My cooking triumphs
Figuring out my Dad's Giblet Gravy Recipe after he passed away suddenly AND after my oven broke, figuring out how to make a good Giblet Gravy when we had to deep fry the turkey. Also fun. . . creating our own brine, injection solution and seasoning rub for the turkey.
My cooking tragedies
First Turkey on my own (after my Dad passed away) had almost NO DRIPPINGS.
Had to rush out to store for Turkey broth!
