Yeah, we do our Thanksgiving a bit earlier than you. Something to do with northern latitudes, earlier harvests, being really freaking cold in November, you know...

Our Thanksgiving is more of a harvest festival with less of the "Pilgrim" thing. It also has nothing to do with department stores, football or Christmas inventory buildup

There are two times of year you don't see wild turkeys around here... turkey season (April) and Thanksgiving.

OK, Thanksgiving is over and back to work. It was a pretty good weekend... smoked turkey, deep-fried turkey, and I even tossed a spiral ham in the masonry heater's oven and had a few people over myself.

I'm burning the grease out of the masonry heater now

the more I hear about your masonry oven I crave it! I have always loved the taste of smoke and fire on food such as pizza, steaks, turkey, ham...etc.
