Hi all,
We're getting very close to enjoying our "traditionally bland"
Thanksgiving dinner with all the weird trimmings. Yup, we're
having one of those "chemically altered" American turkeys.
Not to worry, we only eat it once a year. But the best thing
is that I have a "license to shop" at my local liquor store!
My wine "cellar" is full and ready. I also like to purchase an
assortment of beer because my wife's niece's husband is from England
and he enjoys a "good" beer. There's a good selection of stouts,
ales, etc. in my fridge. The glasses are ready, bring on the bird!

Life is good, Happy Thanksgiving!

We're doing a wild turkey that I harvested from the woods. 23 pounds before
field dressing and nice and fat from a great summer and fall in the midwest of
the USA. A variety of seasonal root veggies and free range from my cellar.
Happy T-day to all.

What a great sized bird. I couldn't shoot one larger than 16 pounds
dressed out. I think our birds were a bit scrawny this year. That is one
reason for using reds such as Languedoc and a strongly flavored
chardonnay this year.

Hey RV,
Yum! Wish I could have "harvested" the huge male wild turkey that was banging
away on my patio door several weeks ago, but we live in a "civilized" area.
I finally had to shoo him away from the patio door because I was afraid he would
break the glass. Still amazes me that those guys can fly!

Ehjoy your day!
Dick R.

I did not think Turkeys could fly? Can they.....anyone here old enough to
remember the WKRP-Cincinatti TV Show. Les Nessman dropped Turkeys with Herb
from a Helicopter as a promotion and found out they were turkey bombs cause
they cannot fly?

Funny Show

Hi Richard,
I think domesticated turkeys lost their ability to fly years, centuries,
eons ago. When it comes to wild turkeys, the female is very graceful in flight.
But the males ...
You would think a 20+lb. turkey would defy the laws of gravity, and not
be able to do much but "waddle" around. I have never seen a male fly,
but they do! :-)
Have a great Thanksgiving,
Dick R.

Yes, wild turkeys can fly. I was golfing in South Carolina last year and
was surprised when 3 jumped out of the rough and flew away.

enough to remember the WKRP-Cincinatti TV Show.

Yes, it was a funny show and the episode with the turkeys was great.

Happy Thanksgiving! Our bird is about to go in. The champagne is
chilling for kir royales and a friend is bringing some great reds--I
hope! I am in charge of the turkey (22 pound free range) which I have
brined and am air drying. Just sauteed sausage for the stuffing. Yum!

Hey Bill, We also have a very large "free range, chemical free" turkey
in the oven. Of course the best wine match has to be: Free Range Rex
Goliath 47lb. Rooster Pinot Noir. :-) Or maybe not.
Regardless, have a great day!

I hope you're right! I'm trying it for the first time today.

Hi Joe,
We'll have it on our table, along with some other wines. Hope you
like it. We've had a very positive response in this NG.

Have a nice Thanksgiving!

So, in golfing terms, if you can score a birdie, eagle and albatross, what
is a turkey?

(Sounds like a mis-hit into the rough!!!)
