as opposed to a turkey-melt, which would taste a lot better!
Most people serve turkey on Thanksgiving, though at my local neighborhood butcher shop, I noticed some folks ordered prime rib, along with geese, ducks and even hams. One year I made a Peking Duck and another year I cooked a goose, but we pretty much stick with turkey.
Twenty house guests for two days ate every single thing I made…since my brain is fried and I haven’t slept in over twenty-four hours, I honestly don’t remember eating anything until half an hour ago when I ate a salad at TGI Fridays up here in Minneapolis - we flew in early this morning for a funeral. So the twenty-relatives left last night at midnight and we headed off to the airport three hours later. Gaaaaaa…
You know, it’s cold in Minnesota. In Cali, I get up in the morning and the temp is maybe 33′ or 36′, and there’s frost on the ground, but I walk outside to get the paper barefoot, wearing my tee shirt and my baggy boxers and I never notice. It’s 39′ here and the moment I stepped out of the airport doors, I felt damn cold! I must admit that I have not experienced the Midwest in the winter for quite a while - my parents moved to the West Coast six years ago and I haven’t had much reason to come back here, til now, that is.
I’ll stop my rambling long enough to say, cherish family while you got ‘em, even if you have to wash a shitload of dishes and every towel in the house six times in two days!
When I get home - it’s back to romance! One of the benefits of travel, I stare out the window of the plane and wrap my mind around a new story!
