A 'Heritage Turkey' story with a juicy plot...
...from the minute we arrived...food over there...food over here...
...so much food...I am not sure I can survive...
...mixing and stirring ingredients for a magical meals delight...
...gourmet 'Texas' cornbread stuffing souffle lead to a fight...
...out of the oven came the bird...but something was not quite right...Were there buzzards circling my plight?
...proud Chef E with her gravy...what a beautiful sight...
...and then some how someone slipped this in on me...what a night!
...on the third day it was still good, but I was ready to heave...
...did I mention walking along the sound in between courses, days, and just before we leave...
There was more than one bottle of wine...C C Manhatten...Stelling & Stelling Fariente...Long Island Vodka Shots...fireside Friday wineries...followed by massive amounts of tea...
With dessert of course...
