I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seats, clicking refresh, just dying to know what I did with all of that turkey meat I hauled off the field and field dressed. Right?
Right?.... Is this thing on?
The moment has come! First up, is Whiskey Glazed Turkey Breast. Turkey and whiskey, what could not…
I know it is a bit early, but I bet some of you are already wondering what to make for Easter.
Are you feeling a little provocative? A tad tongue-in-cheek?

After I spent the day solving the "plague of pigs" crisis a few weeks ago, I began a hog cooking extravaganza. There were so many parts to break down and ponder.
