Here's the recipe for a freezer-burn turkey from my university lab.

Autoclave Turkey by CSU Avian Metaphysics* Dept.

1) Find a past-dated frozen turkey (that some moron work-study student labeled incorrectly but had a valid barcode showing it is more than one year old).

2) Defrost the dubious turkey in a 9C refrigerator for 24-30 hours.

3) Place defrosted turkey in stainless steel carcass tub with a few unpeeled onions, a bulb of garlic, turnip, pinto beans, etc. and cover with aluminum foil.

4) Using one your spare Autoclaves, cook at 121–140°C (2 bar) for 10 minutes.

5) Depressurize properly.

6) Uncover, throw away all the onion and garlic husks, and reserve the "juice" and pinto beans in the refrigerator to separate off most of the fat.

7) Collect the turkey's meat that's falling off the bones in nice shreds.

8) In a huge pot combine the turkey shreds, "juice" and chile or taco seasoning.

9) Serve turkey taco or turkey chile to all your friends. One autoclaved turkey can feed 30 starving grad students cooked this way.

*My field lab shown above had signage on the remote, high-security buidings identifying it as "Avian Metaphysics" which was an inside joke because our federally-funded Avian Science research had dual use---either studying avian flu or creating biowar tools.

I thought the Dutch Christmas involved lynching some black bloke with a typically Northern European/Aryan PC name like N**ger Pete, or something like that...

Great, so now we know you ALSO worked on weaponising avian flue...

Great...

Do you have more little surprise like this that make the simple fact of knowing you being banned from any security clearance job in most non muslim countries of the planet ?

While in some case it's much closer to that:

Upon more careful reading it appears there is an absence of Turkey (I promised the Mrs.), but thanks anyway

I did find this list: http://metropolis.co.jp/specials/976/976_top.htm

Still have mine in the freezer ready... if Taro agree to lend you an autoclave, you're good to go...

Dragging a turkey carcass to Chiba on Sunday. Friend's mom's place has a nice "Merican size oven,so we do an Xmas turkey party and BBQ there every year. Cool shit was the friend's g-ma (we're talking older than Greji here) said that she had never eaten turkey until I made one at their place. Watery eyes on that one....fuck you...I'm a sensitive guy.

[Coligny]

Speaking ab00t experimental cooking (blame Taro... again... kthxbye)...

Me Julie just created non sour sauerkraut...

And I think we can add this to the list of Japanese atrocities committed during the war... postdateduly...

Have to get the cooking table a restraining order against her...

Nope, you are 3 weeks off. The real Sinterklaas gives his presents on 5 December. The rest of the world worships a fake one, invented by the Merikans.

But especially for you, AlJazeera prepared an interesting discussion on it (yawn). So, if you want to loose more than 30 minutes of your life...

They want to change Dutch culture! What an arrogance!

We have a unique culture! With 2 seasons: bad weather and fornicating bad weather...

Noooo, sireee...deyze carn be doin that 'no boy. Weez gonna be keepin' tings juz za way dayz ullah been....

Grew up in an area filled with immigrants whose names were "de" this, or "van der" that and they all grew tulips and ate salty licorice. Also famous for shitty weather, but I didn't know that was the fault of the Clog Wogs (as we people of a less enlightened age referred to those of Dutch origin at the time). Mind you, everything was the Dutchies' fault....(until the "real" <and swarthy, non-Aryan> wogs from Italy and Greece came along, then it became their fault, followed by the Vietnamese, Chinese and now Sudanese).

[yanpa]

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of swarthy, non-Aryan dudes complaining about the white English-speaking tea-swilling trash who were unceremoniously dumped on the shores of their pristine West Island a couple of centuries back

Nah - anybody complaining was just shot or hounded into the dessert..

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

....Nah - anybody complaining was just shot or hounded into the dessert..

Slightly different response where I grew up, where after-dinner mints were the norm.

After-dinner mints were the height of sophistication back then weren't they? I can't stand them and just the thought of them and I can taste them - takes me back.

Kev Bloody Wilson's grandpa used to get fed after-dinner mints so he'd sneeze on the Xmas tree and they could get tinsel...

Went to Rotis in Roppongi last night ( 24th ) for the Xmas Buffet. 4800 yen 90 minutes. They had turkey and roast beef. Honey baked ham with all the gravies and sauces. The best new food dish I tried was Hummus! I loved it. Wine menu was adequate. I left very full and drunk. Today and tomorrow are the last days.

[GomiGirl]

Last night was the 23rd wasn't it?

Are Roti OK with tables for 1?

[Yokohammer]

I'm surprised you even bothered.

But ...

P.S. Can't wait to hear the excuse about someone changing the date after he posted it correctly.

[McTojo]

That is so unfair. I went with a date. A Japanese Jukujo ( new one), and NO I didn't not pay for her time. It was not an escort either. Yes. The date I wrote was an oversight. I went on the 23rd after spending all day celebrating the Emperor's birthday. Something you heathens couldn't appreciate.

By the way, if anyone goes up there, please please, tell the waitress - skinny one with the cute face - that I like her. She should remember me. Fat guy. She should remember me.
