Thanksgiving

I am overwhelmed with thanks, most of all for the people in my life.  No need for sappiness here, so I will stay on task.  I adore THANKSGIVING (regardless of its basis on partial myth).  Mom, I love you, and I can't wait for our make-up Turkey Day on Sunday
:-D
(AND, I think this might solve our little disagreement about using the bathtub to brine the turkey, DRY BRINE!! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/dining/111trex.html)

In the meantime, we will make a fantastic day for the many families coming into the restaurant!

P.S.- there were about a gazillion appetizer, side dish, and dessert recipes I've fallen in love with over the past month or so of passing through a plethora of fabulous menus on the web, magazines filled with magnificent turkeycentric spreads, and TV specials devoted to the gobblingly glorious legend of the Pilgrim and Indian feast.  Unfortunately, my classes are dominating my time and energy now as finals deadlines are closing in.  I can't share as much with you as I like---lame, I know.  Once finals are over, I will be more active about my blogging and I am looking forward to it!

For now...Happy Turkey (or even Tofurkey) Day!!

The largest single cell is found inside the...

Have you seen one?  Have you touched one?  Have you sunny-sided one up and brunched one down with a side of turkey bacon?

Maybe I am a bit more sheltered than some, but my first encounter was at Whole Foods earlier this year.  Prior to that, the closest I came was at the Fuddruckers in NJ--but that was an Ostrich Burger.  

Rumor has it they are quite tasty, but before you go all out, take some notes:

They are approximately 3 pounds, so work up that appetite!  

And, if you are the thrifty type, you can avoid the $40 price tag by taking a trip here:
