Fatted Calf Thanksgiving Offerings
There is something impressive about that big bird. Maybe I’ve been indoctrinated with the bigger is better mentality but I do love the way it monopolizes my diminutive oven and exudes its roasty perfume as it cooks from dawn until dusk. There is an excitement when it it’s hulking presence is finally removed from the oven and set to rest on the counter. It seems to say to all the bit players, the dressing and sweet potatoes, the pearl onions and roasted parsnips, the star has arrived and the show is about to begin. But once those slices of light and dark meat are piled high on a plate where onion cream has already run amuck with cranberry goop and my nod to tradition has been fulfilled, I can’t help thinking about what could have been.
Whether you are contemplating skipping the big bird this year or just looking for some consolation prizes to round out your meal, we are here to assist.
