Later, when I unpacked and put away all the groceries, I started thinking about this blog post. Turkeys kept coming to mind. By the way, I've never cooked one. Maybe, it's time I learned. Anyways, a picture I took, back when I lived near Carman, came to mind. Turkeys used to appear in the yard every year. Sometimes, mating groups; sometimes, a female with young. I rarely had time to photograph them. But, one day, I couldn't resist. From the kitchen window, I spotted a turkey up on the picnic table out back so I snapped this shot.
Who knows why it decided the old picnic table would be a great place to stand around for awhile. Maybe, it was checking out the nearby bird feeder to see what was on the menu? And, no, I didn't buy a turkey today. Maybe, soon, though ...
I used to have a mug at work that said- Don't let the turkeys get you down? Are you doing the Christmas dinner or are you invited somewhere? I am sure there are many people that can guide through cooking a turkey- may need some help with the stuffing recipe. I use my Mom's- of course it is in my head, not written down. My family love it, otherwise a good old fashioned Canadian stuffing. By the way it is a neat picture. Good to hunt through old photos for Blog ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm invited to the Johns' for Christmas brunch with the Ellis'. Later, Margaret and I are hosting her family dinner. I think she may try a brined turkey. I think I'll be the one that gets stuffed Christmas day.
