Oh, yes, I remember him. My then-husband and I were at the Aspen Food & Wine Festival and hubby had commissioned Prudhomme to create a drink with Beefeater Gin which he was the brand director of. (It didn't take a lot of work: a chili pepper and gin in a martini glass.) I was standing next to the great chef waiting for him to sign his latest book and he motioned me closer to his wheelchair. I gave him the book which he put in his lap and then he put his hand up my dress! I jumped up and back so hard I hit hubby in the chin and he actually got a bruise. He was so mad at me and I couldn't say anything in my defense until we were away from the party!

I'd guess that tenderloins are some kinda white meat. Turkey thighs are bone in and skin on; much larger than a chicken thigh, one per person is plenty.

Oh, okay. Well, they were one of the two things that were out of stock anyway. And the other out-of-stock thing was turkey bacon! Other than that, my grocery order turned out pretty well. I think I'll follow Chuck's method through the holidays. The grocery store was pretty crowded. :-\

:o Whoa! Too bad you couldn't #metoo him back then.

Well, I just ordered a fresh turkey from an artisanal butcher shop -- it comes from some farm near here -- and there was no problem. Most of the ones under 10 lbs are already claimed, so I had to order "10 pounds or less." I ran the figures through a turkey calculator and it suggested 6 lbs. Since my sons are in their 20s and workout constantly, they get really hungry, so I figured maybe 7-8. Turns out the smallest they had left at this point are 10.
Oh well, it freezes well and I'll probably find it handy to have there sometime in the future for a dinner emergency. And it's not expensive, surprisingly.
