Mr. Nagishot Turkey
Watching the boys catch Mr. Nagishot Turkey
Killing Mr. Nagishot Turkey.... well, almost killing that retched bird.I aborted the butcher-ship right about the time Mr. Turkey's head refused to come loose and his blood started squirting all over me.
It was pretty gross, but also extremely satisfying.
You see, Mr. Turkey had been attacking, scaring and bullying me for years.
The boys did a fine job frying Mr. Turkey,while us ladies whipped up a few side dishes and pies.
We ALL feasted!Mr. Nagishot Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh green beans, American Stove-Top stuffing, cranberry sauce and, for dessert, pumpkin, berry and pecan pies!!!
It was a great celebration!
