Happy turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving all! Tom and I were at the Gobble-Gobble-Gobble, Somerville Road Runner's annual Thanksgiving Day road race, celebrating ten years since my friend Cindy first introduced me to him at the race in '98. Always makes for a fun story when people ask how I met my husband!

This afternoon we deep-fried a turkey for the first time. We've heard horror stories about how folks have almost burned down their houses, so yes, a fire extinguisher was on hand! In the end, no flames and probably one of the best, juiciest turkeys I've ever had. Clean-up, however, is bound to be a pain -- we're hoping the oil coagulates overnight and we can scoop it out, but I'm wondering if it will be cold enough...
