Free Range Organic Turkey

Today, we cooked the turkey that I harvested in May. Since it was my first turkey, we decided to de-feather, clean and freeze the turkey whole. Despite the expert guidance and assistance from my Mom, it was a lot of work, and I am not sure if I would do that again, and might just take the breast next time.

Today, Jen baked the bird in a roasting bag with some chicken broth added to keep it moist. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it came out. It was moist and very tasty. It tasted nearly identical to the thanksgiving turkeys that we are all used to. Except, as I reminded Jen, this was a genuine free range organic bird.

Staycation

We have been enjoying our staycation this week. We scored some serious loot at a couple of yard sales, including a playhouse for the kids and a bike for Avery. Not to mention that Avery picked up Woody AND Buzz Lightyear for 50 cents. We also finally got to building that little patio and made our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's.
