Thanksgiving 2011

Yesterday, the family descended on Martine and Dave's house, armed with healthy appetites and serious intent to wreak bodily harm on two unpardoned turkeys.

What a Cutie!

 All three of our girls were there with their husbands - not all of their husbands, just one each - and, exceptionally, all grandchildren and great grandchildren were in town for the day. Awesome! First time this group has been complete for quite some time.
With a traditional oven roasted turkey competing with a second, deep fried, turkey one would have thought the occasion well suited to an orderly and regulated evaluation of which method produces the best flavor. No such luck. By zero hour, 2:00 PM, both Meleagris ocellata, as these cute little birdies are known, were carved and by 2:15 PM the rabble were snarling at each other over the remains. So much for science.
