Turkeys to the slaughterhouse

J sent me a video of Palin speaking to the press in front of turkeys getting slaughtered. Yesterday, I went to Rouses and OH MY GOD there were millions of people there and I was standing over the cooler looking at Butterball turkeys (frozen Butterballs are best for deep frying) and all they had was small or huge, and as I went up and down the aisle buying the typical turkey feast ingredients, I looked around at my fellow shoppers and all of them had this glazed-eye look – almost as if we were moving on a conveyor belt towards our own slaughterhouse – lemmings, sheep – I felt like shouting why are we doing this?

But then my attention was turned to the riveting news on the magazine stands – at least three said Jen and Angelina are exchanging barbs.

    You fry your turkey frozen? if so that may be why it didn’t cook last year….i am frying two tomorrow but dd a test run about a month ago…definitely thawed first.

    No you have to thaw first – but you have to buy a frozen Butterball, not cook a fresh turkey. The turkey last year was too big.
