Daughter in law does rest by her choice and we are all around to visit while she cooks - open concept so not crowded in kitchen. Son cleans up. Like I said - rut by choice!!
Here I am to report that the oldest grandson texted the family group could we have a spatchcock turkey. He found a recipe. I texted back, sure, sounds great, but you have to be in charge. He said I could still be in charge and I said, nope, turning over to you, but I will assist. I think it sounds great and maybe time for a change. It will still be turkey. We are flying across the country tomorrow to be with them, and our meal is on Friday.
