Contrary to what you might think, this post is not about holidays.
My son, being a witty young llad, has named the 2 remaining tom turkeys “Thanksgiving” and ‘Christmas”.
My dilemma of course, is which one I should keep -
You see, I thought it was understood that we were going to keep them both and I would put them both in the freezer. However, my lovely wife offered one of them (or was talked into offering one) for sale to a new customer. They wanted a fresh chicken every week – but we had to explain to them that we take orders for chickens early in the season, buy them, raise them and then have people come over to get them – and I will butcher them for them when they come, if needed. So, I think she decided to sell one to this customer as a consolation for not having any chickens to sell them.
So the question remains, which one should I keep for myself? Thanksgiving or Christmas? Quite honestly, I do not want to part with either. But a decision must be made.
I guess I’ll have to “weigh” the decision carefully. That will tell all…
