The turkey is out of the oven!

That's a 12lb bird, the smallest they had in the store. At 47 cents/lb, it's cheaper than most chickens. Yeah, I know that there are "heritage turkeys" that supposedly taste better, but at ten times the cost, that makes them food for "employed well-off yuppies", of which I am zero for three this time.

I pulled the foil off it a little too late, so it's not terribly browned, but ecch, so what. I now just have to keep an eye on it so George doesn't get up and taste it. I'm doing baked potatoes, veggies and bread and that is it. Probably 80% of the meat will become baggied-up for sandwiches and whatnot.

Enjoy your meal!

Update:

Ready to go to the table:

And it was good. The cats that wanted some turkey got some.

I may not have a job this Thanksgiving, and maybe the prospects aren't so hot. It is what it is. I have my health, a roof over my head and my cats. I'm not destitute. My immediate family and my friends are in good health. So there is much to be thankful for this year.

I hope your Thanksgiving has been a good one.
