My Thanksgiving Dinner

This year I bought an organic, cage-free 11 lb turkey for our annual meal of thanks. It was delicious! I'd not had such turkey before --- it was light and flavorful and juicy. I didn't miss the salt that comes with the frozen rocks from the grocery store. Nor do I think I'll go back to eating them next year. I am not a huge turkey fan, but this year was different. I think eating an animal that was treated humanely while it lived and killed quickly with dignity for my table is not only ethical, but more flavorful. I can honestly say I was thankful for that bird.

We had the usual sides, sweet potatoes with marshmallow, creamed corn, green beans, and pork sausage stuffing. Of course, we had pumpkin pie for dessert. Oh, and red wine...lots of red wine.
