BBQ a turkey
Hi,just a simple covered kettle.I was told to put a pan under the turkey for the drippings and spread the coals around.Add coals as it cooks about 15 min per pound.What do think?Any other ideas?Thanks
My oven is broken
Its so old they don't make the part anymore.I am having Thanksgiving at my house so I thought I would BBQ the Turkey.Have no idea. How long? Would appreciate any suggestions.
where to buy lobster or shellfish stock
Maybe Bay Cities Deli on Linclon Blvd in Santa Monica.I'm surprised Surfas didn't have it.
Taco truck on rose
in Venice.Had the taco de carnitas.Sat in my car and said to myself "O my god" this is the best taco I've ever had.The pork was Crisp on the outside,tender with chopped onions,cilantro.Served on the side grilled onions and roasted chile's.The guy next to me was eating a cerviche tostado that looked really good.Thats what I'm getting next.

Alternatives to "LOBSTER" with a view?
There arn't any really good seafood restaurants around here with a view.You have to find the View and hope for the best.Mostly your grilled fish type nothing fancy.The Charthouse on P.C.H,The Penthouse(for a view) they probably have a good fish.
