Wow, turkey is cheap in USA. I paid almost $2 USD/lb for a regular frozen bird.

The Arizona division of the Farm Bureau Federation published the cost of a traditional Thanksgiving meal in its state. To feed a family of 10 with a 16-pound frozen turkey — priced at $21.28 — with all the trimmings, the cost was $50.06, up 13 percent from last year.

Doing 19 lb bird, gravy and stuffing only, (guests are bringing the sides and dessert) I'm coming a bit under my initial estimated $70 USD budget.

This is my skillet. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My skillet is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me my skillet is useless. Without my skillet, I am useless. I must season my skillet well. I will. Before God I swear this creed. My skillet and myself are the makers of my meal. We are the masters of our kitchen. So be it, until there are no ingredients, but dinner. Amen.
