Thanksgiving

We went to Kevin and Debbie's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Each family brought different items for dinner and I offered to make the turkey. I went over and over what I wanted to do with it, but I fell back on the same ol' thing. I put butter under the skin and smear it around and then salt, pepper and herb the top of the turkey. I'm a very big fan of the oven bags by Reynolds. They are so easy to use and help keep the turkey moist while browning the skin:Mmmmm fooooood:Then it was time to take the rest of the meat off the turkey. Doug's cousin, Lance, helped me and we ended up laughing pretty hard. As we were taking all the meat off the turkey and breaking it apart it started to look like a skull. Lance used his forearm as the lower jaw of our "wolf skull" and we were cracking ourselves up making roaring noises. Then we noticed another portion of the turkey looked like it could be the lower jaw. ****THIS IS A TURKEY SKELETON, NOT ADULT CONTENT**** I was laughing and saying we could turn the family into vegetarians if they were paying attention to us. Then Lance's daughter wanted to see what we were doing and we showed her the "roaring wolf skull". She made us laugh even harder when she said it looked like a pterodactyl. Yep, it's gross, but it was pretty funny.To end on a less disgusting and totally random note: Aren't fall leaves beautiful!!How was that for a total change of subject. LOL
We had a great Thanksgiving and even went shopping yesterday evening. Old Navy was open on turkey day, so we took advantage of it. It was actually pretty busy. I would have kept shopping if more stores were open. I bet more stores will be open on Thanksgiving next year. The outlet malls around our area started opening at 8pm and then a majority of the stores were open at midnight. I don't venture out on Black Friday because I avoid crowds, but it was nice to go shopping with Doug, Debbie, Bonnie and Paige yesterday.
