Planning our Thanksgiving has been interesting. We originally wanted to have all our family over here. Our dining room is such that we can actually fit 12 people in it. The problem is that our living room can't handle that many people. And isn't lounging around one of the great parts of Thanksgiving, both before and after the meal?
So, instead we are having it at Mark's mother's place. Which is much larger.
Since we were going to provide the whole meal at our place, we were going to do the same at Olivia's. I was going to order the whole thing from
Draeger's, a chi-chi grocer in the area. I figure if you are going to get a prepared meal, splurge on the best.
That is, until my BIL called last night and asked if we would mind if they ordered a Turducken instead. Are you familiar with the Turducken? Here's a photo and a description:
Turducken It's been gaining popularity in the South, mainly Cajun country, for years, and is now poised to turn the heads of the rest of the country. A tantalizing triumvirate of tastes (turkey, duck and chicken) combine for one of the most uniquely delicious food items we've ever come across. A partially deboned turkey stuffed with a partially deboned duck, stuffed with a fully deboned chicken, layered in between with a mouth-watering Cajun cornbread and pork stuffing. 15 lbs. Approx. 25-30 servings.
Interested in ordering one? There are tons of places on the web to find one. Here's a
link to just one of them.
Have any of you had one of these things? I figured I would still order all the side dishes (including more stuffing) to make it a traditional Thanksgiving, but this will definitely put some pizazz into things!

So I had grand intentions of driving out to Half Moon Bay today with the family to cut down a gorgeous Christmas tree, really I did.
