Great looking cook Ross. I thought I had some nice looking finished skin on Turkeys but that finish on the skin is beautiful indeed.

Wonder if you ever attract the neighbors with all that wonderful cooking you do.

Ross, that looks great. If I liked turkey, I think that is how I would like it best.

I see that you had the same weather issue we had. The sun was really bright and the sky was just too blue. You gotta love winter in So. Cal.

Have a great holiday week end.
