It's still the work week over here but a get together is planned for Saturday. The four kilo turkey in Paris is going for "a very reasonable €40" as I was told. (That's almost $60 for an 8.8 pound bird.) The upside is that the the best turkey I ever had was a black feathered turkey from the market on rue Levis. They are not the same steroid infused freaks of nature that you find in the US and taste great.
Some of the critical issues to be addressed today include:
- Stuffing or dressing? Or both?What else? Any fun family traditions or stories?
- Red wine, white wine or beer?
- Who really knows how to carve a turkey? (The Times has help here.)
- Football after the meal, talking with the family or a nap?
- Will the lovable family pooch manage to grab the turkey this year as it cools? Hey, it was just sittin' there, OK?
