Jack) wife and her son's family (5) over for a home cooked fresh turkey dinner with all the fixins. Time for me to get to plucking 2 birds for dinner this year and a house full of 15-18 people.

[T Pearce]

Plucking? This will be a special dinner for sure.
God Bless
