Good for you kid. We are eating with our friend Duck and being chicken with the holiday.

One thing about it, John, it's a heck of a lot easier handling a little bird than a big bird! Hope you enjoy the rolls as much as I do. I'll look forward to the pictorial report.

Bonnie! Smoked turkey. That sounds wonderful. And it should make for some great hot turkey sandwiches with the left-overs. Yum!

As we speak, my HIGHLY experimental pie is in the oven. I'm calling it The Thing because it's a scary mixture of a couple of different recipes and includes substitutions. Yikes!

Well now I don't have to do anything but the turkey and it is already smoked so that is a matter of re-heat. Now to remember to get it out of the freezer tomorrow. (our day will be Sunday)

We don't do thanksgiving in these here parts but Graham and I are beginning to think about our Christmas feast. We've decided to drop the trad turkey, too, in favour of a nice big free-range organic-fed and kept chicken. I've started looking for a suitable candidate already and will zap it in the freezer when I find it; if by some magical chance in the immediate pre-Christmas rush I should find another I'll buy that for the day. We shall call one of them 'Belt' and the other 'Braces'.

That one hour yeast rolls recipe/method looks fabulous, Dee, and I shall be trying it out pronto, report and pictures will be forthcoming.

No kidding, Wendy? I wondered about that because the wild turkeys around here look pretty scrawny -- and tough -- too. I'm delighted you found affinity with the roll recipe. May you enjoy them in good health!

Dee, they bred him up special (or at last fed him up) just for the photo. I grew up in PA and, in the wild, turkeys there are just as scrawny and silly looking as they are down here in NC.

Those rolls, however, are a whole 'nother matter. That's the recipe I've been after for years. Bless Mary Capps for it--may she continue to live long and well. Same to you for sharing it.
