The hotline is now open


It's me again, the middle turkey.
Ever since we published our little Renouf family Thanksgiving cookbook, my holiday phone calls have significantly decreased. Everyone has all the recipes they need, which is very lovely. No one has a question about lumpy gravy, pie crusts that brown too quickly, or turkey cooking times. How wonderful! But I miss chatting with you while you're chopping. I miss mingling while you're mixing. I miss yammering over the yams. So I just wanted to remind you all that the phone lines are open for Thanksgiving, even if you don't have a cooking question. Don't be a stranger, even if you are estranged. Even if you are only across the street at Grandma's house. Call me and we'll talk turkey.

Erin,
what a lovely surprise to have you post! Yea! Although I don't know how on earth you have time. Well, I do know when I hear how little sleep you get.
Anyway I'll call you to talk turkey anytime. I can't wait to hang out with your family and gain 15 pounds.

Oh I'm sure I will have a question or two even though you have provided us with a wonderful cookbook full of great recipes. You can count on my call. But on New Years Eve I plan on being by your side frying taquitos!

I think you should have a permanent homecook hotline.
I would call it everyday, but not when I'm cooking because when we're on the phone with each other and I'm cooking I forget what I'm adding or added and have to throw it out and start over.
I'm too absorbed in the conversation to pay attention to what I'm cooking.
But, I'll still call. "I'd even call to tell you I'm not calling."
