The Thermapen seems to be working well today, but DH decided to order
this one http://tinyurl.com/8o67pq to have on hand. I see the
Thermapen is up to $109 now - incredible! I won't be replacing it at
that cost, I don't believe, so I hope the one DH ordered is good.


IMO, that's a rediculous price to pay. I wouldn't spend that much on
one,
either. I like the looks of the one your husband ordered. I might even
get one of those myself. I only have a dial-type instant read model.



Well, the Thermapen is not working today :-(( so we'll see how the new
one
works. I'll let you know.


Yes, thanks, I'll be interested in knowing.



I might add, that I didn't eat one bite of that turkey. But I did
break
down and have a breast slice today while the oven was cleaning.

I usually eat a token slice at the first meal when it's freshly carved.
Although this Thanksgiving, for wont of something else to make a
sandwich,
a did eat a breast slice and found it really quite good. For some
reason,
this particular turkey breast I roasted this year didn't seem to have
either the flavor or smell that I usually detect in the turkey I don't
like.


That's odd about not having the smell this year because .....
DH made a fabulous gravy today, and I made some white bread, so he served
turkey slices and gravy over the bread, and it did not have that yukky
taste/smell either. This was 'not' an organic or 'free of pesticides and
hormones" special turkey, just a fresh young hen bought at Costco.

It's probably a conspiracy to get us to eat turkey. :-)

Ours was the usual frozen Honeysuckle White bone-in breast. I had always
found that it had the "least" offensive smell and taste. I was really
surprised this year.

Merry Christmas to you both, stay warm, and be happy!
Dee Dee


Thanks, Dee Dee! It's almost here. :-)
