Saturday after Thanksgiving (11/27) BHB Turkey Fry

[Scuba_Jenny]

Add me for a gallon of canola oil. Will add more to bring to the list as I figure out what to bring, and what is needed.

Jim is anyone bringing a turkey cooker or is 1 enough? I have 1 with a 30gal tank. Let me know....

In the past, we have used one fryer and 3 turkeys. It has worked out well, but I am not the person using the fryer. I will leave this up to Walter who has been cooking the turkeys for all previous meetings.

Great! KBeck is also in for a gallon of oil. That makes three gallons.

Walter, is 3 gallons enough? We appear to be just a bit smaller group this year vs. last year. Last year we counted between 60 & 65 total people at the party

60-65! Was there actually room in the water? Or were there also a lot of non-diving family/friends?

Oh it's not so bad having a bunch of dive buddies with you.

Put me down for 2: I'm bringing Tall Guy. Nov 27 is actually our wedding anniversary so I suppose we should spend it together. Although #28 is not exactly a big whoop-tee-do.

Jet, 28 is great. Donna and I are working on 32. Very cool.

Jim, if I bring a gallon, that makes 4 I think. Add them up again and let me know if I should bring one.

One fryer should be plenty, two would speed things up, but would require more oil. A 30 gallon fryer is way too big.

Walter, is 3 gallons enough?

We have 4 gallons lined up. If that's a little too much, we can save it for next year. Things are looking good on oil.

Jim, if I bring a gallon, that makes 4 I think. Add them up again and let me know if I should bring one.

Bring it. It makes 4, but it's better to be a little over than a little under.

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

I think I made 2 key lime pies last year, and make them again.

 

[D2Diver]

:turkey: is in the freezer waiting to move to the thrawing stage next week.
I am debating what else to bring. Need to find out what my other carpool dive buddies are thinking of bringing so we can coordinate.
Is anyone not diving or do we start the process after the dive? I see HT is 12:22

How late do y'all plan on hanging out up there? I'm working my day job till 6pm, but am off the hook from my night job. Would love to see everybody, but couldn't get up there till around 7 pm.
