Gwyneth Paltrow Tells You How To Properly Do Thanksgiving, Because You Don't Know How
It's been a busy time for Gwyneth Paltrow. First, she had to do a bunch of backpedaling when she ticked off vegetarian terrorists PETA when she wore fur in a recent ad (her excuse: I was attacked by a stealth stylist!):
“That was awkward, and I’m glad you asked, because I do not wear fur at all. It was a daylong photo shoot on a boat near Capri, and there were all sorts of poses with all kinds of clothes—none with fur. During one set-up, a stylist came up from behind and draped a stole around my shoulders. I didn’t pay much attention to it, and when I noticed it was fur I assumed it was fake fur but did not ask, so it’s my fault. I was very surprised when they ended up using that one shot out of hundreds for the centerpiece of the Tod’s ads. I know it’s not a great excuse, but I hope you and your members understand.”
I guess the leather purse and boots in the photo were okay, because cows are really ugly. It's okay if you kill them, eat their meat, and wear their pelts. Not like cute little squirrels or bunnies or minks.
But now Gwyneth had better watch her back and send somebody else out to start her car, because the folks at PETA will really blow out their aortic valves when they realize what she's fixing for Thanksgiving:
Turkey will always be the main event of Thanksgiving (at least in my house) and a whole turkey is the way to go if you're feeding at least 12. But if your party is smaller, the stuffed turkey breast turns out to be a great halfway point. Brining it overnight insures that you don't need to baste it and it has a quick cooking time. Why should things be any less festive if dinner is just for two? I came up with these stuffed turkey burgers which were a giant hit in my house. They are the perfect solution for anyone who isn't feeding a big group (or for a big group that wants to try something different!).
Okay. This is totally bogus. I don't know what sort of serving size she is using (perhaps the size of a quarter, or possibly a half-dollar if she's really feeling gluttonous), but at my house I've fixed a whole turkey for the four of us (five of us if my mother is involved) and not had that many leftovers. It's one day a year! Twelve people with one turkey? When I go to my dad's for Thanksgiving we go through a turkey and a ham and are scraping the platter. We have fifteen people or so, but still.
