I had as traditional a Thanksgiving meal as I've had in years.  Roast turkey, mashed taters, yams, stuffing made properly with ground giblets and a bit of pork sausage (and cooked INSIDE the bird dammit), mixed veggies, croissants, cranberry sauce (whole and canned), and various olives, relishes, and mixed nuts on the table. 

The green been casserole was conspicuously absent, and we'll  have to discuss both the gravy oversight and misplaced delicious pie incident, but overall good job Mom!

Scotty, we had pretty much the same meal except I inject mine with a Belgian Dark Strong Ale.

Gluttony has its place but if you're serious about cranberries, we should talk.

Happy belly aches, everyone!

My extended family (a large portion of it anyway) dined on 2 turkeys (they were named Hall & Oates), stuffing, green bean casserole, céleri rémoulade, a carrot and rutabaga casserole, stuffed mushrooms, and cranberry sauce.  Various wines, sparkling juices, Orangina, and mineral waters accompanied the meal.  Later a dessert consisting of pecan, pumpkin, and chocolate cream pies with whip cream and ice cream was served.  There was a musical interlude between the meal and the dessert course.

Is your whole family gay?

No, just a bunch of funny, smart, and talented people.

I was going to make the dipping sauce at Christmas since I didn't now.  While searching for that link I found this but if you have something else I will certainly give it a try.

My better half is the authority on all things cranberry. I'll ask her and get back to you. That way too I don't prompt local growers to string me up from the highest tree. Like they need another reason.

I saved some cranberries to put on my peanut butter sandwich at breakfast.

I guess it all depends on how fast the coke boiled out of the can inside the turkey. I'm assuming pretty quickly. Then the cola would mostly flow down to the bottom of the boil pot and do two things: 1) The water would flash off into steam causing incredible boiling, possibly even an overflow of oil into the burner causing a fireball and 2) the caramel color and sugar would burn themselves to the bottom of the pot, ruining the pot and all of the oil in it.

Put the marinade into the meat through as few holes as possible, trying not to disturb the skin. All of the flavor will stay inside the skin and if you want turkey that tastes like phosphoric acid and high fructose corn syrup, that's the way to do it.
