Diversion.

What was to be a post-Thanksgiving fruit fast turned quickly into - a half bottle of wine and a Bourdain episode of eating sea urchins later - a leftover turkey and cranberry sauce bender spiked with the jealousy-induced purchase of 2 trays of California Gold uni from Catalina Offshore Products. Also mackerel and monkfish liver. Oooops. At any rate, at the bottom of this bottle of Syrah lies the kind of forgetfulness that will make the uni's arrival that much more majestic & whimsical? Right??


Here comes turkey.


Butternut squash and chestnut stuffing, port-laced cranberry sauce, cookies, pie, and thyme and parm mashed potatoes.
