Yup, amazing what all is out there! I try something new each trip to the
store but it's getting harder to find something 'new' so it's oft a new
recipe in a unique way I've not tasted now.

Heheh I like Turkey but not enough to have it several times a year.

Post thanksgiving when the sales start, I'll get an extra this year for the
freezer which will get used around March or so (I have the extra chest
freezer so have space to do this). I'll have to pay full price for one for
now. Not sure what that is yet.

Charlotte has not had many full turkey roasted dinners that she can recall,
because we were overseas til she was almost 14 and we didnt have a stove
able to handle them for quite a few of those years (small Japan ones,
commisary only having huge 30lb birds by the time we got there etc). Last
year, we had our big oven but our stuff was still enroute. We made do with
a disposable pan but the meal wasnt real fancy. This year, I dont get off
work in time to help but we can get a little upscale.
