I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.

I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.

I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.

Cranberries contain a massive amount of natural pectins. They will gel all on their own, which is why you can basically make cranberry sauce out of filling.

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!

You need to either create a slurry in a cold liquid, which also works with cornstarch, or you've got to do your gravy in a very wide pan and kind of scatter the flour over the top and then very quickly whisk it in.

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.
