I'm Only the Trombone Player

Thanksgiving in June?

So, yesterday we, kinda sorta celebrated Thanksgiving in June, which is appropriate given the Christmas in July schtick.

We had an off-the-bone turkey breast in the freezer, and we decided to cook it. I brined it in a beer-based brine overnight and cooked it on the Weber charcoal grill. It took about three hours, using two chimneys of charcoal.

We rounded out the menu with baked sweet potatoes, regular baked potatoes, cauliflower cooked on the pellet smoker, and corn on the cob, wrapped in foil and grilled.

The cauliflower was an experiment, and one we won't repeat. It received four out of five NO votes. Back to the drawing board on that one!

Everything else turned out great and was well received.

The best part is that it was something a bit different, challenging, and fun to cook.

Tonight, I'm grilling my version of Teriyaki Chicken Tenders, along with leftover baked potatoes and corn on the cob.
