Thanksgiving in Siberia

In commemoration of Thanksgiving, we note the trials and tribulations of one intrepid blogger who tried -- and failed -- to cook a bird in the tundra.

Feeling cocky, I then did a tasting sample and nearly choked. The gravy was incredibly salty and exceedingly chunky. I added more water, but there was no change. For the next 20 minutes, I kept adding water and stirring. The gravy just kept getting chunkier, tasted horrible and actually began to smoke!

If that fails, you could always take some tips from TGI Friday's top chef in Moscow on how to prepare a "traditional American turkey." Wait, TGI Friday's?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
