Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was a huge success, and this is, in my opinion, a hundred percent due to the fact that we did not kill the turkeys ourselves.

I think people forget how much work goes into killing and cleaning and preparing an animal for consumption, but last year the process was excruciating and exhausting. Plucking the feathers off of two seven-kilo turkeys is just NOT FUN.

So even though some people opposed to this idea, I paid a nice old lady about a dollar to kill and clean those suckers for us this year.

It was PERFECT.

We threw some spices on those bad boys, stuck them in the oven and four hours later we were eating some awesome turkey.

Unfortunately to get this deal I had to promise the other volunteers that we'd kill one for Christmas...

It'll be another adventure.
