Turkey breast ... before cooking

Stuffing ... dressing ... the real star!

Turkey is just the side dish!

Pumpkin pie in the oven ...

Baked yams ...

Nothing "candied" here! No marshmellows! Dark brwon sugar, spices, dark rum. Butter! Bake!

Cranberry relish ...

Cooking while tasting the ruby red port ...

You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
You give your life for rock n' roll [or libraries]
