Sorry about your sad dessert! My creme brûlée was lovely.
Getting laid and caring (hoping everyone did and does) notwithstanding, how did everyone's birds come out?
I smoked half of an 18 pounder and sous vide'd the other half. As nice as the smoky flavor is, I think I'm going all sous vide next year. It's so easy (brines itself through the long cook) and comes out absolutely ridiculous moist and perfectly done, light and dark meats alike, and the flavor is terrific (just not smoky).
I might try torching the skin after the bath instead of the broiler for a more even crust, but goddammit it's tasty and a big hit with the eaters.

Are you ready to Roast?
We did a dry brine of just salt and pepper on a free range organic bird. It was small enough we didn’t even bother to spatchcock it. Right before cooking we put a few pads of unsalted butter under the skin. High heat initially to get some color then lowered the heat.
Dry brined birds cooks so much faster. Our 10 lb one cooked in less than two hours.
Got some “best turkey I’ve ever had” comments from people.

I hadn’t noticed that but will pay more attention next time
Really enjoy the dry brine birds
Re: timing
I need to learn how to set the temp thermometer in the right spot the first time. The alarm went off after 1.5 hrs for a unstuffed 12.5# bird. I re-probed it to check and sure enough I found a colder spot. I’m a big fan of my temp alarm...so much more confident about cook timing

You really need 2 thermometers, on in the breast, the other in the legs. You're aiming for 155/185 at the exact same time before resting. If you spatch, you can just cut and remove the done parts and tent if you can't get them to hit at the same right time.
My 13.5 lb. bird was done cooking in under 2 hours. One day wet brine, 2 days dry brine. Fantastic.

When you dry brine after wet brinning, do you leave uncovered, tent or wrap it up?

The secret to a good bbq bird is to use a rotisserie.

Despite it all I'm still cooking but instead of eating together I will deliver meals. It's all good and it's still all the work. Just made cranberry sauce now onto pumpking pie and cornbread for the stuffing. Tomorrow is last minute grocery shopping, make-ahead mashed potatoes and brining the turkey. Thursday will be finishing the stuffing, roasting delicata squash and throwing the turkey on the grill.

I’m not a huge fan of turkey and am pretty meh on the traditional sides. I started an uprising and got the kids on board for a low country TGiving boil, but we got squashed by mom and granny. Deep fried turkey it is.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

24lb bird in brine. Yeah parents bought the bird. I said "about 15lbs". Well apparently it was 12lb or 20+ so what you figure they did? I'll be surprised if cuomo doesn't send swat to my house. Btw 6 total people, all interacting since day one covid. Only 2 don't live in house, but 5 min away.

Hard to find small birds around here. Asked my wife to get a 12-14lb, she came home with a 23 pounder, smallest she could find
