I may not be able to kill my own turkey after all.  They start doing the birds on Sunday, and I'm working that day.  Tomorrow I may end up visiting the farm, however.  I'll finally put a face to the turkey/pig lady and the operation responsible for the biggest part of my holiday feast.  So much to do.  Thanksgiving is a mere six days away. 

I tried the first of my two gobbler recipes the other night.  I don't think that it was the winner.  Anytime lemon is a large part of the turkey equation, it seems to be a little much.  Hopefully my remaining recipe, being more traditional, will do the trick.  By the by, a friend of mine suggested that I post the recipes I'm trying in the blog.  I thought it was a good idea.  They will be included in my epi-blogue (my afterword for the gobbleblog).  It'll be available for the diehards.

This coming weekend is going to be head-spinning.  Gathering all of the ingredients I'll need, picking up the turkey, testing my final contender for how it is prepared, straightening up the house, working up a schedule for timing the big to-do, gathering up the ingredients I had forgotten, setting up the dining room (we picked up the centerpiece and a runner whilst in Ireland)...There's also some minor asthetics to tend to while I'm on about the dining room (we recently redid it for this occasion), a large part of which has to do with the window treatments that are on order.  Not to mention keeping this blog up to date.  Twelve people may as well be fifty when you're down to the wire.

I expect it will be loads of fun, though, and quite satisfying if all ends well.  Either way, it will be a story worth telling.  Check back.
