For being at the top of the food chain…
For the good earth…
For friends…
For Mother Nature…
For music…
For dance…
For laughter…
For a place to grow…
For good things to eat…
For family.
Tags: Thanksgiving
We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
What's in your turkey? We killed and butchered more than 80 birds on the farm of Mike and Michelle Klein in Prince George's County. Thankfully, Michelle did the gutting. Unfortunately, Mike bought his turkey chicks earlier than usual and they did not stop growing. Our prize for helping was a carcass that weighed nearly 40 pounds. It barely fit in the oven. Here, Mike is subjecting a slaughtered bird to the "magic fingers," a machine with a nubby, rotating barrel that removes most of the feathers.

Discovered your blog today and read a few posts that I liked. This one was nice — I especially loved the first one about being on top of the food-chain… LOL! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Great blog; hope to be back again…
