Do Turkeys Enjoy Thanksgiving?

Despite the sentiment, I love this weekend. To me, this is a groovy four days away from work, an opportunity to cook some of my favorite food (hickory smoked turkey, oyster dressing), and the mark of another year on earth as my birthday always falls on or adjacent to Thanksgiving weekend. I call it "birthday festival weekend."

OK, I'm outta here. I still need to get five loaves of French bread and three quarts of oysters. Check out some of the links below to some of my favorite Thanksgiving surfing. Have a fun weekend, and see you next week.
