From the blue waters, to the green of ramps, though the red of finger chiles, we got you though most of the spectrum. Not infrared though, that would be weird.

Howdy Meatketeers, the main social media goblin is taking a short winter's nap, so we may be a little quieter than usual. Now, go forth and meat!

Brought home a couple turkey legs last week and cured them. Confitted them Friday. Today, I made turkey cassoulet and turkey rillettes.

I don’t want to force anybody into anything, but it’s a great time for Jason Segel to release a full length puppet-led vampire musical.

Important note for people just learning how to cook: stop clubbing tomatoes to death. Get a decent knife. It's magical, a revelation. You will learn to curse cheapass knives and treasure good ones.

We're going to try again tomorrow, folks. We have said the words, and carved the runes, and offered the proper sacrifices to The Dark Gods of Commercial Refrigeration, and should be up and running by noon, Sun.

Say nice things to your Refrigerator Dryads, y'all. They work hard.

We may or may not be open today, Meatketeers. We're experiencing technical difficulties.

Watch this space and I'll keep everybody posted if we managed to cobble everything back together.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

Samuel Beckett wrote of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, something very like, "if you do not like it, you are not pure enough to receive it."

I've listened to folks dissing turkey all month.

What tedium, as Sam B would say. It's delicious.

Not trying to drag anyone at all, but you guys?

That's it! We're done! See you cats on Saturday. We're off Thursday and Friday to eat turkey and to do what we really want to do this November.

We are open 11 until 2 PM today, and right now it's just me and larry here. Come visit. Buy some discounted turkey bits.

Maybe even buy my emotional support pork neck bone.

The turkey is indigenous to the Americas, and is An Abomination Unto Nuggan.

I'm more of an Omnian, but quite agree, today, with Nuggan despite his wee mustache.

(This joke has been written entirely in pTerry, aka, Terry Pratchett, and, if you don't get it, I'm sorry. Tired.)

I'm just excited as poop. Next year is going to be extra.
very excited to see what happens to grocery prices when we impose large tariffs on our two largest agricultural trading partners
This is going to be an absolute mess y’all.

Oh my lord n' butter was today a lot.

But I got to debone a duck AND teach others how AND bare my teeth at someone asking me to do a math midway through.

Stupid math-er! Can't talk. Stabbin'.
