This year, we are in charge of the bird. Make that bird(s). Since my Domestic Associate detests turkey, he's been on a 22 year (I can't answer for before I met him) mission to make it palatable to him. This year's offerings are pepper smoked turkey and citrus fried turkey. Both of them brining as we 'speak'. I'm waiting for Alton to tell us that sometimes you just have to cut the bad part of the onion out, and then I'll be all set. R.
