My favorite holiday is fast approaching, and I am getting very
excited for it. Who wouldn’t? It is all about food!!! My Aussie husband didn’t take long to adapt
to the American traditions surrounding Thanksgiving, once he realized that important
fact. We have been invited to other people’s homes
for the last few years, so it has been a while since I have had to face the
ordeal of cooking The Turkey. Now, I can
roast a chicken like nobody’s business, and have even mastered duck.

But turkey?
It frightens me. No matter what
delectable side dishes you present for the rest of the meal, the guests will
always remember the turkey. Was it dry? Was it flavorless? No one will eat it, (even under a gallon of gravy)
and you will be stuck with turkey leftovers for weeks. I normally love leftovers, but really – there
is only so much you can do with turkey. I
have tried many different ways of preparing it, even going so far as to roast
it inside a paper grocery bag like my aunt used to, but it never turns out like
I envision it should. And that is why I am happy to leave that to
others. I will make some lovely side
dish, and perhaps an appetizer. We’ll
take a nice bottle of Port or Madeira. And
I will enjoy the undoubtedly delicious turkey prepared by our hosts.
