Each year, I cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, like many others. Sometimes, it doesn’t turn out very well (two years back, I set off the smoke alarms with my turkey cooking). This year, though, the turkey was practically perfect. I stuffed it with oranges, lemons, apples, cinnamon and ginger, and coated the skin with lemon, orange, a little vinegar, a little olive oil, and a lot of various spices (including rosemary, which I love).
Unlike last year, I also cooked the turkey the right-side up (don’t ask: I think I was drinking while cooking last year). My wife made mashed yams and the stuffing, while I worked on the normal mashed potatoes. It’s rare when everything comes together so well. Next year should be a total disaster.
