I’m Starting to Think About Thanksgiving
I don’t know why. I’ve only had Thanksgiving at my house 1 time and that was way back before we had kids. We did have the dog. She grabbed the entire skin from the turkey (it had been cut away) and ran through the house with it, then ate it.
That year, we got a fresh turkey from a turkey farm. Let me tell you, it’s like night and day from having a frozen turkey. It just tasted that much better. Plus, I picked it up Wednesday, brought it home and put it right in the fridge. No thawing, it was great.
Every other year, we’ve eaten at someone else’s house (usually my in-laws). While it’s nice not to cook, not having leftovers really stinks. We usually eat so early that by the time we get home, you really want to dig into a turkey sandwich.
I think this year, when the turkeys are real cheap, I’ll grab a small one and cook it so we have some “leftovers”. I know I said my family doesn’t usually eat leftovers but they do love turkey.
Mmmm, I can almost taste it.
