Thanksgiving
Bird is the word
Thursday, November 26th, 2009 | pdX | No Comments
I’m about to embark on a journey—one like never before. This is my fist year in charge of cooking the Thanksgiving turkey, and I’m staring at a 12-pound bird, wondering what exactly I’m going to do with it. Guess I’ll start here with the giblets.
I’m actually more nervous about the gravy. No one did it better than grandma, because back in the olden days you could get away with loading it with salt and extra drippings … which is why it tasted so good. Of course, it’s not so good for my giblets.
On that note … I’d like to give thanks to all the people in my life. And to you … happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for reading. I’ll let The Trashmen take us out.
