Those spatchcocked birds look flirty, yet bashful at the same time.

Thank god I now can’t stand feeling stuffed! I enjoy it all much more the following day. Once someone suggested taking some of each item, wrapping well, freezing it. I did this and ate it a month later and it was so delicious, very welcome!

A DISASTER is potentially looming…when H took the turkey out of the brine, he noticed it turned all brown. Turns out he used blackstrap molasses instead of regular molasses. I think it will burnish/ brown to a nice color, but I hope the strong molasses won’t impart too much of a flavor. He used only 1/4 cup. To say he’s in a fowl mood at the moment is not an exaggeration! But it is what it is - will let you know how it turns out. I see a Bloody Mary in my immediate future.

Can’t wait to hear, but it’s not a true Thanksgiving without at least one disaster! Fingers crossed.

Make that Bloody and see what happens. I’m sure it will turn out just fine

Who knows, it could turn out to be the best turkey ever. Even if it’s not that great, it is just food, and not a great tragedy after all. Yes, the bloody, made with gin is just the ticket!
