Yummy Dinners, Great Company and lots of Wine!

This winter I have been making some yummy dinners for my friends and me! One of the highlights was our turkey dinner. I roasted a delicious, moist turkey. It started off with lots of research, scouring Bon Appetite in search of the perfect Thanksgiving recipes. I did my first salted turkey, where I mixed fresh herbs with tons of salt and orange rinds. Rubbing the turkey all over it is meant to lock in the moisture. I put it in the fridge overnight. The next morning I took the turkey out and made a butter rub for it. The butter was filled with orange rind, and yummy basil. The butter went under the skin and I stuffed the cavity with oranges and onions. I have to say it turned out DELICIOUS!

Although the best thing about all the cooking was the dinner with great friends. A night of great company, lots of wine and yummy food. This is the life I want, filled with love and people and good food. One little building block at a time.
