Let's talk Turkey

I cooked a turkey last night. My first turkey ever. And all by myself.

It came out awesome. I get home from work at 7pm, so it was in the oven at 8pm. I wasn't planning on actually having any, but I surrendered to the smell and the golden skin when it came out of the oven. It was scrummy!

On a cooking-track record note, Yay me! I didn't burn it. Woot!

Go you!

A few years back my sister called on the phone to say she wanted to be in charge of cooking the Christmas turkey at Mom's. She thought it was high time she should learn how. I told her it was just like roasting a chicken.

After a few moments of silence I said into the phone "You've never roasted a chicken?"
Her response was: "No, but I'm a Southern woman. I can fry ANYTHING!"
