It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Weekenders!

Here is yet another adorable photo of Miss Savannah.

It is FOURTEEN DEGREES here this morning, they were talking about us setting a record for cold this month. So much for global warming.

I am 'AlGore-aphobic' on that topic. Ha!

(By the way - you may have noticed that I stay away from political conversation on the blog)

My 'getting ready for my trip' agenda changed a bit last night.

I stopped at Big Lots to get some of those turkey sized aluminum pans - you can throw them away and that helps with the cleanup.

I stopped at Aldi because they had fresh Butterball turkeys on sale, and bought one (plus a couple other things).

I carelessly tossed the turkey on top of a couple of frozen food items in the bag in the car.

When I took the turkey out of the bag, there was a pinhole LEAK in my turkey bag!

I didn't want to freeze it, because I wouldn't have time to defrost it when I return from my trip. I didn't want to patch the hole and hope for the best, because it might be spoiled when I return!

So, I whipped out a turkey oven roasting bag from the drawer, put it in one of my new pans, and COOKED A TURKEY last night! I have already dissected it and frozen several packages of meat. I also froze the turkey broth and giblets to make gravy when I return.

When I come back next Friday, we can have a turkey dinner anytime, just by defrosting some of the meat and making the gravy!

Cooking a turkey was NOT on the schedule, but it worked out just fine!

I'm heading to New England on the afternoon nonstop flight. TTFN!
