Orphan Thanksgiving Potluck Picnic In The Park ~ Hollywood
Details
This event is for all the LA Transplants that don't have family in town or any place to go to share a Thanksgiving meal with family or friends. We got you... LA Foodies can be part of your family. I was always in charge of roasting the turkey or other big piece of protein, but this year, with both my folks now gone, I too am now a Thanksgiving Orphan. So I'll roast up a nice fat turkey or maybe I'll smoke it... Will I do it Asian style with soy/sesame oil or will I prepare it with rosemary and herbs rubbed on the inside and under the skin? You are just gonna have to join us to find out.
