    Thanksgiving food prep thread

    Stuffing made with High Life is my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. You have to bring it up to a boil fairly slow or it foams up too fast but it's worth it.

    NFA Wait Times

    I just got four back in 13 days. Last three in December took 17 days. I can't complain but it's still ridiculous how long some people have been waiting. Mine are all individual E file at a big sporting goods store.
