    The turkey was dry. Usually I use a Reynolds oven bag but bought a generic one this time, and it didn't do a good job. Other than that, everything was pretty good.

    We have not had ours yet. But Saturday will tell the tale. But I'm thinking it will be fantastic.

    I was a little shocked at the amount of fat that came from the bird. In past years I could count on enough juices to make gravy. Just to be sure I added 1 cup of stock to the baking pan before roasting.

    When I poured everything out into one of those fat separators, there was nothing but 2 cups of fat. The bird was very moist, but I wonder what they are doing to get these birds so fat. Had to use chicken stock to make the gravy.

    It was a 20 pound fresh Butterball.

    What is it about cooking all day that ruins my appetite? Everything was delicious, we haven't had dessert yet. But I had one small plate, and I'm totally full. Anyone else who cooks all day ever notice this?

    Yes, but usually because I eat as I cook.

    LOL!!!!!

    Mr. Dinah was on my LAST damn nerve. He started drinking early, and then wanted to bitch while I had food flickin' everywhere. Oh, and by the time everything was done, he "took a nap" only to wake up and get on my nerves some more. He's snoring now.
