Today's turkey, BTW, was the best I've managed since Linda turned the turkey cooking over to me. I used a Cook's Illustrated recipe which recommends using a flavorful bird (ours was a Diestel petite turkey - 9 lbs.) and then brining it (overnight in the fridge in water salted at the rate of 1/2 cup salt per gallon of water). Roasting at 400 degrees consisted of 45 minutes breast down, followed by 45 minutes breast up, followed by a 30 minute rest before carving. The meat was moist, almost juicy. The cornbread and sausage stuffing was on the dry side (I think I missed something in the recipe) and I overcooked the green beans, but the yam soup (my 'gourmet' touch) and Silver Palate mashed potatoes came out well...

Giving thanks: among the many things I have to be thankful for, there's a new, small one. I was able to jog this morning. Short run, 3 miles (Linda split off and did the tough Stanford Dish hills) but I made it and the ribs don't hurt. Today is the 2-week anniversary of the Minneapolis crash and a few weeks ahead of my doctor's prediction...
