Not exactly a blog, but Jacques Pepin and Julia Child did an old school cooking blog type of thing on PBS and an awesome cookbook was created from that.

Really good. After years of doing the big dinner, prepping for days, brining, etc, this year was really low-key. It feels like its' okay not to blow the doors out every year.
I will say that we have never deep-fried the turkey, in all the years that we have like 20 people over. We have experimented and I think the dry brining works best. You really have to dry the turkey well, and if it's a giant turkey, that's hard to do after liquid brining. It seems to never get dry, no matter how many rolls of paper towels you go through.
My favorite way of making the turkey ended up coming from this cookbook. It's a deconstructed turkey. You cut it apart, and lay the pieces flat. It takes about an hour to cook, if I recall. Then, you assemble the whole thing for the presentation.
it really was the best solution to over-cooking. But the kids at the table, especially, thought it was a letdown not to cook the bird in one piece.
Here's the video of Julia and Jacque hacking things up. It was fun to actually use a cleaver.
