6 down 12 to go

So last night was the Child Life thanksgiving dinner. It was amazing! Everyone brought delicious food, we had some beverages (some of us a bit too much...seriously i wasn't that funny E.) and we had a grand time laughing and chatting.


As you know i made some turkey, 6 of the 18 i purchased the other day(you may have noticed the total number decreased...i finally got up the guts to count my total, still a lot, but that's one less week of turkey to eat! I'm an optimist, can't you tell) . Right. So I had no idea how much would feed us so i figured make 6 (since it would go bad in my fridge anyways, remember no room in the freezer these days) and i'd have leftovers. Well it turns out that 7 meat eaters only managed to consume 3.5 of the turkey legs cooked, YEAH! What the heck is wrong with my friends, damn women!

Anyhoo now i've got 12 frozen drumsticks in the freezer and 2.5 shredded turkey legs in my fridge. I will of course document everything i do with these 12 remaining legs, how else do you think i spend my time...not writing papers, that's for sure!

Shannie, what really would have sucked would have been if those legs were too big to fit in your oven! And I'm wondering how much the turkey weighed before the "leg-dectomy", 50 pounds? Suggest you think of publishing a cookbook for your blog of all your favorite turkey recipes...

what really wasn't fun was when i realized that yes my 2 pans do fit in the oven, but together it was very very tight. One was tilted the whole time to make room for the other. OH and my favorite, forgot to get a baster...i'm going shopping for one as i've got lots of turkey to cook!

You were actually pretty funny. I mean you are the only person I know who can create a phrase on the spot such as Holy Stackum..... :)

Good times!
Thanks for being a great host.
I'll come over for left over sandwiches if you have the moist-maker.
