Waking up early to get going on this dumb 22lb bird that’s been brining for 24 hours, hoping I don’t have any issues during surgery performing the spatchcock procedure, reading this beautifully honest and insanely accurate piece has made my day already. You have put into words what I could only feel about today. Not sure how you stumbled in my timeline but I definitely made sure it’ll happen again. ;)

OK, I'm in. I even got the Bluth reference: choice. And fyi: I'm roasting a duck tomorrow. Sorry; and cheers.

You're a great writer Liz (and this is coming from someone who has almost no interest in food).

I have made it to the mountaintop! I have read the entire blog. I feel triumphant yet sad, like when I leave any type of buffet. Thank you for the laughs!
