The same air will be circulating around onions!," says John Scharffenberger of Richart. Makes sense to us. Coming with 112 pieces of chocolate at $750, is this decadence at its best?

Tips for Buying a Turkey
Yesterday, I met a man who has been deep frying turkeys for over 40 years. We talked alot about turkey and he gave me some great tips. His first tip was to buy smaller turkey hens. Hens, it seems, have bigger thighs, legs and breasts. They are more tender because they are also younger and smaller, and it's best to buy ones that are 10 to 12 pounds. If you need more meat, then buy two smaller turkey hens. He said never to buy larger turkeys--like the ones on sale that are over 20 pounds. Most likely these are older male turkeys that have less meat and skinnier drumsticks and thinner breasts. Generally, these turkeys will be tougher. That's why they're on sale. I think I learned alot yesterday, and I'm on my way to buying a turkey hen today.
