Thankful All Over Again

This past weekend, I got to take part in a fun new holiday-esque tradition, the second annual... well... name pending.

For two years running now, my boyfriend has bought an ultra-cheap turkey in the aftermath of Thanksgiving, and kept it frozen in his "could hold several bodies" freezer in the garage, waiting for January to roll around. You've heard of Christmas in July? Well, meet Thanksgiving in January.

Friends came over to his place, everyone bringing a Thanksgiving dish -- some traditional, some a little different (appropriate, considering the occasion). One brought along what turned out to be the best turkey recipe ever: Turkey with Herbes de Provence and Citrus.

Seriously, go bookmark that link or print it out, and hang onto it for the next time you have to cook a turkey. Unbelievable!

Just like Thanksgiving, the cooking was an all-day affair, but with fun activities throughout. Good food, good company.

Though we're still looking for the perfect name. Gobble-a-go-go was in the mix. Thankuary seemed decent. Janksgiving was right out. But in any case, it's a tradition sure to be repeated again next year, so we are going to have to work that name out.
