Turkey road block

This year we ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas lunches. We've always hit the local supermarkets before, and bought the pre-packed junk ones.

This year we decided to order one, and we saw an article on Bobs Turkey farm, in Lancaster MA.

So today we headed out into the first snow of the year (dropping an inch or so), crawled down Route 2, navigating around the recent spin out of cars (3 of them had spun seconds before we got there, and were trying to turn around), and headed over to Bobs.

When we got there, we lost it. We were both laughing our pants off. There was a traffic jam right outside the farm. They were lining up to get in. This place has 10,000 Turkeys to sell this Thanksgiving, and they have 15 or so parking spots. It was absolutely hysterical watching the police who were trying to navigate traffic properly standing around in snow and playing musical parking spots with the Turkey Farm customers!

We got in and out, and now have a 14lb, freshly butchered Turkey ready for dinner on Thursday :)

Now for some food and cooking, before heading out to get my parents from Logan airport tonight - their flight has been screwed up and they are now flying through Chicago, from Manchester England to get to Boston. Thanks American Airlines, fuckers!
