  • There are no drippings for gravy.
  • The half-bird fillet doesn’t cover as much of the stuffing as one might like, and the rest does not receive any drippings.  If I was going to do this again, I would make the stuffing semi-damp (mine was very dry) and squish it up so it all underlies the meat.

When I take it out of the fridge tomorrow, I’m going to separate the dry stuffing and give it a shot of bouillion.

I turned the corner around the Van Serg Building on the Harvard Campus and practically ran into Julia Child, who was walking in the other direction on her daily constitutional.

Deboning a large raw turkey is intimidating, just not sure how well my first go at it will succeed.

But for this Thanksgiving I’m already booked. I’m being flown to a remote estate in the mountains of California to make the gravey.(Gravey recipe theory coming soon)
