Thanksgiving without butter? Oy.

I have to cook kosher this year.

I know enough to know what to ask, and my turkey provider, utensils, kitchen, plates, and serving implements have all been cleared by my Kosher guests.

But, of course, I can't use butter to grease up my bird.

What's a hospitable cook who can't stand the idea of not using butter to do?

Will any oil do? Is margarine the way to go (I hate that stuff)? Other ideas?

I can't even figure out what to Google that isn't just about what makes a turkey kosher and whether to brine it.

Help!

What should a single foodie with a vacation do?

Okay, I'm looking for suggestions on how to put these pieces together.

-I've just become recently single
-I had a vacation planned for late the last week of March with my former-girl that I'm not eager to take alone
-My bonus check for the year just came in so I've got some leeway in terms of money
-I'm in my late 20s

So I'm scouting suggestions. I was wondering if there's a cooking class or tour that would be appropriate. I've never done one before and worry they would tend to be all couples or retirees (don't get me wrong, I'll hang out with anyone. I'm looking for the chance to meet some neat people, and it would be nice to find folks that are interested in hanging out with me).

Basically I'm looking for general suggestions. As someone who's interested in cooking and eating, whose got some time and money on his hands, what can I do that would be a unique but still social experience? Thoughts?
