In preparation for my Thanksgiving dinner, I have been watching Top Chef, presented by Padma Lakshmi on Bravo. Some people close to me have interpreted this as lassitude, brought on by last night's combination of me, Jim Bianco and a bottle of bourbon. That person is wrong, however, I am not hungover, I am doing research. After 3 hours of the show I feel fully equipped to cook a big meal... or at least eat one. If anyone has any last minute recipe ideas, then post them here, I have to impress my guests - right, back to chasing that turkey round the room.
P.S Here's a picture of me and Padma earlier. Let's face it, Salman never stood a chance.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, shorty Sean!

My grandpa always added a little extra whiskey and washed it down with whatever was left in the bottle...

ReplyDeleteHow about doing what Mr Bush is doing and pardoning a turkey instead? You know, buying a turkey then seremonially letting it loose? You could keep it in your back yeard, perhaps. And name her Wilma.
