You Bomba's are too kind for words, welcoming me to the fold like that. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship (I need a relative with access to a four wheel drive, in exchange I bring to the table a family tree that goes back to the Mayflower and a place to stop over in W. Dennis or NJ).
We persevered on Turkey Day with six of 18 showing up, two were two hours late because they...well whatever it was I can be thankful for they did it on the way and not in my house. One of the joys of a range-fed, antibiotic-free, 18lb., slow cooked, brined turkey is it doesn't dry out if some of your guests stop on the way to sample mushrooms. I was a little bummed the brandy pyrotechnics I had planned didn't pan out, but the dish was a success and gave some of the younger crowd a new appreciation for brussels sprouts. I was feeling no pain after the Yellowtail Cab-Sauv-Blanc kicked in, the better part of two bottles and some Frangelica later I declared it a total success in the face of adversity and called it a day.
Well now, my new brothers, to whom should I send my xmas list?
