    Ex pats and others in China can enjoy this event in major cites. Prices are not outside range of restaurants in US ($20 to 200). But were I to buy, I have been informed frozen bird would come from Russia. ?!? Cannot buy; reasons.

    Eight years ago I was somewhere in US and cooked 3 domestic turkeys for a large group. Adequate ovens availed. Cooking the birds well, abundant gravy was next need. I did my work, and others made side dishes and pies.
    --
    Gravy needs flour, and that needs oven time and some umami. Y'all have a day to learn what that means.

    Internet is stuffed with descriptions of side dishes and pies. If you miss this year, there will be another.

    Happy T-Day, all (y)

    Thanks for reading my verbosity, if you do take the time to. Not that good at it, but writing helps me in a variety of ways.

    Thankful also for this resource for the 5th-gen, as is my first hybrid and wanted it to be a Toyota. And after the first year's exp with this car, may be the one after as well (as long as the mothership doesn't cost itself billions in avoidable production flubs, as it's been doing repeatedly this year). Apparently by end of decade, all Toyotas will be HEVs if not BEVs... and should be quite impressive.

    Enjoy! Eat well and count blessings...

    My first Toyota hybrid was a 2017 Gen 4 Prius Two. Last year, after it met a 4Runner, I moved on to a 2025 Camry XLE. All Camry are hybrid HEV since 2025 model year. All 2026 RAV4 are either HEV or PHEV now too.

    A cool, quiet day, caught up on one of my honey dew tasks:
    doors_01.jpg doors_02.jpg

    An earlier contractor had mounted the doors not accounting for the door way molding. So I removed the original rail; added a 1" (2.5 cm) board, and; remounted the rail. Now the doors slid open and closed easily ... much to the delight of 'she who must be obeyed.'
