This year, apparently, Black Friday arrives the day after Grey Thursday, also known as Thanksgiving Day. It has been grey and chilly all day, with just little dribbles of rain. Not really rain, but kind of like a heavy fog. Every now and then I would be surprised by a BIG drop of rain, but it was infrequent at best. I did get the lights up and working up by the road. That is our tradition. Lights on the fence from Thanksgiving until New Years Day. We used to do a lot of decorating, but not any more. Jut the lights up by the road. I may try to sneak something in somewhere along the line, who knows. Callie has always enjoyed fires in the stove, and today was no different. She starts out right next to the hearth, and then edges herself a little further away every now and then. We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving, and that you all have LOTS to be thankful for.Turducken -- a boneless chicken stuffed into a boneless duck stuffed into a boneless turkey. Terry couldn't decide which bird to cook for Thanksgiving, so he went with a turducken to give his family and guests some options.
Did You Know? You can probably guess the origins of turducken just by looking at the word; it is a portmanteau (a word whose form is derived from a blending of two or more distinct other words) created by combining the words turkey, duck, and chicken, and the dish does indeed incorporate all three varieties of fowl. Turducken was first noted in print in 1982, although it may have been in use before that. The dish is a cousin of ballotine, a less familiar food item consisting of deboned meat, poultry, or fish stuffed with seasoned meats or vegetables, rolled and tied into a bundle shape, and usually braised. (The word ballotine derives from the French word for "bundle.")
