I snagged it at the store where I work. Originally $4.99 a pound, now $0.99 a pound. Got it for under $10. Last turkey in the store.

And farm-raised in Pennsylvania, no antibiotics, fed organic vegetarian grain.

Perfect size, sort of like a large chicken.

Succotash, baked potato. 😋 I’ll have to try that peanut sweet potato soup! Sounds delish!

buttermilk biscuits. sausage and scrambled eggs.. I have some homemade raspberry jam left.i have been looking forward to it all day.i may build a fire and roast some marshmallows and hot chocolate.

Had some today

We're in Casco Viejo in Panama and the restaurant nearby is famous for their fish tacos. I'm told they're very different from Mexican tacos so I'm excited!

We went to the Visitors' Center of the Canal today and watched some ships transit one series of locks. Remarkable.

There was also an IMAX film that detailed the history of Panama, the construction of the canal, the expansion/addition of new and bigger locks and the mechanics of how the locks work. It was narrated by Morgan Freeman, of course.

Coincidentally, today is a national day of mourning in Panama to commemorate those who died in anti-American riots on this date in 1964. Those riots eventually led to President Jimmy Carter negotiating two treaties: One to turn the canal zone over to Panama by 1999 and the other to guarantee American military protection for the canal. President Carter was interviewed for the documentary and when he appeared on screen, many in the audience applauded! It was a humbling coincidence that this national day known as Martyrs' Day fell on the same day as the President's funeral.

Using the two turkey legs from the freezer (leftover from Thanksgiving) and one bone-in chicken thigh leftover from last night. I’ve been eating too heavily this week and need something a little lighter. It’s on the stove now, will be ready in about an hour. Don’t have any egg noodles, so will boil up some penne for the noodle part.

Thinking about baking later… don’t know what, yet. Maybe a very small batch of chewy oatmeal cinnamon cookies? Still more or less snowed in so using up butter and sugar on cookies might not be the best idea right now… but my sweet tooth will probably win.

Steamed Broccoli

Rhodes dinner rolls

Drumstick ice cream cones for the guys.

Strawberry jello with teaspoon of cool whip before bedtime.

Good Evening

Creamy peanut butter in the squeeze container. I've just had a hankering for peanut butter all day... in fact my first was just minutes after the funeral!

Funny.

Bet Jimmy would be proud of you!
