Adam, great post. But two questions have continued to plague me, in spite of this brilliant treatment. What I need to know, and what inquiring minds desperately seek to understand, is: a) Really, how funky is your chicken? and, b) Just how loose is your goose?
'Cause if your turkey is that moist, I can't even fathom the funky-osity of which your chicken must partake, and the sheer looseness of your goose. I mean, if a goose is THAT loose, how does it even keep it together? Huh? Riddle me this...

Who knew Adam could play the piano? Encore!

Thanks Meg! Good thing I didn't employ my piano skillz in our Battle Foie Gras or you'd be toast! (Brioche toast with sour cherry preserves.)

Adam, I think you meant "Sour grapes?" Should I correct your comment?

Please feature more videos of your grandmother. I'm serious, she looks like one rockin' lady. I'd also love a copy of her recipe for apple cobbler, it looked awesome.

Your grandmother can sure shake a leg!
Glad to see I wasn't the only one to post holiday dancing footage.

Very entertaining post, but what about gravy? That can hold things up at the last minute and there's never enough.

And hooray for brining! :)

I told him not to brine the turkey! Did he listen? Obviously he didn't.
Congrats on opening day!
