But after fourth day of stuffing myself with it, I don't think I can eat another bite of turkey till next Thanksgiving. Gobble, gobble.
Had roast turkey for lunch with the family on Saturday
Cold leftover turkey with salad for dinner last night
Thinking of what to do with the leftover legs during the week 🤔
Turkey and kimchi fried rice 😋

Most of the meat I eat is turkey. I just love the stuff. My son loves the turkey meatloaf that I make and he asked me to whip up a batch while he was up in Portland enjoying Thanksgiving with the family.

So I made a batch and when my guest tasted it she found it totally addictive. Instead of eating the Turkey breast we were roasting for Thanksgiving dinner, we ended up having the meatloaf and cutting up the turkey breast and freezing it for later use. I like to use it in soups.

Roasted a large turkey breast - among the five of us it made for a great part of Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers on Friday. It was really good but happy to move on to beef tenderloin on Saturday! Those leftovers went into some tasty chili today - great four days of food!

Whole turkeys are dirt cheap and overflow the supermarket freezers in the US this time of the year, Thanksgiving through Christmas. This year, I saw USD1.50/lb. Are they shipping the birds to OZ?

We just finished off all the holiday meats,
we had:

•Spiral ham, cooked with enough sugar to kill Wilford.

•Boston butt, cooked on my cinder block pit.

•Fried Turkey breast, not very good.

• Chuck Roast, browned then cooked in the crock pot.


I finished off the last of it last night... A pork bbq sandwich, and ramen noodles with chuck roast.

It wasn't easy, but we ate it all. Except for the turkey, we fed most of that to the yard chickens.

How do they feel about eating it? And do they ever think that they might be next? 🐔 🍗

I told my wife it was like feeding apes to people. She has grown jaded in the situation.

I've seen her throwing chicken and rice out there.

The chickens don't give a damn. If you laid on the ground for a few minutes and didn't move, they'd eat you too.

We are well supplied with local turkeys (freshly dressed and frozen) during the lead up to Xmas.
Frozen turkey is readily available throughout the year. Turkey is very popular with caterers - relatively cheap and a turkey buff (breast) will feed a multitude.
Unfortunately prices here (along with most everything) are quite a bit more than you will find in the States.

As I keep repeating, Oz is a great place to live. As long as you aren't poor.
But then I suspect, nowhere in the world is.

Minimum wage in OZ is considerably higher than in the US, which is US$7.50.

I'm a firm believer in the capacity of money to buy happiness!
