Happy Thanksgiving Everyond
Everyone is coming to our house for Thanksgiving. We'll be having between 24 and 26. We're setting up three tables that run from the kitchen through the living room - almost wall to wall. I got the turkeys on Saturday and had to go in twice because they were allowing one to a customer at the special price.
I found out two things. The first is that frozen turkeys are REALLY cold, slippery, hard and difficult to pull out from under other turkeys because of their shape. With numb fingers, I finally found a 20 pounder and high tailed it to the register to check out, put turkey number 1 in the car before going back in for number 2.
On the return attempt, I ended up almost falling head first into the freezer trying to get to the bottom where I hoped to find a large turkey but they were all 15 pounders at that end. My feet were flying off the floor behind me as I stretched to the bottom of the opposite side. I don't even want to think of the picture of me seesawing on the edge of the freezer.
Coming up for air and chatting with others about the need for enough turkey for 26, a woman on the other end offered up the 24 pound Tom her little son had found. I wanted to kiss him but figured I had done enough questionable things already.
Thanking her, I pulled the 17 pounder I had placed in my cart - just in case -and offered it up to the others still trying vainly to find something larger than 15 pounds. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, I went off to do the rest of my shopping.
