The turkey in the trunk

Yes, we cooked a turkey, but not in a trunk; we cooked it in a bag we got at the last moment. And we cooked a turkey in a last minute bag because when I got to Fairborn, I opened my trunk and realized I still had a 13 pound turkey in it. And it was starting to thaw. It had been sitting in the trunk in Kendallville at 21 degrees for a couple of days.

We had planned an unconventional Thanksgiving graze-a-thon, and we followed that plan, but we also had a cooked turkey, so we made some mashed potatoes and got more conventional. We also listened to “Come All Ye Faithful” on my iphone – a bit of tradition and technology.

Then we decorated an alpine tree in regular ornaments, cow ornaments, sock monkeys and a set of Mother’s old measuring spoons.
