I have inherited Cooking The Family Thanksgiving and am battling my 
mother to get to cook some interesting things.  I =want= to make the 
infamous Black Turkey, best turkey ever, honestly, but I think it scares 
Mom. [http://www.epiphyte.net/misc/recipes/black-turkey.html]  Instead 
I'll be doing my own spin on Alton Brown's Brined Turkey with a little 
more help from Penzey's interesting spice combos.

Sides:  Sweet potatoes with butter and maple syrup.  Cauliflower with 
pesto [because our basil plants are lovely this year].  Fresh corn from 
the stand, with very little done to it because it is already awesome.

Brother John the Pie Man is making pies, his choice.  He's been talking 
about Orange Meringue, if we can get sour oranges.  Regular lemon won't 
hurt anybody's feelings around here, or else the lime tree is producing 
copiously as well.  And one other thing, maybe blueberry.

I have one fruited spice bread in the fridge that has been soaking in 
rum for a good long while, and it's time to make its debut.

Cheers,
Selene
