i KNEW it!
Posted by stacey at November 27, 2003 01:56 PMThree of you and two big assed turkeys? gah-lee! we have 1 20lber and 6 people, barely made a dent in the damn thing. doug was up at 5am stuffing roasted garlic cloves (36 to be exact) under the skin. we roasted that bastard from 5:30am to 1pm at 225 degrees. came out perfect. my mom made the Best Gravy Ever, thanks to all that garlicaliciousness in the birds. I asked doug where the giblets were he told me there weren't any -- just a really big turkey neck.
The giblets were in another part of the bird and got roasted in bag. guess the dogs get a treat. they won't eat them raw!
happy turkey day. glad jax got to go do some community love. much love from massachusetts to yous guys.

Posted by christine at November 27, 2003 04:15 PMok. i always do two turkeys. i rarely cook only one meal at a time. i've got at least four more meals in the freezer from the turkey leftovers. nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah. every year i say the gravy is the best it's ever been, but this year it's true! 'twas a wonderful dinner.

Posted by TW at November 27, 2003 09:49 PMBrilliant Bill ! I thought as much Stacey - we have roast lamb, turkey, chicken and gammon at Christmas - only because we then have meals for the next couple of days too. Not only are we beautiful, we are such intelligent woman too *wink, lol*.
Bill - I have to say that I absolutely hate the feel of raw chicken or turkey and do not enjoy sticking up hand into the inside of the bird. I don't mind touching chicken fillet pieces but the skin makes my own skin crawl with goosebumps.

Sounds like a wonderfully successful day.
Had a good one around here, too. Many laughs at my folks with one of my sibs present and his kids. Just the right mix of people this year. Not everyone, but not the same tensions. It was fun!
And this evening after all that food? I'm experiencing sleep-writing, Bill, trying to get that NaNo finished! I'll have to tell all on the blog tomorrow. How fun is that!

Posted by Anji at November 28, 2003 01:05 AMThanksgiving day is now just one calorie induced blur but I know I had a good time.
I hope you all did too.
Turkey... you had turkey for Thanksgiving... we are much more original at our place... Chicken! Yep, that is what the grandchildren voted on.. .and you can't disappoint grandchildren just because the ADULTS think it should be turkey... can you?
