As a child, I loved Thanksgiving; but, as an adult – well, let’s put it this way, like the turkey, it’s just not my day.
Why the FDA doesn’t require turkeys be sold with a “Surprise, inside” label is beyond me. Clearly! If you place a heavy bird on the table with a thud, you shouldn’t be surprised when a bag of turkey personal parts sticks out its backside.
I learned that the hard way as a young bride – just as I learned that buying the last frozen turkey in town means turkey-in-the-tub and a very late dinner.
My latest lesson – and a recipe for disaster – holiday travel plans can not be effectively communicated by e-mail. Consequently, I’m assuming the ever helpful Heloise probably emailed the hint that produced these results:
Don’t assume you’re always going to be understood. I wrote in a column that one should put a cup of liquid in the cavity of a turkey when roasting it. Someone wrote me that: “The turkey tasted great, but the plastic cup melted.”
I am most thankful for all of you who read SLABBED but, otherwise, thankful the holiday only comes once a year. By the way, with my goose cooked, I’m shopping for duck.

Save that duck fat Nowdy! Then buy some oysters, roll ’em breadcrumbs and fry them bad boys in that duck fat.
Yum!

Add a few martinis and you’ll have a Sop of Good Ole Thanksgiving Day! Gobble, Gobble Sop and Nowdy! Have a good,un.
Sorry nodoucit but turkeys do fly and if they didn’t there would be none in the wild. They nest in trees so they live for another day!! But I pray you had a great Thanksgiving with your domestic turkey. They are the politicians of the world. They get fat off of others feeding them, do no good while here and try to live off of others and make them think they are smart.
The smart ones are the wild ones that suppot themselves!!!
