However badly our Thanksgiving may turn out, we still needs to observe the formalities. It's a traditional harvest feast after all, and traditional dishes are expected, that is why while driving along our driveway I almost missed the golden goose, to mix a metaphor.
Click on the photo, see the dots at the bottom of the drive?
With a little notice, I could probably get the dogs to round up a few, we could then ship one to your house, allowing you the opportunity to fatten it up at home. What could be more traditional?
Should you care to dispatch your own, arrangements could be made.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you've got planned for that weekend. In yrs past we have raised our own turkeys. It usually turns into a comedy as we end up with a 45 lb bird in a trash bag that won't fit into the oven and needs to be sawed in half while frozen.
ReplyDeleteWhy is your thanksgiving going to be so dreadful?
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law raises turkeys - he usually keeps 4 at a time and names them Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Lucky!
A couple of years ago I almost harvested my own whilst driving to a client meeting. Cannonball with wings... yikes.
ReplyDeleteya know, you could borrow the "turkey chipper" from the fine town of wasilla, ak., that way you could ship them in a zip-lock baggie,
ReplyDeleteMy husband got one with his truck last year.

I don't think you can fatten those minions up quick enough to offer hearty birds for the big day. Unless you mosey over to one of the sports arenas in your area and borrow some steroids.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear the stories leading up to Thanksgiving! I'll have to pass on the bird - my kids will have named it and befriended it in no time and then there's no way we could eat Toby the Turkey for dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteI've found the quickest way to get rid of a pesky wild turkey infestation is to walk out the door carrying a shotgun...none to be found, anywhere
ReplyDeleteThe Ruger 20 over/under won't do...maybe the Browning Citori 12 is in order. Now where did I leave the damn shells? Wait, I got my first with a Winchester 94 30-30.
