First time trying Cinnamon Rolls, weather is cold, wet, windy...good day to try.
Watched this:
I did use a stand up mixer....I chose this recipe as it was half the size of others and less waste if i mucked it up.
Then I assembled this:
Used a Baking dish vs a metal pan so decreased heat by 25 degrees.
20 mins @ 350* F Should have let cooled before applying glaze but happy with the results for a first timer.

OJ concentrate in the icing.

Weather is over cast today...a few sprinkles here and there. Home game today Seahawks vs Eagles.
Decided to make a test run with an upside down Turkey....I hate dry white meat. Had an extra 12lb bird on hand, so decided to give it a shot.
Wasn't going to take pics, but mise well document the flop or success either way.
I did stuff this bird with traditional seasoned bread stuffing, onion, celery, butter, broth, 1 egg then used some truss skewers to sew it up and keep the stuffing inside because of the weight pushing down on the cavity.
Sitting on a bed of carrots, celery, onion and 2 cups leftover broth from simmering the giblets.
It's already had 20 mins at 325*...foil tent removed for the pic.
Plan is 3.5 hrs upside down, then flip, check temps and see where it's at.
Never done this before, sort of a Frankenbird experiment. Going for flavor over looks..tick tock, tick tock.

3 hrs Breast down at 325* then with a little work, turned it over and removed the foil for another 1hr at 325*
Pulled it at 180* thigh temp.....rest time was 45 mins
In a word..Success!!! Very moist throughout, everything was done perfectly, Breast meat remains juicy even an hr after slicing.
Skin is not crisp, but I expected that....while I love the skin, the moist bird was a great trade off.
Probably wouldn't try it with anything larger because of the flipping process...12-13 lbs was perfect.
Right out of the oven and resting.
1hr and 45mins total time after rest and slicing.

Nice I hate dry turkey too...
Look at that moistness!

The trick is in the resting. Allow the bird to rest for 45min to a hour. When i cook a breast for sammiches i dont even carve it until its totally cool.
Just adding recent stuff here so I don't forget it.

My attempt at Scotch Eggs
Details:
1lb jimmy dean sausage
4 soft boiled eggs (4 mins then submerged into ice water bath)
1 tsp goatweed powder
chives
salt and pepper in the flour
eggwash with milk
Progresso italian bread crumbs (didn't have panko.
cooked 5 mins at 350*
Fresno pepper dipping sauce
Next time adjustments:
Omit salt
adjust temp to 325* for 4 mins
Bread crumbs were great, will use panko next go around.

Second attempt....Excellent!!!
Great taste, flavor is spot on, panko crust is the shizzle!!
Batch was perfect for 6 scotch eggs total.
4 mins on the eggs then into ice water bath is the bare minimum. I like a runny yolk but small amounts of the whites could use a few more seconds.
If you want to use this as a guide I suggest 4.5 minutes before placing into ice water.
Adjustments:
Beer brats casings removed
Omited salt from flour
Panko
Deep fried 4 mins at 310* - 320*
