Sounds like you were lucky to even have survived Thanksgiving! The worst
thing that happened here was a turkey with gorgeous, brown and crisp skin,
but not a single drop of moisture inside. It actually turned into sawdust
when I tried to slice it. Reminded me of National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation, where they cut into the turkey, and all that came out was a puff
of smoke.

We're going to have lots and lots of soup. I'm not sure what else this
stuff is good for. I *am* going to make one of Jill's Turkey Cottage Pies,
though. All we need is peas and wine. Minnesota doesn't sell wine on
Sundays, and Crash doesn't like it anyway;. But there *will* be peas. <G>

Thanks for sharing your story.
