The view from our window this morning
A low pressure system moving up the Atlantic coast creates perfect conditions for a huge dump. We are expecting up to two feet of snow in the Washington, D.C., area between now and tomorrow morning. In other words, plan to be indoors. We will be working on leftovers. Can you say, “turkey soup?”
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.
