I miss the holidays. The cheer of looking forward to something, the smell of trees for sale on the street, the constant eating, the not working. Here's a picture of the 20lb turkey my mom made for Christmas. The secret to getting the turkey so nice and brown is baking the bird in a brown paper bag. I kept on asking my mom if she rubbed it with soy sauce or butter or something to get such a nice brown color and she said "No, nothing!" Well, I just googled brown bag turkey and there was a site that said that cooking the turkey in a grocery bag isn't safe because the paper could have been treated with some chemicals. Plus the glue or dye could be harmful because a grocery store bag isn't designed for food cooking. It suggested using a plastic oven bag. Whatever. In the picture of my dad's hands and the bag, I don't see any words on the it, so I think I'll live. We're a family that likes to live dangerously. Can you tell by how the turkey is stuffed?
