Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

A couple Thanksgivings ago, I celebrated with my neighbor's family and their two fantastic kids in Tahoe. The turkey was in the oven and I realized we didn't have a centerpiece for the table. I had found two empty large fish bowls/vases in the house.

Turkey:
Discovery of 12,000-Year-Old Temple Complex
Could Alter Theory of Human Development
7,000 years older than Stonehenge
NICOLAS BIRCH / Eurasianet 17apr2008
As a child, Klaus Schmidt used to grub around in caves in his native Germany in the hope of finding prehistoric paintings. Thirty years later, representing the German Archaeological Institute, he found something infinitely more important — a temple complex almost twice as old as anything comparable on the planet.

A CERTAIN LACK OF SOLIDARITY
A protest against Israeli operations in Gaza was called off because not enough Palestinians showed up.
RAMALLAH - It's quiet in Ramallah. At the northern entrance to the city, not far from the mall, a new fountain spouts water.

Two pounds a week is the typically advised weight loss, but pro Tracy Anderson says she has worked out a way to safely shed even faster!
“It’s perfectly healthy,” the former dancer, 33, tells Us of her plan. And the results of her regime speak for themselves in the super-fit physiques of clients Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, not to mention her own transformation (the 5-foot mom dropped from 140 to 95 pounds).

Eating out invariably raises a number of tricky questions: sit-down or drive-thru? Burgers or pizza? Thin or stuffed crust?

At this hour, and while listening to Sam Sparro – (Black&Gold)! I'm having a very late dinner in my kitchen, in the company of Jo & many maaaaany cocottes perfectly scattered on the dining table -so I ended up buying them all after all.
My favorite one is the oval-shaped yellow one, for some reason it made me think of that thanksgiving episode of FRIENDS featuring Brad Pitt complaining about the yams -- not that those cocottes were anywhere in that kitchen, but I think the oval-shaped ones would fit a turkey, a really skinny one perhaps.
