Here she is, Miss America
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 02:19PM 
We're joining 20 people in Sea Cliff for this year's Thanksgiving feast. I'm in charge of the birds. Rather than trying to roast one giant bird I'm roasting two smaller American Bronze turkeys from McDonald Farm, one 6.5 pounds and one 12 pounds. I'm doing the dry brine and then carrying them in an insulated bag over the Long Island Railroad. Think it'll work?
I'll also be whipping up some chicken liver pate and this pear, walnut and brandy cranberry sauce, and making a gravy with turkey stock and apple cider. Otherwise our hostess has her own vision for this dinner and it's going to be grand: cornbread stuffing with pork sausage, creamed onions, pumpkin soup, squash, salads, tart, pies.
I am thankful for all the farmers who raised the food we'll be eating this weekend. And I am thankful for the friends we'll share the meal with and for our families near and far. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
