Can. You. Smell. That?

Mmmmm. There is the most scrumptious aroma of roasting turkey, smothered in olive oil, all through my house.

Today is hubby's birthday, so I decided to cook that turkey in my freezer and have mashed potatoes and stuffing.

My house smells so good.

(yesterday I baked a sour cream chocolate chip cake with bittersweet chocolate glaze and sem-sweet morsels pressed into the outside. Much chocolate.)

This is the going to be the best meal I've had in a month, easy.

Sending virtual roasting turkey smells into the board...

Eeewwwww!
No, mine is better. But I'm sure we'll be doing that...um... other...thing later, after the turkey.

'Bake' is what I do best. I mean, I CAN cook, but I like to bake better. And I'm good at it.

DClary - I did buy Hubby Flyboys for his birthday. His eyes got all big - things that explode! WWI planes! Oh joy!

Rich, all I really do to the bird is slather that bad boy with EVOO all over (make sure you get all of it) and sprinkle on a little onion powder and garlic salt. And I rub salt and oil inside too.

Just roast until done. Nothing fancy. Serve with stuffing (stove top) and mashed taters (Potato buds - come on, this ain't Thanksgiving!)
