I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.

So I quit my job and went to the New England Culinary Institute for the full two years and worked in the restaurant industry after that until finally I thought I had a grasp on what I needed to do what I do.

Racism. It's ugly. Even in tubers.

A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.

If you really love stuffing, wait until the turkey comes out of the oven, add some of the pan drippings to the stuffing, and bake it in a dish. That's called dressing, and that's not evil - stuffing is, though.

Basting is evil. Basting does nothing for the meat. Why? Skin. Skin is designed to keep stuff out of the bird, so basting just lets heat out of the oven. That means the turkey will take longer to cook... so don't touch that door!
