Thanks Giving Day

[Ang Monsoon]

SOS US brothers n sisters!! All suggestions for thanksgiving day celebrations are welcome...I've got the Nigella Lawson book "Feast, Food That Celebrates Life", which I think is a great read, although when it came to following the instructions for Xmas last year I did get a bit bogged down in prose...can't have everything...and it covers thanksgiving day...but i'd like us to do it in style, in proper American fashion...any minutiae (sp?) about traditions i'm sure i'd lap up like an enthusiastic puppy....hope you don't mind me borrowing this celebration....

I'll share my recipe for turkey:

Lin’s Favorite Turkey

• 1 12 lb turkey
• 1 cup melted butter
• 1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm preferred)
• 1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350°.
Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.
Listen carefully for the popping sounds.
When the turkey's ass blows the oven door open and the turkey flies across the room, it's done.
