Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! In celebration of this holiday, I am posting a photograph from God knows when of my sister Susan, late brother-in-law George, and mother Mary on Thanksgiving Day. It was taken on the patio of Susan and George's townhouse up in Fort Collins, Colorado. No doubt George was cooking that turkey on his barbecue on what looks like a warm, sunny November afternoon in Colorado. This year it will be just Susan and myself down here in Stuart, Florida cooking a $10 Walmart turkey the old-fashioned way, via the oven. Just why the turkey is so cheap has me wondering if it might be one of those roadkill turkeys, favored by some ethical meat eaters these days, and that when I take the plastic off the bird, we will have to pluck all the feathers off it before putting it in the oven. I am using the "royal we, " by the way. By "we," I mean, of course, Susan. Perhaps I'll take the turkey out the night before and have her start the plucking process early. Just to be on the safe side, right?
