Happy Turkey day!!!

[ellen_datlow]

It's one of my favorite holidays because I (perhaps in the minority among friends with more sophisticated palates) LOVE turkey and all the trimmings. Although my favorite stuffing using chestnuts, sausage and stuff like that rather than a lot of bread-like substances. I'm going over to my friend Claire's (great cook) for the big meal. She's teaching her niece to roast a turkey. Someone else is bringing dessert and I'm bringing wine and cheese.

Things I'm thankful for:

the whole family

Dinah
and

Bella

friends who I love
work that I love
Good health which I cherish
The opportunities to travel all over the world
An apartment rental that is cozy and homey and relatively reasonably priced in an expensive city
New York which I love

On the whole a very good life.

I guess my palate isn't too sophisticated, because I LOVE Thanksgiving and particularly stuffing. Ours has sausage, raisins, apples, and walnuts. MMM.

Happy T-Day!

I love turkey, too, especially the cranberry sauce which must always be made from scratch. Yum! I often roast the potatoes all afternoon in the oven while the turkey cooks. I wrap them in aluminum foil packets with carrots and onions and spices and pull them out as needed. Gravy is a very important part of the equation as well.

Okay, I've now made myself hungry and it's not even Thanksgiving here! Enjoy the day. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! I like potatoes cooked for a long time as well. Yummmm.

One of these days, I'm going to have to fix up a tandoori turkey for you and Pat, and just sit back to watch the expressions on your faces. There's something to be said about a turkey so moist yet grease-free that you can take a chunk of cold white meat, squeeze it, and watch the juice run down your arm.

Thank you all everyone and I hope you've had as delicious a Thanksgiving as I have. I got a few leftovers, too.

Someone else is brining dessert

I know about brining turkey, but dessert...?

*departs, on endless fruitless search to find someone who might be thankful for a pedant...*
