Was Up Bright and Early...
this
Morn.
Wanted to get The Turkey Goin'...
and Whip Up some Cranberry Relish, The Crazy Good...
'Apple, Maple Flavored Sausage, and Cranberry'
Stuffing,
and...
Bake a Couple Pumpkin Pies, today.
; )
{making Dill Pickle Wraps, in the Morn.}
The Morning started out on the wrong foot, before daylight.
The Turkey was nearly thawed... in the fridge,
{good, good... : )}
however...
the package it was packed in looked like a Balloon, ready to Pop.
Not...
good.
; (
I've Never had 'That' Happen.
Felt there could be bacteria causing it.
{I'm not talkin' a little balloon,
it was a
'Up, Up... and Away, in My Beautiful Balloon'...
'Balloon'.
; )
not...
good.
: (
I'd purchased The 21 pound Turkey, at Target, last week.
They... didn't open until 7, so...
went ahead and whipped up 3 quarts of Cranberry Relish.
then, headed to Target, with the The Turkey Balloon, in tow.
When I arrived at Target, noticed a Guy unloading his cart, thought I'd ask him, if I could take his cart, rather... than Lug The Turkey Balloon.
Walked up to him, he was just... placing his last items in the back seat of his car.
said...
"May I take your cart?"
: )
He JUMPED High in The Air!!
{It was like he was Riding a Bicycle to The Sky!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
and...
He Screamed, a Very... High-Pitched Shrill...
While Frantically Peddling
his
'Air' Bicycle!!!
His Feet Weren't Touchin' The Ground!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
: ) : ) : )
then...
when his feet, Finally stopped 'Peddling',
he stood there, trying to catch his breath, and said...
"no... I'm not scared... : )"
Hahahahahahaha!!!
{I'm Laughing so Hard... just Thinking about it, Can Hardly Breathe!!!
Ya Had Ta BE There!!}
: )
I... didn't laugh, {at The Time...}
: )
did smile, and say...
"I know... I look a little 'Scary' at 7:30 a.m.,
most days...
; )
but...
WOW!!"
: ) : ) : )
He Laughed!!!
; )
Swear to God... it was like being in a Cartoon,
First Hand!!
Reminded me of something Jim Carrey would do!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Priceless!!
The Gal, at Target was So Good.
<3
She found me another Turkey.
a
'Fresh, Unfrozen... Turkey', refunded me for the bad one, and gave me the other, no charge.
She was Amazing.
<3
She went Above, and Beyond.
<3
Love... Target.
Love going through Old Cookbooks, this time of year.

<3
So enjoy searching for Recipes to try, from the 1870's and 80's...
Cookbooks.

My 'Apple, Sausage... Cranberry' Stuffing,
well...
It's a Heart Attack in a Cast Iron Scotch Bowl.
; )
{Made 5 quarts of it. : )}
Told, Justin 'J'... today, I can only make it twice a year.
Could NEVER Eat This, regularly.
He asked me...
"Why???"
{He LOVES It!!}
said...
"We'd All Weigh 500 Pounds!!!!"
: )
He Laughed!!
; )
Told Justin, next year... or, maybe, at Christmas, this year, He's gonna have to help me make it.
<3
Told him, "When I'm gone... Somebody's Got to be able to Make THIS!!
Can't Have This Killer Stuffing Die with Me!!"
; )
Figure He's The Man for The Job!!
<3
Justin said...
"yeah... you probably didn't get 'The Recipe' from a book, did ya."
{hahahahahaha!!}
<3
nope.
; )
I... think Justin's Pretty Excited about Learning 'The Recipe'.
<3
He Sure Enjoyed 'Sampling' It, as it Cooked.
; )
<3
The Turkey... is Done.
Looks pretty good.
Smells... even Better.
: )
Mainly needed the Turkey, for the Giblets, and Drippings.
{Stuffing, and Gravy. : ) }
Justin, and Christy are cooking a Turkey, tomorrow.
Not sure if they're Grilling, or Smoking theirs.
I know This...
It'll Be Great!!
; )
I'll slice this one up... and freeze it.
Probably will take some of it... tomorrow.
; )
Indeed.
; )
When I stepped outside, this Morning.
GADS!!!
: (
The Wind was Howling!!
FREEZING!!!
All I could say... while Fighting my way... to Jethro,
was...
"This... Is Ridiculous."
: (
then...
remembered looking at the 'Memory' above,
yesterday...
that was from 2013.
Yes...
It Could Be Worse....
and
Has Been,
often...
this time of year,
in
Iowa.
; )
There's Always, Always...
'Something' to be Grateful For.
<3
Always.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
