I suppose the cooking of a turkey could start here:
65 dollars and 81 cents. This bird’s life… Seems cheap, doesn’t it? I wrestle with our ability to take life from other species on this planet to feed ourselves. And yet I do it and will likely keep on doing it. This 20.25lb (!) turkey will feed at least nine people this afternoon, and quite possible inhabit sandwiches for days to come.
It’s heart, about the size of my two thumbs put together.
…and because the preparation of the (two) stuffing(s) is a time-sensitive affair and conducted between 7am and 9am this Sunday morning, I was unable to collect my brain into its usual bone basket to take a photo of it trussed up, here it is already in the oven.
And last, not least, here is the master of the house wondering just when the heck his portion will be doled out.
