Lemon's drop-inn

-hugs Star- Are there any Food banks or church food pantries that can help you with getting food? There are several places around here that give out food for Thanksgiving. Our nearby foodbank gives out food every other Monday.

at the store today I used a $10 off a $50 purchase at the grocery store and I noticed that fresh foster farms turkeys were on for 98 cents a pound

[Watery Star]

Nice.

Meanwhile I knew there were a sale on cupcakes so I asked for some. S.o. buys the ones not on sale in a larger quantity. . .

now there's a coupon for the frozen turkeys at .49 cents a pound.

[Watery Star]

I don't know if we're getting turkey or my mom is going to make something.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'm going to go look today at what is out there. With Turkey's being so cheap I may just get the whole bird, I'll see how expensive just the breast is ( which would probably cook faster anyway?)

[dragoness129]

We got a Turkey that is almost 19 pounds.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

That's a nice size! Are you going to bake it? barbeque it or deep fry?

[Watery Star]

That's big!

My parents want to go out to eat but had to tell them I couldn't do that :/

[dragoness129]

We are gonna bake it. Maybe one year we will try deep frying it, but not yet.

My step-dad wanted a lot left over. Though there will be 8 people here on Thanksgiving.

Deep frying turkeys is dangerous!

I've never tried deep fried turkey, just hear about it.

[Watery Star]

You have to be careful deep-frying anything don't you?

So we are getting a pre-cooked turkey. My s.o. is going grocery shopping now and getting the turkey on Friday, that day before we need it.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

The pre made ones can be good too! Still end up baking it though - just not as long! Or I guess you can cut off what you need and eat as you go?

[Watery Star]

I think we stuck it in the oven to reheat it before.
