this is why i love jezebel open threads on holidays. it’s a club of bored/lonely people. i had a family gathering last sunday, and it was nice, but it was a four hour drive away and I didn’t feel like driving down two weekends in a row.

it’s probably waaaaaaay too late for you to make any last minute changes, but are you familiar with spatchcocking a turkey? it looks so cool but I haven’t tried it yet and no one else I know has either and i am very curious and please someone tell me about spatchcocking and how it went!
