gerisullivan | So, I went to the grocery store...

...and this fresh turkey followed me home. (Cheeky of it, eh? I went in thinking that crab legs would make a quick'n'easy Thanksgiving Day feast.) The bird came with claims of no antibiotics, no pre-injected basting mix, and all vegetarian feed. I'm not all that convinced about the last bit, but

galacticvoyeur showed me the taste difference between industrial turkeys and the less-processed ones. Ever since, if I'm going to go to the trouble of roasting a turkey, I pay a lot more attention to which turkey I roast.

Accompanied by fresh asparagus, boxes stuffing w/cranberries, a can of jumbo pitted black olives, a bag of cranberries, and the makings for a pumpkin pie...which cost considerably more than just buying a store-made pie. I've never before made a pumpkin pie, even if from canned pumpkin, but I have these yummu Penzey spices and am curious.

Tomorrow there will be turkey. And after that, there will be leftovers.
