Today is Thanksgiving Holiday in the U.S.A.

Today is our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.

It is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November.

Generally people (still mainly the womenfolk), cook a turkey.

I will be doing just that.

When I was in Chile, someone asked me why cooking a turkey was always a problem (as is often shown in American TV and movies).

As I explained, it's because it is a rather large fowl (from around 8 to 20 lbs), and, as we normally only cook it once a year, one always forgets how it's done. There is always the problem of undercooking, or overcooking.

One U.S. company (Butterball, I believe) has a toll free number, staffed with persons, on Thanksgiving Day, able to answer questions about cooking a turkey.
