A Turkey Speaks

I have never understood
why anyone would
roast the turkey
and shuck the clams
and crisp the croutons
and shell the peas
and candy the sweets
and compote the cranberries
and bake the pies
and clear the table
and wash the dishes
and fall into bed
when they could sit back
and enjoy a hamburger.

A Recipe for Your Dog

PAN-COOKED TURKEY

1 zucchini

2 carrots

2 cloves garlic

4 potatoes

9 oz (250 g) turkey

1 apple

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Dice the zucchini and carrots into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring to the boil in 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) of water

and simmer on a medium heat for 20 minutes. Then puree roughly in a

food processor.

Dice the turkey and the apple into small cubes, and brown lightly in oil.

Cook for 10 minutes on a low heat. Then mix with the pureed vegetables and

stir in the parsley. Feed in portions, lukewarm or cold.

"Tori" earned her HRC Started Hunting Retriever title (SHR) by passing tests #3 & #4 Oct 8 & 9 at the Retrievers Unlimited HRC hunt test held in Sparta, IL, at the World Shooting Complex. She titled in 4 straight attempts. On Saturday, first dog was called in after failing to finding a bird. Next two dogs had to be handled to their 2nd birds. There was talk of changing the test because it was too difficult. Tori was the fourth dog to run. She stepped on both marks and ended any further discussion that the test needed to be changed!

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2011 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave..
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3...
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you...
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses .
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is
home to help you carry in the groceries..
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first
20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn
around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
AND NOW U R LAUGHING AT YOURSELF
