Thanks again for that Carol.

Still trying to solve my Thanksgiving dilema. It has been a family tradition that we cook our turkey with a quart of beer and butter. I don't want to break tradition as this was my father who was my rocks tradition he started when my parents got married. I've never had a home cooked turkey without this method of cooking. I would get up in the morning's to cook the turkey and baste the turkey with the beer and say a toast for the turkey and a toast for me.. and dad after he passed.

I have been in a quandry over this for awhile now.. it's tradition.. and it's not going to make me drink again.. but then I feel I 'll be cheating myself and hard work.. even by not toasting myself, just cooking with it... help ladies.. do I start my own new tradition? Never could handle disappointing my Dad... but then again.. he would understand.. I think if he was still here.
