In honor of your holiday, I'm roasting a turkey today.

Nah. We've simply used up the stock left from our last turkey and
it's time to make more.

Yesterday I dry-brined the turkey.

Stuffing is underway. The sausage is crumbled and cooked, the onions
and celery are frying. Jars of sage and crushed hot pepper flakes
sit on the counter awaiting my husband's master hand with the spicing.

Once the turkey goes in the oven, I'll start mowing the lawn, which
has gotten very shaggy in the last week of rain and mild temperatures.
