Turkey can be very good. Sometimes though, it is tough and stringy.
Dressing is usually palatable, but sometimes one is forced to eat
the gummy wonderbread dressing if there is no cornbread dressing.

Pumpkin pie is usually good, but rarely better than sweet potatoe pie.

I usually say **** on all this.

Now, I'm putting on my wood shoes. druce will tell us what to eat soon.

Or maybe Popeye will give us a recipe from the old sailor's
harem up in brooklyn

I agree it's difficult to cook both the white meat and the dark meat
to the perfect degrees of doneness. I manage it about 9 times out of 10.

I'm never forced to eat the gritty cornbread dressing; I only make it
using soft white bread.

> Pumpkin pie is usually good, but rarely better than sweet potatoe pie.

I agree. Sadly, it's not worth my making pie for just myself. I
usually settle for pumpkin pie from the bakery.
