Let's first get the elephant out of the room. This blog will never be really frequently updated. So, I'm just going to have to live with that and you are just going to have to forgive me. I forgive myself.
Now, for the real deal. This year, Thanksgiving is happening a little differently. Normally, my sister and I slave all day in the kitchen to eat at my mom's house with our loved ones, always a different crowd. I take on the task (labor of love, really) of planning the recipes, trying new dishes, man-handeling the bird and timing the whole ordeal. This year, we're blending families as I am soon to be a real Kincaid, afterall! The beauty of this blend is two-fold:
1) What could possibly be better than being with ALL of your favorite peeps, celebrating our fortune in this great country
2) "Turkey Throwdown"
I've never been an athlete or mathlete or totally awesome at scrabble. I'm not the type of gal to win at poker or take the pot during March Madness...but I am competitive with my cooking and this year I will make the perfect bird. This year, two turkeys are happening. And even though I am creating the competition in my own head, my bird will prevail.I take great joy in the Thanksgiving turkey. In fact, I believe I actually have pictures of birds past...all golden and juicy with glory. This year must be the best ever.
Let's meet the contenders thus far, shall we?
I'll call this the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) Turkey. Ironically, it's formally called the "Michigander Way" and Adam's family is from Michigan (fate?)

I'm leaning heavily on the Michigan bird but certainly in pursuit of the most delectable bird.
