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!

It was a 9lb turkey - rather like an overlarge chicken. I figured if I was going to screw up, I wanted to screw up on a small scale.

30 min prep. 2-1/2 to 3 hrs in oven. (wouldn't have taken so long to prep, but I've become a handwashing freak around raw meat ever since I got into aseptic stuff at work. Microbes give me the oogies.)

*sniffle* am I really a big girl now? I have finally "arrived" ... by reading my "gourmet cooking for idiots" and following it step by step. who would have thought the path was so straight! LOL
