Again this year the bird was brined in apple cider and herbs. The smoking was courtesy of apple wood and lacquered with smoked bacon. The cast iron stuffing was upped with duck confit. All the veggies roasted lovingly by Ms. Vicky.

A hardy and filling dinner for all with the host hitting the sheets hard after all had reached their capacity of  L-tryptophan and baked treats for dessert.

I hope all had a great Christmas and wish you a wonderful New Year.

Be well world.
