We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
What's in your turkey? We killed and butchered more than 80 birds on the farm of Mike and Michelle Klein in Prince George's County. Thankfully, Michelle did the gutting. Unfortunately, Mike bought his turkey chicks earlier than usual and they did not stop growing. Our prize for helping was a carcass that weighed nearly 40 pounds. It barely fit in the oven. Here, Mike is subjecting a slaughtered bird to the "magic fingers," a machine with a nubby, rotating barrel that removes most of the feathers. © 2009 The Slow Cook — Design by Keri Marion

PS great flag
You better believe we can! Thanks Ed.
Joanna, yes, we are quite relieved, but I’d like to embrace readers who do not necessariy share The Slow Cook’s politics. I think we can all appreciate what an hostoric occasion this is for all Americans–indeed, even for the world.
Mary Ann, I am totally blown away by the revised look of your blog. I’ve never seen anything like it. Incredible, and ingenious.
You betcha we can, and we did!
