This is viewed from the small end. There wasn't room in the fridge to
turn it sideways. This is the large refrigerator from our old house.
The turkey shares the shelf with institutional size jars of mayo and
pickles and stuff.

my goodness woman! How many olives can you consume? Do you need some sort of
olie related intervention?

Roomie #1 (the one who's planning and cooking Thanksgiving dinner)
loves them. I also snack on them by the bowl when I've got the PMS
munchies or am otherwise homicidal.

There's an odd ratio of alcohol to food in that fridge...

I think I only noticed because I don't like olives.

I eat vinegary things when I am pms-ing.

Me too. I just finished off a bowl of cherry tomatoes with cider
vinegar and salt. Now I'm going to go look for something else...

I don't exactly get PMS (no cramps, bloating, drastic mood swings,
etc.), but I crave dairy, and I need more time to myself than usual.

Not pms thank god, but I just finished a bowl of tomatoes, feta cheese, red
onions, black & green olives. Dressing was EVOO; red wine & balsamic
vinegar; sea salt and pepper..........

Is that shelf bowing? If you hear a crash in the middle of the night,
you'll know what broke.

I don't think so. The shelf is made of glass. This bird is scary,
isn't it? I'll post pictures along the way. It looks smaller in the
fridge than it does in person.

about a week before the untimely visit I start craving either grease or
vinegar or both and it is insatiable. I just cannot get enough.

Okay, I just went downstairs and checked. It's gotta be an optical
illusion or something. The shelf is nice and flat.

No PMS but I hitched with a long-haul trucker in pre-air conditioning
days who not only ate olives on his over-night run but drank the juice.
Talk about a SLURPEE.

Or, as my father puts it, unborn chicken embryos. You don't want
to know what he calls Thumb Print Cookies... ;-)

Here's a picture of Jurassic Turkey (so named by Skyhooks) in the tub,
soaking (no bubblebath). Joe put his hand next to it for comparison.
Sitting right behind it is a stack of deviled egg trays.
http://i15.tinypic.com/478k084.jpg

This is the turkey on our kitchen table. The pictures on the wall
behind it are 16x20" and the pot to the left of it is my enormous (?)
12 quart pressure cooker. Pardon the mess. We're cleaning the
kitchen, and everything is everywhere.

I have a 20 lb. turkey thawed for us and guest but the 22 lb. turkey I
bought this morning for portioning out ended up being given away.

Long story, but it was "por los' ninos" so worth it...

I wish I could afford to do more.

Some turkeys are on sale right now for $.67. I generally get 2 or three
extra this time of year, partially thaw them then cut them up like a
chicken for serving over the rest of the year. Dad and I both adore
turkey.

I sent him back to the store this evening to pick up two more before the
price goes back up.

Okay, you asked -- for anyone who hasn't made them, here's an image of
a thumb print cookie:

http://k41.pbase.com/u38/gtach/small....thumb0077.jpg

Sibling usually makes them with raspberry jam, and Dad calls
them "festered baboon assholes". He's obviously got a weird sense
of humor, which is one reason why I love him so. This is also the
guy who invented the "rice in the nose trick"... ;-)
