A sharp cranberry sensationIn 1999, our second Thanksgiving together, we hosted dinner for eight of our friends. My partner Mike organized and cooked what looked like a fantastic feast of Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My sole responsibility was to prepare the cranberries.
Fire that turkeyMy wife and I were invited to her sister's house for Thanksgiving. The brother in law wanted to use his new oil turkey cooker. We set it up in the backyard, away from the house, on the patio.
How NOT to give yourself food poisoning for ThanksgivingFIfteen years ago, we moved to Napa, got married and bought a condo. We were excited to have Thanksgiving in our first home, and invited over my husband’s parents.
Keeping a watch on the birdTwenty years ago this Thanksgiving was the first major holiday away from my East Coast family. I was newly in love with a guy named Tom and decided I would cook my first turkey in my apartment in San Francisco.
The whole day came crashing downWhile visiting with my son and daughter-in-law in Florida, I rashly volunteered to do the turkey dinner for about 15 people. Upon a brief inventory of available pots, pans, and utensils, I discovered to my horror that they had virtually no cooking equipment other than an electric frying pan and the stove itself.
