If I ever have a lasting legacy, I want Thanksturkey day to be it.

Is there nothing better than Thanksgiving dinner with friends - cooking and drinking all day - then stuffing yourself with wonderful food and turning in early due to food coma? Let me answer that for you: NOPE. WINNER = YOU!

Saturday will be the first Thanksturkey day - *almost* six months after Thanksgiving. The turkey is currently thawing out in my refridgerator, and I went grocery shopping tonight to pick up all the wonderful ingredients.

I will consider the meal a success if nobody gets food poisoning ... HAH. (Just kidding. I don't think anybody who's coming actually reads this blog)

Last Thanksgiving, I got a lot of shit cause I cooked the bird upside down (breast down). Well, the turkey turned out DELICIOUS, so I'm going to do it again. Except this time, I will do it on purpose.

And it will be glorious.

Here was the turkey from Thanksgiving '07:

upside down actually makes sense since the drippings go to moisturize the parts that you eat. There's nothing to eat on the back of the bird.

Do I see a Julie & Julia copycat in you?

the only downside is it doesn't look as good - the breast doesn't get very browned. but once you carve it, does anybody really care?

you haven't seen the movie? It is a chick flick after all.

Of course she covered Julia Child's book in 365 days, so you'll have to idolize Martin Yan or some other legendary Asian Chef.
