  1. Well, you’ve certainly delighted us all – giving us an assortment of ways to go. Thanks! I love your choices. It makes me think… Do I really want to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving this year? Because I can always get my “turkey fix” at Christmastime or on New Years’s Day. Options. It’s always good to remember we have options, right?

    Good ideas and great post, by the way!

    1. Thank you, I peronsally get tired of turkey/chicken so I thought someone else might be the same. Thanks for stopping by.
