This is my deep fried Thanksgiving turkey recipe. The Bird: Use a 12-17 lbs turkey. Anything smaller and you’re wasting time with the fryer. Anything too much bigger and it won’t fit. The Rub: I just use Zatarain’s cajun seasoning. Nothing fancy. The Marinade: 2 tsp – garlic powder 2 tsp – kosher or sea […]
This weekend I was able to get all of the front end accessories onto the car, work on some odds and ends electrical items, modify the battery tray to fit with the new motor, drop a new battery in, clearance the distributor to miss the lower intake and fill the motor with oil. I thought […]
Today, on October 17th, 2012, just 5 days after Hailey’s 1st month birthday, Hailey achieved a major milestone. While this week was that of her first medical appointment, when we found out that she had grown nearly an inch and put on a full 2lbs (a 28% increase over her birth weight), these feats were not […]
After a more than successful first night dining out with Hailey, Elaine and I decided it was time to try for a happy hour. So off we ventured to walk around the Highlands. We decided stop by an old favorite, O’Shea. Luckily our friends Chris and Heather were able to join us. Haley decided that […]
It has been just over 9 long months since Elaine and I have been out to a sushi restaurant for dinner. Due to the (slight) risk to the baby from consuming raw food or anything that had been prepared around raw food, I (Dan) essential banned sushi from our diet until Hailey was born. Now […]
Short Version: Contractions through the night. Regular and stronger contractions from about 8am. Got to the hospital at 10:15am. All back labor, no pain meds or epidural. Popped out a baby at 1:42pm. Epic Version: Dan: The fun began on the night of Sept 11th. Elaine spent most of the night waking up once or […]

Having a kid will make you think about your finances like never before. It’s amazing how excited placing your hand on your wife’s stomach can make you feel. Why does a person that is only 3% of my body weight require twice as many pieces of clothing than what I own? Some day, I’m going […]
This year, we mad our first trip to a Home-a-rama. And now, the home improvement itch has hit. Elaine commented that it was the closest thing that she’s come to actually shopping for a home. Which may be true. I had already purchased this house prior to her moving to Louisville. And who really shops […]
From my childhood, I have memories of cookouts where a marinade similar to this was often used and the recipe closely guarded. Looking back on how much I enjoyed this, I attempted to recreate it.
