"Screwed"



I was pretty naive. Thought it was a good deal that I got a stuffed turkey for the same price per kg as an unstuffed one. What an idiot!

10 kg's or $50 of turkey



Turned into 2.6 kgs of meat



1.5 kgs of soggy stuffing



And that of course left nearly 6 kilos of bone. gristle, fat and water!

And to top it all off you had to cook it from frozen, which took 10 hours and a whole bunch of electricity.

But wait! That's not the best part. Since we're having 2 celebrations this week, in my wisdom, I bought 2 of these overpriced, undersized, over greased, over stuffed, Butterball turkeys. Idiot!

Oh well. Like everything I do, I needed to learn the hard way. Next year I'll know better.

And it don't really matter spit anyway. Tomorrow my grandchildren will be here to help us eat it, and if they don't like it, I'll just give them cream puffs and pumpkin pie….maybe some ice cream too!

Between cooking I managed to get a few workouts in, and all went well. I am less stressed about the swimming than I've eve been, probably because I'm pretty convinced that just twice a week is gonna achieve as much as 4 times ever did.

run 7.3 kms, swim, weights

"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."---Pablo Picasso

I really like that quote. Maybe cause it's the story of my life, and I'm proud of it. There are very few things I'm afraid to try, and yes indeed, I have screwed up many, many times. Life is good!
