So, I was a little skeptical when Jason's parents said they wanted to bring a turkey from a neighbor who was raising them in Utah. I had never had a turkey that fresh. I had visions of holding the turkey upside down and plucking feathers off it and all that! I was so happy when they brought it in the house and it was clean and ready to go! Did I mention it weighed 33 pounds? And they also brought 40 pounds of potatoes from the same guy they bought the turkey from? This thing weighed more than our dog, Jessie. We were afraid he may get a little nervous! Anyway, it cooked all night in the Anway's great pit and when we opened it, it had burst open. I guess it had enough. We gave Jason and his dad the job of carving it and they couldn't help sneaking pieces off it the whole time! I can say it was the best turkey we have ever had. All the food was great! The company was too!
Who can deny the delectible bowl of homemade mashed potatoes my mom makes every year. As always, every year I am afraid we didn't make enough......
