Thanksgiving Turkey

Since it is the night before Thanksgiving I thought I should start thinking about what we were going to eat.  Plans over the past month have been up and down and all around.  Thankfully there are turkey giveaways going on all over base and I managed to snag this 30 pounder at the preschool today.


I think this year I will try to brine the turkey.  I asked it to get in a big bucket of cold salty water and it got sassy.  I'm beginning to wonder if this "free" turkey was a good idea.

After taste testing the toes I think we'll just have hot dogs because I'm pretty sure the gravy from this turkey will just taste weird.

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
