The breakfast in this hotel is horrific, as you would expect Comfort Inn free breakfast to be. Waiting for the little woman to shower and we’re heading to a diner.

Last week we were in San Diego and the buffet breakfast was $36 per person, almost $90 for the two of us with tip (x5 days!). Here it’s free and horrible.

Seems like there should be a middle ground.

There is. Hie thee to a Denny's. Or a Panera. Damn near anywhere but a free breakfast at a cheap hotel. The only thing I will eat at one of those is Raisin Bran with a banana.

[jon-nyc]

They have neither. White bread for toasting, four sugary cereals, scrambled eggs sitting hours in a warmer, and a waffle machine. The whole place smells like fake syrup.

We’re basically going to a local version of a Denny’s.

It wasn’t practical in SD as we were in a hotel attached to the convention center and any such breakfast would have been an uber away, which would pretty much eat up the savings.

Annnd we use the term 'eggs' loosely. Ugh.

The supermarket had lots of seasoned turkeys in aluminum roasting pans tonight, for like $2.00 per pound.

Gonna make a big pot of turkey gumbo and freeze it.

Gumbo does freeze well. I think it may actually get better...

I don’t know why they say 10. It’s 42 recipes.

Hmm, I may grab a few breasts to experiment around with. I think smoking turkey may possibly be up there with my fajitas for my best grilling/smoking recipes.

The gumbo is very successful. As good as anything I had in NOLA. Andouille, turkey, trinity, a great very dark roux, spices, rice. Everything but the roux was easy. That takes time.

Ain't the first time he's said that...

[Mik]

Gonna get his hand smacked. Or worse.

[Mik]

Just a steel Dutch oven.
