Thanksgiving

Nov 12, 2007 13:26

So, Mom has decided to host Thanksgiving dinner this year, which is cool, because like the turkey will be at our house and stuff and I'm sure they'll be leftovers and, while Mom's a total control freak and won't let me have 'people' food *snort*, she's invited my friend cjthediva for dinner and I'm pretty sure I can convince her to give me some. Okay?

Anyway, I told Mom that I would like to stalk and capture the turkey. My reasons are twofold:

(a) As a tribute to our forefathers, I thought it would lend an air of authenticity to have a bird one of us actually killed, okay? To keep it real. Everyone else just goes for convenience. Our thanksgiving would be au naturale.

(b) It would totally be fun to catch the turkey.

Mom was all 'If you can find a turkey in Central Park or roaming the streets of Manhattan, I'd be more than happy to cook it up for you.' So, quest. But now I've just learned that she totally ordered a 'backup' bird from the store in case I can't find one. AND said backup bird is already dead - and like the feathers removed and stuff. It's like a totally boring bird.

It's meat and stuff but that's not the point. Way to go with the confidence, Mom.

WTF? Anyway, I am going to try to look for a turkey in the park later this week. Wish me luck, okay? I will take pictures of it after I kill it if you want and post them. Let me know.
