It took over three decades, but I finally cooked a turkey. Thanksgiving was intimate this year, just Ariel and I. It started with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – not the one on TV though. The night before the parade many of the floats are driven up 10th avenue. So around 10:30 PM the cops block off all the cross streets and up come the pieces. We stare out our window and watch the procession. Not quite glamorous, but a whole lot less crowded than the real parade – and no danger of falling street lamps.
As far as the turkey, I dug through a large pile of frozen birds and the smallest I could find was 12 pounds. Therefore it’s been all turkey all the time since Thanksgiving night. It turned out very well. I did the whole shebang – turkey, in the bird stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, asparagus, and even gravy. Next year I’ll shoot for dessert as well. Here’s the before and after pics.
Congratulations!
Awesome pics, Matt!
