Turkey Day

Stuffed...but not with turkey. My third Thanksgiving at Marblehead has been as much fun as the second...and the first, except that I'm not leaving for Australia tomorrow (sigh). A real Thanksgiving definitely makes up for not being able to use the holiday (and the week around it) to take off...almost. Okay yeah, it does. This is just the itch to be on the road again speaking.

Back to the turkey. It was kosher this year so everyone could eat it. Me? I tried a bite. Great for a turkey (even for a bird) but I'm psychologically turned off birds now thanks to Mr. Pollan. I was never really on the four-legged critters and I'm sorry, I can't give up sushi (yes, that does make me a bit of a hypocrite in my support of sustainable, natural, free range/organic - call it what you will - rearing). That being said, I partake of the piscine species about once a month so I hope I'm not doing too much harm.

Still debating on where to go over New Year's eve...I might, unbelievably, stay in town and work on my composting and baking ideas. Vive la New York!
