How To Cook A Turkey
TURKEY RECIPE
I thought this sounded good for people who are buying turkey for their holiday dinners!
Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing ingredient. I like traditional stuffing, but I’m OK with trying something new. When I found this turkey recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who are not sure how to tell when turkey is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. See what you think.
- 8 – 15 lb. Turkey, thawed
- 1 cup Land O’Lakes butter, melted
- 1 cup dry stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good)
- 1 cup un-popped popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER’S low fat version is best)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan, making sure the neck end is toward the front of the oven, not the back.
After about 4 hours listen for the popping sounds.
When the turkey’s ass blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room … it’s done.
And, you thought I didn’t know how to cook … !!!!!
I thought streaking was outdated
I was amused to read in the BBC website that a polo match that was attended by Prince Charles was interrupted by three male streakers. I thought that streaking was long out of style! I haven’t heard of any streakers recently in the USA! I wonder if streaking is a frequent occurrence in other parts of the world?
Holiday Ham
For Christmas dinner I have decided to get a ham instead of a turkey. We just had a huge turkey dinner a couple of weeks ago and I want something different for our holiday dinner table.
There was a good selection of spiral cut, precooked hams at the Sam’s Club last week, and I considered picking up one then. I probably should have bought it while I saw it there – if I go back to buy it today there is a good chance that they have sold out. But I’ll go check and pick up a few more things I need in bulk. If they don’t have any hams left, I’ll head over to Honeybaked Ham and pay a little more for the ham – but it will be a really good ham.
Saturday Shopping Panic
Here it is the last Saturday for shopping before Christmas. The stores are going to be packed.
Maybe I would feel more in the Christmas spirit if I went out and did a little shopping myself. I bought a few gifts over the past couple of weeks, but I am sure I could find a few more things to pick up if I wanted to spend a few hours at the mall.
Hannah Montana Presents Disney
Contributed by Milford Woods
My favorite television station is Disney that I catch on satellite tv. Hannah Montana is a character on Disney with her own show starring herself and her Dad. Her brother occasionally gets to make an appearance but the highlight of Hannah Montana is the actress herself. She has an obvious air that her popularity is due to her own charms which include her singing voice and her blond wig. Sometimes, I catch Hannah Montana just to see her quizzical look into the eye of the camera while she is acting as if to say, you want me to act with you looking? Notwithstanding her less than theatrical qualities, her singing voice is well trained and adds a little bit of music to a program that has expected plots in story.
Hannah Montana is one of my favorite television actresses because she is a very hard working actress. Her program is proof that hard work still counts in making a series popular on Satellite TV Packages. Hannah Montana writers must spend a lot of time with the stars of the show to keep the interest level up for them as well as for us, her viewers.
What’s Wrong With This?
I got this in an email today and after much thought I decided to go ahead and place it here on my blog.
“Someone please tell me what the HELL’s wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!
We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,??????????? In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey. And now Pakistan…..home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’ receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without ‘needed’ meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc, etc.
YET…………………
They have a ‘Benefit’ for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave ‘US’ the same support they give to other countries.”
A Touching Nativity Scene To Ponder
A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard last weekend, sometime during the night some folks came across this scene.
An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep. He chose baby Jesus as his comfort. No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night.
Don’t you agree that we should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus’ lap from time to time.
This is too sweet not to share and no one mentioned that the dog breed is a “shepherd!”
A thank you to my sister for sending this to me last night!
Die Hard Series Among My Favorite Movies
Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes
I have been a true Die Hard fan since the first movie hits the theaters back in 1988, I love Bruce Willis an believe he is the reason the Die Hard movies have done so well. No other actor could do justice to the part of John McClane so brilliantly.
The original movie center around Christmas Eve where McClane, who is a police officer with the NYPD, and he decide to travel to Los Angeles to try and work out the problems in his marriage to Holly Gennaro played by Bonnie Bedelia. Of course the arrival of thirteen terrorists put a damper on his plans for reconciliation with Holly who is taken hostage along with other party goers.
McClane is not taken hostage and roams through the building become a nuisance to them while attempting to foil much of their plans. The story ends with the good guys winning of course and the hero McClane reconciles with his estranged wife in blissful harmony once again.
Now I am told that Die Hard 5 is in production and I am happily waiting in anticipation for its release, but I am going to have to check my satellite TV guide to find out when Die Hard 4 is playing, as I have yet to see the movie. That’s the best thing about having Cable TV channels, we can catch reruns of all our favorite movies.
Credit Issues
Who would have thought that our credit report would have so much impact on our daily lives? I used to think that credit was only important if you wanted to buy a house. But over the years I have learned that credit affects buying a car, getting credit cards, and even getting life insurance. So I decided to find a place that could help and discovered The Credit People have a web site with lots of good information.
There are web sites to help people with credit repair service as well as giving information to people just learning about credit and getting started, such as new college grads and even people newly widowed who never handled money before. I’m hoping that this type of information might help some one else out in their time of need and these are certainly needy times that we have gotten ourselves in.
My credit got all messed up a few years back, before my parents passed away and I took over the farm and house. I haven’t had the extra time or energy to deal with credit issues but due to my sister’s urging I have been looking around a bit online researching the different “Repair Your Bad Credit” options and offers that are out there today. You can imagine how much easier the Internet makes this task for me. The last thing I need is to be tangled up with numerous phone calls or playing phone tag throughout my busy day.
I have managed to pay off most of my credit card bills, but there are still two of them that have some pretty high balances on them, with some pretty steep interest rates being charged each month. I’ll be able to breath a bit easier once they are done and over with, and I’m so looking forward to that day.
