My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating.

Are you cooking something other than turkey this year? Or maybe preparing your turkey in a non-traditional way?

    Spreading the prep out is key!

    I’ll look around for capon here. I’m sure we’ve got it at a farmer’s market.

      Definitely. Also, organization, so you have everything where it needs to be.

      The other secret is to only invite people you like. Makes it easier to go through all the work.

        100% agree on both points. Also maybe only people who get along with each other. No arguments during a time of thanks and togetherness, please.

          Unless it’s a fun argument.

          Like which is a better tv show, Babylon 5 or firefly.
