This year was the year we were supposed to use up the "free" turkey from two years ago (invited to friends, then the son's future in-laws). Turkeys don't keep two years even in the chest freezer. TG morning I smelled it, and it was rancid. The Husband (who checks out grocery stores on vacation, and no, he doesn't work in one) got to make an extra trip to find some sort of un-frozen turkey. Success! <br />Hope whatever you wound up eating was delicious and you were surrounded by those you love.<br />Verification: subso<br />Sub so crazy?NeedleTarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918009777760522295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-19812847736759623392010-11-26T22:30:48.291-05:002010-11-26T22:30:48.291-05:00WOOT!
