Thanksgiving 2009

A holiday classic: the Deep-Fried Turkey.

Ahh yes, the annual stuffing of the faces. My Thanksgiving this year was spent with far more people than ever before, and probably made it one of the best holidays that I can remember. At one meal (yes, there were two!) we had a wonderful brined and oven-roasted bird, a 12 lbs fresh one. It was delicious. Then, at meal #2, three different birds were served. One, as pictured here, was deep fried (I think my favorite), one was smoked (overnight) and the third was grilled (no parenthetical comment needed). All three were wonderful, and the food that went along with them was great.

So, now we’re officially in the Christmas season. The gift buying, the extreme deals on stuff (already seen a few this Cyber Monday), and more food. I hope to keep eating…and eating…and eating…
