Since Cindy had three days off for Thanksgiving (She's been with the Post and Courier five years now.), we decided to have our Thanksgiving at Huntington Beach State Park. It's an SC park an easy two hours north of our house. Actually, our first two choices: Edisto Beach and Hunting Island, were full when Cindy learned of her pleasant surprise. We filled up the tank before we started out. It took 90 gallons at a very pleasant $2.559. Our last fill up was in Gulfport, MS. Setting up was uneventful. The dish found the satellite through the trees although I did have to call DirecTV because some authorizations had expired on this receiver.
The next step was to mix up the brine with which to immerse the turkey overnight. Since there were just three of us, we are doing a 6.5 pound turkey breast. We have a less than full sized convection/microwave oven and just two range top propane burners, so some careful scheduling is required. Tomorrow morning Durelle will make the stuffing and set it aside to be rewarmed in the microwave while the cooked turkey is "resting" and I am making the gravy. One of the two burners will be used for a pot of small boiling onions and the other for the butternut squash. We'll skip the potato. The pumpkin pie will be baked while we are eating dinner.
The temperature at 4:00 is 68 and the sky is clear. We expect a cool night of 40 or a little less. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures of the feast.

Can't wait to see the photo's. The size of the RV oven and three burner range top in our trailer is another reason why we (me especially) are learning to enjoy the Dutch Oven. Can burn a lot of charcoal before learning the timing to start up a fresh batch to keep the oven hot for three hours.
