Gobble, Gobble!
So, Thanksgiving is in a week. On Thanksgiving's past I either went to my grandparents house or cooked for no good cheating boyfriends, LOL, But, over the years they passed on and I moved on from cheaters. And I have moved on from getting up at the crack of dawn trying to cook anything. My step grandfather used to get up at 4 am to cook the turkey and by the time it was done he was done, as in asleep. I discovered fully cooked turkey meals a few years ago and knew that is what I was wanted to do. A heat and serve turkey day. I don't mind making the pies and making the yams but as long as the bird was cooked I was good.
Throughout the year we eat a lot of ground turkey. I probably cooked ground turkey 300 different ways throughout the year. So, when it gets close to Thanksgiving I cut down drastically on the ground turkey because if I didn't I know that I would not want to eat a turkey period. So, I told my sister early in the year that I might get ham instead of turkey. She really didn't care as long as there was food to eat that she didn't cook. I told my nephew that too and he was the same way. He didn't care either. Of course, he would eat a buttered brick if he could, so I was not surprised. Well, I had been waiting for the sale papers to come in the mail since October advertising the turkey fully cooked and ham dinners.
Yesterday finally they were here. I did debate somewhat over a turkey and a ham and thought about what I really wanted to get. I know that I said that I didn't want turkey, but we only eat a whole turkey once a year and they way these people can scarf down some food that bird will be gone before the end of the day. Therefore, I kept with tradition and ordered the turkey. I will do the ham at Christmas and New Year who knows?
Of course, both my sister and nephew tried to throw the words I said about not having turkey back to me but I said whatever? It's Thanksgiving and what have we always had on Thanksgiving? Maybe the next generation will change it up when they get older but for now, Turkey it is. Gobble, gobble.
