Barb, I love mixing corn with just about anything, especially when it's paired with bacon.  The two seem to go together perfectly.  (I'll pass on the salmon....not a fan ~ but you ENJOY!)

 I like to do that with leftover brats ~ little slits in the brat and then rolled around in a hot pan until it gets a 'snap' when you bite into it.

Lore - the sweetness of those Yukon Golds is the perfect side with the pork & sauerkraut.  The sweet/sour taste is really good.  Sometimes I do that with smoked beef sausage when I don't want to take the time to cook down a fresh (smoked) hock.  Good stuff!
Jimmy, did you brown up the outside of the brat to make it have crispy bits?

I did like you did once. I spiral cut all around the each brat!
I baked them in the toaster oven with the convection fan at 350, for like 25 minutes. Oh they were so crispy and crunchy!
I had hot mustard mixed with hot sauce to dip the crispy fork fulls.
Then the baked beans. Bush's brand. I got a name for the brats made that way..... BBB's .... "Beths Baked Brats"..... Now say that fast 5 times.
hahahahahah.... I fumble the first thung thied thing..... shucks!

I'll do better next time.  I used Kitchen Bouquet and butter along with poultry seasoning for a baste.  The recipe said allow 15 to 20 minutes per pound.  That's 5 to 7 hours for a 21lb turkey.  This one was done after only a little more than 3 hours.  I have cut it and wrapped it in foil and keeping it warm in the oven along with gravy, dressing, green beans, creamed corn, buttermilk mashed potatoes and gravy.  I am going to keep notes to myself until after Thanksgiving because my sister reads my facebook and maybe my blog too.  Charlie probably won't be home for another 45 minutes (-or+) so I'll find out how well things can be made ahead and kept warm and still be good.

Thanks Jimmy. Here is a picture of the rest of the meal. I only took one picture of it and it didn't turn out very well but here it is anyway. Cassie's sisters' kids were there and Charlie invited our neighbor over and sent a lot home with her so there weren't many left overs.

.............."The recipe said allow 15 to 20 minutes per pound. That's 5 to 7 hours for a 21lb turkey."

FIVE TO SEVEN HOURS???? For a turkey? Where the heck did that recipe come from? The same place our mother's got that information and decided they had to start the turkey in the oven at 4 a.m. ?????

It does look good. And there's so much you can do with a turkey ~ it really shouldn't be just for the one lonely Thursday in November.

The thing to consider, is ???? at what temperature oven.
I did a 23 Lb. in the oven foil covered at 225ºF in at 4:00 and out at 1:00 to eat at 2:30. The last 30 minutes at 350 Uncovered to brown. The bones pulled right out of the flesh. hahahahahahaha.... the priest said to me,"Now son, have you commited any sins of the flesh?" ..... I said, "Yes Father, but my mother punished me for it already!" ..... Priest said,"And what was the extent of the sin child?" ..... I said,"Well, Mom had the turkey all cooked, and I picked off and ate the crispy FLESH off of the whole turkey!" ....... Crying or Very sad

Actually, 5 to 7 hours sounds right to me if it is stuffed.

This was the Nesco recipe and 15 to 20 minutes per pound was for unstuffed, 30 to 40 minutes per pound for stuffed.

How did you manage to get the crust brown and crispy? I think I tried a Nesco once and my turkey looked like it had been boiled.

It was 100 yesterday then we got some strong wind, black clouds, thunder and rain. The temp went from 100 to 80 in 15 minutes. Then it stayed there and steamed. UGH! Today may be a repeat of yesterday. I have some leftover pasta salad I need to get rid of. Yesterday we had chicken. What can I have with it today?

If I needed   20lbs of turkey, I would roast (smoke/grill) 2 10lb-ers..lol..


My freezer went out,I thought,so I cut up a 10lb turkey and threw it in the oven.On a rack. That thing was done in hour half..Best dang turkey lol.

The old man ( like me NOW ) we lived next door to when we were in our 30,s, used to say, "I found a new way to cook the turkey!" .... He said,"I boil it for one hour, then I crank the oven up to 500, and one more hour in the oven to brown it, and it's done nice and juicy!"....

OH!.... it was juicy all right.  Raw!.....and pink inside.

I have often thought that if people like turkey so much, why only serve it Thanksgiving?  It really is a bargain bird.  Get two or three of them when they are on special at Thanksgiving.  I'm not that crazy about it.  I occasionally will get just a breast and make that.

I was at a total loss as to what to fix for supper....so I perused through my Photobucket account and when I came to a pic of Taco Salad, well, I knew I had what was needed, including some avacados to make guacamole.

I want what you had!

But Dane gets in a snit if I plan pasta. He thinks it's too much carbs for him. But he'll eat a baked white potato with no problem.

So, pasta will be on my menu plan pretty soon.....

My Roomie just showed me her late night snack she had last night: she tried to eat her ear plugs.Then she tried to eat a wet washcloth. My DH and I are in stitches. She needs to see her sleep disorder doctor for a change in meds.

Hot as hell again so I am making tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. I had all of this basil I needed to use up.

Jimmy did OK today! A rice cake plain in the am with my pills.
Lunch was nothing to speak of. Supper at 5 for me, was cod steamed with onions and tomatoes in wine and olive oil. Just salt and pepper and a dusting of oregano.
I saved a piece ( 4"x 2" ) for breakfast on my egg omelet tomorrow!

Gabe had Swedish meatballs with gravy washed off. He hates gravy of any kind. Tater tots, and Green /Giant cut green beans. A slice of raisin bread toasted and cut into strips with no butter. He gets sick from butter. PITA

Good job, Jimmy. Glad you're holding down the fort while Tina is busy with her aunt. Hope she's not over-doing it with the caretaking....she's in my prayers.

She is in complete control, and her Uncle said,"I want only the best for my wife!"
I will say it so as others have said.  He did get the best! He's got his wonderful neice,....."Tina".

I basted about 4 times with a browning sauce made up of 1 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet, 1/4 C. melted butter and seasoned with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.
