Happy October. And a reminder that Thanksgiving is only 8 weeks away. If you're truly organized, you may be thinking about ordering your turkey already. If so, you might consider putting in an order for a Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch heritage turkey from Heritage Foods USA, the sales and marketing arm for Slow Food USA. Their Heritage Turkey Project helped double the population of heritage turkeys in this country. So you can feel that much better about roasting–or, for the adventurous, deep-frying–and consuming a colossal bird come the holidays. Or, hey, go shoot one yourself. From an airplane. Just do not attempt to do this anywhere near Los Angeles.
