Dear Sandra, what a nice gesture of yours :)I think it is quite convenient to hear a nice way of cooking from a person, who sounds to be pretty professional, though.Thank you for your information and I thank you for your lovely way. It doubles the joy of reading your article dear Sandra.big Hugz,Sandra.Thank you, Anna, for reading and commenting.Welcome to searchwarp.Sandra
I loved this one, Grannie. Mom needs to read it--although, she might get upset that hundreds of people will now know about her first turkey! Ha.Love you. BrittanyThank you, sweet Brittany. Glad you liked the article. Hope your mom does, too.Love ya.Grannie
Nice homespun story. I liked that the punch line (finding the giblets, neck, etc.) wasn't made up or exaggerated - just true and thus more funny. I suppose the greater humor is in knowing the people around the table - it's gotta be funnier to you. But, we all know those, "getting out the door on a trip" trips back for stuff. We also know those table moments when everybody laughs. Thanks.Thank you so much, Amos, for reading and commenting. Glad you liked the article.My father's name was Amos--you might like to check out my website and read my book about him (AMOS JAKEY). I think you would like it.Also, Welcome to Searchwarp, glad to have you join us.Sandra
That was another wonderful story. I love to read your stories, they are always great. Funny thing is, I bet that happens all to often! hahaThank you for reading and commenting, Freida. Yes, I'm sure this happens a lot. I'm glad you liked the article.Sandra
Funny, funny story. I'm sure everyone got a great laugh out of that. But, Miss Freida is right, it does happen quite often to young homemakers.Good story. Loved it.Annonomous.Thanks, Annonmous. I'm glad you enjoyed the article. It was a fun time for all of us and the turkey really was delicous--even with its innards still bagged up.Sandra
Ok Sandra... now that your story has been out for a while and hopefully everyone has read it.... I'll confess... I've done that too.... several times... My turkeys are always perfectly cooked - I've got that down pat, but when I get up at 5 am on Thanksgiving Day, I just seem to forget about those stupid giblets and the neck - why do they need to freeze them inside the bird anyway!!?? I decided to just make it MY tradition to cook the giblets inside the turkey - maybe that's the secret to my perfect turkeys and I just don't know it. Why mess with something that works??.... I make white gravy anyway. :)Thank you so much, Jean. Apparently it is not all that uncommon. And my daughter's turkey suffered not at all from the misplaced giblets. It was eaten down to the wishbone with none to spare! Beats me why they do that--I guess it just keeps them from getting lost?????Sandra
Very passionate writer! Writes very well and does a great job painting a picture. However, articles about cooking are not for me.Thanks so much, Marc. But, yes, we all have our 'druthers'---cooking isn't for me, either--I'd 'druther' be fishing.Welcome to Searchwarp. I'm looking forward to finding out what your interests are in writing.Sandra
