Ok - the biggest food day of the year has arrived, G and I are in full swing, we are adding menu items daily. Yesterday was all about side dishes, today the turkey is being delivered, tomorrow is "prep" day and pie making. Here we go!
First issue -- Ordering a 26 pound turkey was possibly not the best idea, not sure if we have a roasting pan big enough, G is bringing one from her home, hopefully it works out. Also perhaps 26 pounds was a bit more than required, we are 10 people this year so that works out to approximately 2 pounds of turkey per person.......a bit much.
We are trying a free range "Willie Bird" turkey this year, supposedly it is the best. My guys who usually eat anything that can be topped with a gallon of ketchup seem to be finicky when it comes to turkey, they are very concerned that it might be too dry. Its a tough crowd, I have promised to deliver a succulent moist turkey this year. Wish us luck.
