I once went to a coworker's Christmas gathering and seeing he had a big can of Raid on the back of the stove. Didn't eat much that day.
Raid is not all that toxic to humans.  It might make you feel a bit funny if you sprayed it on your tongue.  It's an ACE inhibitor, with action  similar to that of nerve agent, but far less potent, fortunately.
If you have such an insect infestation in your house that you need a can of RAID on your stove, it's probably not the RAID that I'm worried about ingesting--it's anything and everything.

I've gone back a ways and bumped a few threads, but 3 years?!?!?

I can't compete with that
I thought we had a more recent one, but this was the top one that came up when I Searched.

Well, there was another one from Area51, but I was terrified of clicking on that link. '

So Mr. N's classic from 2018, it is.

I just realized my wife's grandma will be staying with us. Which is good, she is from Jamaica and cooks some mean oxtail. Though she has dementia so maybe I better keep an eye on things so she doesn't put strychnine in the peas.
Why would you have strychnine in you spice rack? Expecting some court room adversaries to stop by or does that pair well with Jamaican Oxtail?

Yeah our oven-baked turkeys at grandma's house from days of yore were pretty dry. 
When I was but a lad I remember my GM and aunt packed the Bird in a clay cooker they soaked I think.Spiced,butterd then covered it with foil.Damn that was moist and delicious after unpacking.Of course we tossed the skin or gave it to the dogs as it wasn't crisp at all but the rest of it got no complaints

A little bit gives you that extra sensation. Like a chili pepper that numbs your heart

This is my wine tasting menu, wines for Thanksgiving, tonight here in the bldg.

Gruet Brut Rose  (Tower)                                                              $13.49
 
Cline Viognier  North Coast, CA     (Tower)                               $11.99
 
Sancerre      Charles Debourges    (Costco)                                 $18.89
 
Daou cabernet sauvignon  (Tower)                                               $20.99
 
Gruet (Gru-AY) is a French family making wine in New Mexico, usually sparkling, usually good at the price.  Vigonier is one of the lost white wines for me, something chardonnay drinkers can like as a change.  Sancerre is one of my personal favorites, sauvignon blanc, with a clear expression of terroir.  It’s also a beautiful town on a hill.  And Daou makes an easy drinking cab at a decent pr

Decided not to do the thanksgiving thing this year.  Going to Vegas and leaving the kids and their families to fend for themselves instead of having the locals over and having to deal with all of it.
