				thanksgiving dinner
			 
 I am having two of my best friends over for thanksgiving dinner and I'm going to cook for them and I've promised that they will have real bird and I won't foist tofurkey on them.   The question is, do I actually cook for them or do I pick up the pre-cooked turkey from the caterer the night before?  I don't want leftovers.  Do turkeys come in small enough sizes for just two people?  Should I go with Cornish Hens or some other small bird for them?  How does one cook a bird?  Any books or websites I could go to for advice?  
 I am quite a good vegetarian cook, but have never cooked a bird before on my own.  Suggestions are welcome.  For Manhattan, my kitchen is reasonably big, so I can actually cook in it although I think I possess the only electric stove in the city, which is not particularly impressive.
