So, I decided to take the pressure off them and insure that I get a good day with them, without them having to rush off! It's worked out well.

I received an early Christmas present from my foodie friend Mary over at  All Things Food - Cooking with Mary and Friends . She brought me one of the turkeys that she received from Paradise Acre Farm .  Tom and Denise offer awesome pastured poultry, eggs and gluten free baked goods that they sell at the Rosewood Market in Columbia, SC. Roast Garlic Teriyaki Turkey This is a very easy way to make a Thanksgivin...

Bring sugar mixture, butter, and corn syrup to a boil. Place pecans in a grease 13X9 dish, pour sugar mixture over them and stir. Bake at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
