Thanksgiving at Erin's!

This is hardly a vegetarian post, but it is a culinary post, and that's what counts.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and my friend Erin has graciously offered her comfortable abode as a meeting place for us graduate students and other young persons to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner together.

So let's make a plan.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I WILL COOK TWO SMALL TURKEYS, AND I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS ON TURKEY RECIPES. Otherwise everyone will have to bear my strange, experimental cooking ways.

Post if you'd like to contribute a dish! Jo, I know you're ready to pounce, so go right ahead! q:

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

This post looks kind of lonely, so let's have a first comment!

Also if I'm going to roast a turkey or two, I might as well add another contribution:

ROASTED VEGETABLES AND POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY.

All right, guys. Let's hear from you.

Turkey puffs and corn- That's my specialty, or should I say Francesca's, or ... should I say moi? Heck, why do we have choices again?

Hey! As in the case of maths, let's not worry about who gets their name attached to the result, and let's just enjoy the tasty result of turkey puffs!

Thanks for posting.

hey Jo: it was no problem at all. Perhaps I was worried about nothing at all, after all .. still, it makes me wonder what would have happened if I hadn't don't that bit of butchery in mid-roast. Oh well. It all worked out, possibly because of my propensity for knives and violence.

Say, do you want any turkey leftovers? We have about ..

* 2 medium Tupperware containers
* 1 small Ziploc bag
* and 1 side of breast meat portion

.. of turket meat left, as well as 1 quart of turkey broth (some which we'll freeze for keeping). This morning I felt like a cook from colonial times, carving the turkey remainders and using efficiently every last bit of meat and fat and skin.
