Everyone in the institution seems to be thankful ‘in general.’ It’s very strange. It’s a little like being married in general.” – Cornelius Plantinga, Jr.
4. “That’s the ultimate goal of most turkey recipes: to create a great skin and stuffing to hide the fact that turkey meat, in its cooked state, is dry and flavorless. Does it have to be that way? No. We just have to focus on what the turkey is and what the turkey needs.”

5. “It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an axe the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the axe work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with ‘gourmet’ status.” – Russell Baker
