The chicken is roasting as we speak, errrr, type. Rubbed it with mayo, used some dry thyme inside and out, fresh garlic cloves inside and under the loose skin on the outside, some fresh rosemary, carrots, onions and celery for the body cavity. It smells divine!!

I'm going to make a pan gravy from the drippings, flour and milk. Potato, bread, celery, and onion dressing that I don't cook in the bird any longer for safety's sake.

Fresh cranberry and orange salad with just a bit of scallion chopped on top as garnish and buttery corn on the side.

Do I sound hungry???

Apple dumplings for dessert. The family loves them with some cream poured over them while still hot. Yummy!

I'll have to try crazyworld's and jimj's chicken recipes next - different days, of course.

Gem sounds almost Thankgiving-ish.

I always used mayo on roasted chickens and turkey-mixed with salt/pepper, tarragon, garlic powder.

You could use plain yogurt also.

Yep and it works well. THNX! The yogurt has a stronger flavor so if you use a less fishy tuna (I like Geisha, very mild) you may be able to taste the yogurty flavor. Although if you throw all kinds of stuff in tuna like I usually do (tomatoes, relish, onion, celery) it won't be that noticeable.

I gotta stop reading this at work. I am getting WAY too hungry.

Well if it is any help I'm down to a hand full of kettle chips. That all that's left of three bags over the last few days. Do have a bag of unsalted pretzels and a bag and a half of white choco chips.
