Happy T'day

Unknown

Well, dinner is over, the guests have left (finally), and it is time to reflect on a spectacular meal. QBabe outdid herself! The turkey was a little slower than we expected, took about 6 hours instead of 5, probably because the egg wanted to run a bit cooler today...about 300 instead of 325. But it was worth the wait.[p]While the brisket was superb, probably the best I ever had, it sort of paled in comparison to the turkey. This bird was perfect, that is all there is to it, she can never do another, because it can't live up to this one, the bar has been set too high. [p]The side dishes were also great, and I should probably remember what they were, but I can't get the memory of the turkey out of my head. The one outstanding side was the cranberry-pear chutney...who knew that cranberries could taste good with turkey?[p]When she recovers from all of the cooking, I am sure that she will post (no pics his time, the guests were swarming too much), but I wanted to take this opportunity to sing her praises, and wish all a Happy Thanksgiving.[p]Larry
