KATT'S KOMMENTS

The turkey is in the oven, the table set. Now I am ready to sit back at least for a little while. There are lots of last minute things that need to be done. Sitting here smelling the turkey cooking, reminds me of my childhood. Waking up in a freezing cold room, smelling the aroma of turkey in the oven. Those were the days when all I had to do was "show up" at the table. I think I was ten. Unfortunately as a child I didn't spend much time in the kitchen. I was outside "discovering something." If I had my choice between baking a cake and climbing a tree, to me that was a no brainer. I spent as much time outside as weather permitted. Growing up in Ohio the winters were pretty fierce.
Thanksgiving morning we always knew our Dad would be in the woods hunting squirrel, or rabbits, or whatever you hunt in a woods. There was always snow on the ground. Dad said it was better to "track", whatever it was he was hunting. I don't remember him bringing anything back from his hunting trips. Maybe he just didn't want to be in the house baking pies.
The first turkey I ever cooked was memorable. I invited my parents,sister, and Grandparents to my apartment for Thanksgiving dinner. After all, I had WATCHED Mom and Grandma all those years, I was sure I could do it! Mom offered to come "early" in case I needed any help. I thought the only help I would need would be the gravy---since I had NEVER made gravy in my life.
When I came home from work on Wednesday night, I baked pumpkin pies, and made deviled eggs. I set the alarm that night for about 4 a.m. because I told them to be there about 11!
I got up;cleaned the turkey and stuck it in the oven. The aroma that was wafting through my apartment was fabulous. I was so excited, my first turkey!
When Mom got there she was impressed with all I had accomplished. She said, "looks like you've got it under control. What would you like me to do?"
I suggested she make the gravy. I was lifting the turkey out of the oven. She said "have you already boiled the giblets?"
I turned to face her and said "What are giblets?"
She said,"that little package you took out of the turkey. Those are the giblets?"
"What little package?"
She walked over to where my beautiful brown turkey was sitting on top of the stove. She used a long handled fork to poke inside the turkey, and there they were. I had baked them INSIDE the turkey!
It's time for me to finish the last minute preparations for our Thanksgiving celebration. Its much quieter now. Our families are spread all over the country. We will call each other later just to let them know we love them and miss them.
If there is anyone in your family, or perhaps a friend you haven't spoken to in a while, why not take the opportunity today to call them, tell them you are THANKFUL for them.
I am Thankful for you.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ---I LOVE YOU
Katt
