Saturday, November 24, 2007 - THANKSGIVING

Well, I’ve been on my New England Thanksgiving tour.  We went to my Mother’s in Law for Thanksgiving.  It went as well, OK, better, than I thought it would.  I had no chance to “Kick it up a notch!”, but that’s OK by me.  It was as old New England as you could ask for and I had no reason to change it, or desire to.  After that, it was off to my parents in Western Massachusetts and to a different, yet great dinner.

Meanwhile, Michael Ruhlman is posting about turkey stock and rocking my world!  I make my own stock as often as I can and I always having trouble with it.  I always get it boiling and boiling makes it cloudy!  So, what does Ruhlman do?  He uses his head while mine is stuck in stock pot!  He says, instead of trying to keep it just under a boil on the stove top, stick it in the oven!! 

I hate him.
