Happy Thanksgiving!

If you're like me, you're probably busy this morning slaving over a hot stove while trying to keep your little ones from wreaking havoc before dinner time.  We will be spending our time over the bridge at my aunt's house today and luckily for everyone, I was not tasked with making the turkey this year.

The closest I've come to making a turkey this year was decorating the cake above during our company Thanksgiving lunch earlier this week.   I'm quite proud at our ingenuity in 15 minutes, and our ability to make use of surrounding objects.  Carrot beak, cranberry gobbler, or cinnamon stick legs anyone?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!- Shirley

Turkey Anyone?

While in the Oakland Hills today, I stumbled upon a unique sight. From our parked car, I noticed a turkey calmly walking down the hill. He seemed stunned from the flash of my camera at first, but it didn't stop him from walking right by my car (all while keeping his left turkey eye on me of course).
In fact, even when a car came racing up the hill, do you think it deterred this turkey? Hecks no! He kept his model-like posture (I think it was his long legs) and cocked his head and gobbled as the car past him by, as if to be saying, "Gobble Gobble you're getting a little too close there, buddy... Gobble...!"
