DH had a lamb shank (frozen with a marinade, then baked at 350º) from Costco this evening. They were 4 for 18$ with a coupon. He said he would have rather eaten one of the turkeys. He said while he was eating that he kept thinking of the cute little lambs at the farm this spring.
hah! let him spend a week on the sheep farm, particularly at shearing time. he'll get over the "cute little lambie" thing real fast 😉 i love most livestock. sheep are just too stupid for words, because they have had all the brains bred out of them. lee
I was born and raised on a farm myself -- brains or no brains, I just can't eat the little lambie-poos, myself. That's not the real story tho. I can't stand the smell and taste of meat. Just like some can't stand cilantro.
But he has no problem with other meat -- just these sweet little lambs. Dee Dee
They're getting ready for the big day. You can't see all of them because they're huddled, but there are 8 of them.http://i24.tinypic.com/ifrfxl.jpg
One doesn't have to wonder why turkey is what was served on the first Thanksgiving Day. Or is that all a lie, too -- I've heard that it is. (Santa Claus, Easter Bunny & Jack O'Lanterns)
Oh, well. Turkey is good. (Wayne -- none for you!)
I love traditional turkey Thanksgiving dinner.
If I won the lottery, I would have a dozen turkeys roasted every week or so. I'd keep one, and donate all the rest to a homeless shelter, but I'd keep all of the drippings for making turkey gravy. I wonder what's happening for Thanksgiving this year. I need to ask my in- laws.

Wild turkeys really came back in my area. We frequently see "turkey families" like that here.- Hide quoted text -

We have wild turkeys too, I just love them. This year two hens, one had 2 poults and the other 11, banded up and raised them all together, all of them survived. I really enjoy seeing them here at the feeders.

Once I had 28 of them lined up getting a drink at the pond. They are great birds!

What a beautiful site - 28 of them -- I could've hardly breathed ! Ours seem to be getting a little more tame coming up closer to the house now. Dee Dee- Hide quoted text -

Yes, they wer/are gorgeous bird, big, long legged and healthy. These birs seem to be a lot smarter than the domestic turkeys. They can fly and fast too.
Have enjoyed them more than I ever realized I would.

You reminded me -- my cousin born on a farm used to have a big turkey chase him. It really scared him, but here he is confronting this turkey; such a little tyke. http://i24.tinypic.com/2evuh39.jpg

I can see why he was scared, that's a good size turkey.
When I was a kid my uncle had a farm. He used to raise free range turkeys just for the family. I always remember going there seeing big birds that could just fly enough to hop up onto the fence or the barn. I also remember going there the day before Thanksgiving to pick up one of the birds he had just dressed.

That brings back memories. I was smaller than that when I first encountered the turkeys. From my memory they didn't bother us but I am sure we annoyed them.
