Ruining a really good turkey
My sister-in-law's husband made a turkey. He went and bought a fresh
brined one from Whole Foods. I don't remember the laundry list of
stuff he seasoned it with, but sage was not on the list and thyme,
rosematy and CILANTRO were. My son didn't say anything until we were
on the way home in the car, but he was very disappointed, and asked if
we could have Thanksgiving at our house from now on because the turkey
"tasted like crap." I was also disappointed because he cooked it
upside down, but never flipped it, so my favorite part, the crispy
wing tips, didn't happen. The cheapest frozen turkey, seasoned and
roasted more traditionally would have been so much better than his
pricey exercise in *creativity*.
I very much enjoyed the company, but I guess if I want the turkey done
right...
Lynne Rossetto Kasper was on the radio this morning, with her suck up
to the audience attitude. She was praising this idiot who was making
canned greens with freakin' Slim Jims from a vending machine.
