the turkey was, in the end, completely worth the second mortgage we had to take out in order to acquire it. a veritable triumph of a turkey. tender, juicy, really the best one ever. but i'm a bit exhausted, so i'll have to tell stories about it tomorrow.
so for now i'll just say that i'm thankful for such interesting, funny, erudite, well-traveled, intellectual friends and family. it was indeed a privilege to share a bit of my cultural imperialism tradition with them. and i was really impressed with how much they ate. and drank. brilliant.
Ah there you are. Hoorah , a total triumph!!

The turkey looks divine! We did Cornish hens this year instead, since it was just hubs, me, and the two chilluns. Guess who roasted them upside down? *shakes head* I totally was NOT paying attention! Waiting impatiently for more details on your Thanksgiving! Now go take a nap...
ReplyDeletei say, that is quite a bird. glad it was such a success after the trouble it gave you beforehand... happy thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYep, impressive indeed!!!! I did just a breast and we're still eating leftovers... gah!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is, I must say, a very brilliant bird!

Tales of culinary woe are always funny -- especially if you know (as I did beforehand, from seeing this picture) that all turned out extremely WELL.
