turkey day

Is it wrong that I get such joy out of making my Butterball turkey dance on the kitchen counter? I mean, you should see him (or her?) Tootsie Roll. To the left, to the left…

It’s inspiring.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

*** update ***
pumpkin pie? done.

    Who, I suspect, would make a poor Thanksgiving entree.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  • I guess the old saying is true — you can get anything to dance, if you’re willing to stuff bread crumbs up its butt.

    Or, um, something like that. Maybe.

    okay, so this is an advice free zone…………..can I call this a TIP and still get away with it?

    • get a tea-towel the thickness of cheesecloth, or actual cheesecloth, big enough to cover your turkey.

    • soak it in a bit of olive/veg. oil, not a lot, just enough to cover the whole thing

    • season the top of the turkey

    • lay the cloth overtop

    • baste every 1/2 hour – when the juice is avail – until done

    why am I tipin” you this? ’cause I know fish wants nothing less than a flawless dinner. it works everytime!

  • happy thanksgiving fish
