There are a few interesting events coming up soon for me. To start, I am attending a beer dinner hosted by Garret Oliver of the Brooklyn Brewery on Thursday. Also, I’ve received word from CityDusk, a new events company in Manhattan that I’ll be working/writing for, that my first event will be going down January 20th. We are still working out some details, but I can guarantee you it will be awesome and involve delicious beer.

Despite these ridiculously awesome coming-soons, I am happier to report that I will be having some friends over for a GiveThanksAgainGiving Day. Basically, I decided that I really want to fry a turkey and since the Thanksgiving is now really far away—and I don’t think my family would want to stand out in the cold with me while attending a vat of hot, boiling oil—I am going to have some friends enjoy a delicious fried feast with me. A year or two ago I found this schematic for a safe way to fry turkey via Alton Brown. However, you can rest assure that I will be using a coat hanger to lower my turkey into 350-degrees of hot fat.

Pictures coming soon.
