I love Thanksgiving. I love everything about it. Turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, pies...I'll take it all. It is by far my favorite meal and today I found out that my husband has a very special talent. I had no idea that when we got married that I had unknowingly committed my life to the best turkey roaster ever! Who knew?!?
Since Rhode Island insists on being so far from our families, we decided to scoop up our east coast family and host Thanksgiving at our house...we do have that fabulous dining table after all. Dividing up Thanksgiving prep, I tasked my sweet husband with the big job of cooking the turkey. Like any project you give to Todd, he took his turkey duty very seriously. This morning he got up at 4am ::yikes:: to throw our 14 pound turkey in a 8 hour bath of salt and vegetable stock. Then he stuffed the cavity with onions and apples for flavor and roasted it to perfection. It was the most moist turkey I have ever had. He timed it perfectly and had it ready, carved and on our table at exactly the right time. My husband is so dreamy. ::stares lovingly at hubs::
Even though we couldn't be with our families this year we still had a great day with great food and great friends. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
