Kitty Thanksgiving?

i heard some news report that said turkey was up an average of 78 cents lb
over last year, the "BIG DEAL" in the paper here was spend 40 dollars and
get a ten lb turkey for nine dollars. Lee

Really folks - if the Pilgrims had called it "Sound Agricultural
Practices
Day", I'd be overjoyed. Doesn't the first syllable "Thanks", by
definition,
make it a religious holiday?? I'm happy to get the day off, of course.

Never heard that one before. No one is asking you to say grace or recite
a prayer over dinner. I certainly don't. That doesn't mean I can't
appreciate a day that celebrates a good harvest and good food

I usually purchase a turkey because they're so inexpensive for a week or
two,
and keep it in the freezer for a few weeks to avoid any association with
the
holidays. Haven't done it yet, as the deals aren't particularly
spectacular
this year.

I've been hearing complaints about the price of turkey this year. And the
lack of "spend $XX and get a free turkey" deals, which used to be quite
prevalent. Personally, I don't care for turkey. I usally roast a cornish
game hen. Persia likes the turkey & giblets Fancy Feast so that's what
she'll get as a treat.

Good luck in your search for an additional cat.

In the news today,we were told about charities giving thousands of
turkeys to the needy - one company donated 4,000 turkeys. I guess the
higher prices are meant to offset those gifts.

i hope thats it, we used to get several on the cheap price and put in the
freezer as we both enjoy turkey and DH would get big birds, debone and
roast, we tried to get six so we had it all year round, this year with no
freezer that won't happen, and with no oven for the first time ever we had
to order one of those precooked meals, its gonna be interesting for sure,

Don't think I've ever had one of those. This may be an almost-impossible
question to answer, and I hate ending a sentence with a preposition, BUT:
what
are they like?

LOL That reminds me of an old joke. This isn't the time for me to tell it


Cornish game hens (aka rock cornish game hens) are very small chickens.
They usually weigh about 1.25-1.5 lbs. and are nearly all dark meat. The
breast meat is white but, unlike turkey, doesn't have the tendency to be
dry. They are also the perfect size for cooking for 1-2 people. I like
leftovers as much as the next person, but it used to be nearly impossible to
get rid of all the turkey leftovers. Turkey sandwiches, turkey pot pie,
turkey tetrazzini, turkey soup... there's a limit how much turkey a person
can take YMMV.

Jill

definitely ymmv for us, DH often debones, and roasts the turkey, then we cut
and freeze after cooked, can have roasted dinner, as well as those other
things, never had too much turkey, lol, but i like the dinner you are having
also, my mom is fond of "chucas, " which is going towards quail, i am not as
fond of those, but you might try them if you ever see them somewhere, Lee

Well, since the Princess turns her nose up at anything even vaguely
resembling 'people food' (and she's fussy about her cat food, too!),
I'll just take the time to sit down and give her extra pettings.

In other words, it'll be a day like any other.

For those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, whether you're
in the U.S. or are expats or who have friends who want a "traditional" Usian
Thanksgiving... what about your cats?

Persia doesn't get people food. *She never has (except what she managed to
steal off my plate when she was much younger and I left my plate untended on
the coffee table for about 10 seconds!) *But I've got Fancy Feast 'Turkey &
Giblets' for her on November 25th

When we had our Canadian Thanksgiving last month, I gave Rusty some of
my
turkey. That was the first time he had people food. He wasn't sure
what it was at first as his food always came in a can, or dry pellets.
But he ate
it. It was also the last time he had food I cooked myself as he went
to RB 2 days
later.

I was planning on giving Lorelei as much Fancy Feast as she can eat!

Looking at pictures of her I think that's rather a lot of FF! :-)

How are things with you two?
