Safe travels Snow and Grant and anyone else traveling. Enjoy and don't forget to eat up! :)

Snow-- I love stories about your ma. Seriously, I think you should write a book or come to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. :hangloose:

There is something about mothers and menus and schedules. Mine has been on about the menu and the shopping and such for 3 days and we went shopping Saturday wtf......she might be stuck on repeat.....and her looped commentary when we did talk just now... "Oh that's just so much food.." REALLY Mother? You have a 12 person dining room table and 5 cars. Having extra is a lifestyle choice for her.. :| She can't rain on Turkey.Day, I won't let her. :praying:

Poor Tom Turkey
 

Only in FloriDUH

GULF BREEZE, Fla. (AP) — Investigators say a neighbor and his friend used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill a Panhandle family's pet turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner.

Sheriff's deputies arrested two Santa Rosa County teens — Joshua W. Anderson, 19, and Jacob H. Provo, 18, Pensacola News Journal said.

They told deputies they planned to eat the 30-pound turkey for Thanksgiving.

They're charged with armed burglary, armed trespassing, theft of livestock and animal cruelty.

Animal lovers Brian and Christa Caponi live on 6 acres in Gulf Breeze and have more than 50 dogs, cats, goats, chickens and other animals.

They told the Pensacola News Journal that Tom the turkey was special because he was so friendly.

In fact, Christa Caponi said Tom was more like a family dog than a turkey.

When I read this it angered me and made me feel sad for the family. Their pet was killed. But, then I thought...why does it count as animal cruelty if it is an animal that people kill and eat every day? Hundreds of thousands of turkeys (ok, more than that), are killed and being killed for the Holiday. Is it how a person defines the animal they own that determines the law? It wouldn't be animal cruelty if the Caponi's killed the turkey for their Thanksgiving Dinner.

The "theft of livestock" covers the whole, it wasn't their turkey that they killed, thing.

Just something to think about.

Maybe?
 

Maybe their family was hungry....

Today is YOUR day Tom!!
 

He's been washed, patted dry, and well seasoned! Nom nom nom!

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but that certainly is possible. Of course, they said it was going to be for Thanksgiving...maybe no money for a turkey? They weren't siblings, though...

Poor Tom! :|

No sarcasm
 

No, it wasn't sarcasm I'd read the story DUH and all in another thread and stopped to think maybe they were hungry. I've been hungry before so I went there. I'm pretty aware though that the reality could be is that they're douche bags. Not because they're from "floriduh" but because humans are are gross with one another we just can't help it.

If they killed the poor fella for fun, hold them accountable. I'm not sure of their intent, it's just hard for me grasp the harming of the innocent it pisses me off.

Yum! The Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed.
It's time for it to be free again, and graze.

I, for one enjoyed the ham more. . and I may just be eating more ham in the coming years!

Continue to be thankful everyone!

Yes please. I would like to sample this once.

Welp, I suppose my mother is REALLY in the minority this year with the kid now away in the Army. I don't think TF will be making turkey this year for one person! Sorry, Mom (actually, TF would, but I am sure mom is fine with skipping it).

ANNNNND it begins. Mass produced, pump them up with antibiotics and growth hormones (so healthy for us humans!), and shove them into small cages piled on top of one another (both the birds inside the cages and the cages on top of each other, of course), driving down the open highway freezing in the freezing cold, on the way to their death.

Yes, that was the day I was no longer so keen on turkey.

-smh-

(no offense to you turkey eating folks).

Woot woot!
 

Tom Turkey Day is my FAVORITE American Holiday!!!!!

Because of the serious food allergies my granddaughter has, my daughter searched far and wide for a turkey raised without antibiotics, not GMO-grain fed, not injected with that solution mass-producers use to artificially "plump" them and that the turkey was pasture-fed.

Yes, no free turkey at the supermarket for them.

That looks like a hoot. I love Woody Harrelson.

I've always liked this thread

Tom Turkey has a pardon form me this year,one of my pool playing buddies gave me a haunch of venison,so I will be haveing deer roast for dinner.After I finished processing it I have a lot of steaks and a fue roast.I will cook it slow and long in the smoker well seasoned then tighly wraped in foil so when it comes out of the smoker it will be tender and juicy..can't wait.

Wipe the drool from my lips
 

Every time you talk about cooking, it always sounds so friggin delicious! I will be in California visiting my buddy FR, who doesn't like turkey, so I am cooking a ham and scalloped potatoes. Canadians have turkey for Christmas, anyways, so I will be doing a dinner for the family in Dec.

hugs all

Hon, I cant help if i'm a foodie and love to cook,it comes as natural to be as breathing.I'm shure that FR will injoy the meal you are fixing it dose sound really good.

So excited!
