I was expecting a picture of a loaded down Thanksgiving dinner table :\ with O'l Tom the main attraction. :thumbsup Complete with a glowing report of how delicious :drool your home grown turkey tasted. And now I am disappointed. :hit

You can thank my MIL for this. She just up and decided, she was going to fix a Butterball. I've fixed the Thanksgiving turkey, every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. And is one of the reasons, I raise my own turkeys and she fully knows this. Who knows why? Maybe she looked at my turkey Tom and seen something she didn't like?

But to avoid a confortataion, I just decide, to keep my mouth shut. My MIL & FIL won't even eat the chicken eggs my hens lay, they say it's 'not natural". I don't get that rationale, but again, I just keep my mouth shut.

I have to respect my in-laws and their beliefs, but sometimes, it's aweful damn hard. The way I look at it, they we're raised when all this factory farming and food stuff made up in a lab crap started. They believe it's better for them, so who am I to say different? I have to admit, it's still hard for l me to bite my lip though.

With all due respect to your in-laws....keep biting your tongue. But they aren't my in-laws.....you just can't fix stupid.

My sister won't eat at my house because I might serve her one of my cute little animals that I murdered. Like I said.....You just can't fix stupid.

Well the old Ford committed sucide. He had it out on the hiway going about 70 when the timing chain or camshaft gear cut loose. Of course Ford in their "Built Ford Tough" wisdom, runs the oil pump off the camshaft. So needless to say by the time he got it on the shoulder it was already grinding internal engine metal.
