 Oops. It appears I've neglected this corner of my world for nearly a month. Seems like a good place to plunk a big ole turkey--with all the fixin's. Below is an email (letter) that I sent to my writer friend, Dom. It's good to have a writer friend if you're a writer because they enjoy writing (and reading your writing--hopefully) and so every now and then you can write something you enjoy writing knowing they will enjoy reading. One of the best gifts a writer can receive is a kind reader. Truly. Dom writes a daily blog (yes, DAILY!) and will often include emails and his responses within it:  Hey Dom, You'd enjoy this food at-home adventure: George and I had an idea back in November--Thanksgiving--that we would get a big turkey later in the winter and have it long after Thanksgiving, which is usually the only time we have turkey here. We got a 20lb turkey for $14 and it remained in the freezer until last week. We thawed it and cooked it Sunday--stuffing, turnip and all the fixings. It was so delicious to smell in the house--and it was even more delicious because we didn't have any appetizers like we do for Thanksgiving. Just got to dig in. It worked out that it was still freezing cold here, since it would have been weird if it was too springy--but I hope it's something we do again to jazz up a late winter. It felt like our celebratory dinner that the pandemic is waning. We even had St. Joseph zeppoles for dessert and I made turkey soup out of it yesterday, along with turkey sandwiches for lunch and the kids had them for dinner. It's like a big whale washed up on the shore and we're going to use up every bit of it!:) Happy Birthday today Dom! Enjoy whatever food adventure you find yourself on:) Cheers, Colleen  Blog meister responds: that's a great story!!!
