I am happy & thrilled to report that I am no longer a Thanksgiving Turkey Virgin! Mr B & I have DONE IT...cooked a Thanksgiving turkey, that is! Now-we have hosted before and been responsible for quite a few fixins' but we have always chickened out when it came to the turkey and ordered from our local smokin' bbq place. Not this year. We girded our loins, made a trip to the grocery, and Mr B got busy feelin' up breasts in the frozen section....and stood up with a 25 lb'er cradled in his arms with a lustful look of love at first sight written across his face. I however was in wide-eyed, speechless shock. This turkey was SO BIG that it looked like a kindergartner who required adoption papers and an interview with a social worker. I mean, we had NEVER cooked a turkey before, and we were gonna start with a bird that required a new oven be installed in the kitchen?!? Well, never fear: Honey to the Rescue! Mr B's mama has never in her life been afraid of a side of wild-a-beast whether feathered or furred. So we called her up, and she hustled on over with bags of implements & necessities...and Voila! The magic happened and Mr B and I are turkey virgins no longer. Everyone went home happy & stuffed silly. What more could a former turkey virgin ask for?!?
Hope ya'll are having fun getting your HOLIDAY ON!!!
You make it sound so simple! Did you cook it upside down? Did you use select vocabulary? Not a word about any misadventures?
