A bird big enough for a dozen or more people ties up the oven for five or six hours. Anything else that cooks in the oven has to be done before hand. I could get up early to do them, but I'm not a morning person.
See and this is just one more reason to deepfry that bird. I DF 16# turkey takes less than an hour if I remember right. Sadly I have a new in the box electric turkey fryer and have never had a chance to use it.
BTW the reason the napkin goes in the L hand is so ya can wipe the mustache clean and keep going.
Oh wait that is something you Ladies don't have to deal with.
DH saw a commercial on TV for a deep fryer. It was Bass Pro, and they were selling a 30qt fryer for 39.99. Even with shipping it was cheaper than anything I have found in town so far. I ordered immediately, and we are waiting for it. We have a rooster that is going to be our test bird. He shouldn't take long to cook.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you are sooooooooooooo welcome!
glad she can make stuff & earn money...BTW,
I have beads too, does she need beads for the feathers???????
I've been beading like crazy since the tax class ended last week (another starts next week - this time in Rdemond. I'm gonna love that commute.) I'm hoping I can sell lots at some local shows. If not, I'll have plenty of gifts to give!
Anybody want to come over some day and make gifts for friends? I have plenty of supplies, you just need to pay for the materials you use (and I bought most of the stuff either wholesale or on sale). I never got around to organising a beading workshop this fall; they're fun!
I would love to come and play for the day.

Is there a reason to do this? Should they be dry?
It is easier to rake leaves when they are dry. But it rains a lot here about the time the leaves fall so sometimes one must rake leaves in the pouring rain. It is necessary to get the leaves off on the lawn for the winter. Otherwise the lawn dies. As for using the leaves for the deep litter method the leaves are a great addition. If the run or coop is wet any way then the condition of the leaves doesn't really make much of difference. If everything is dry then the wet leaves probably should be dried some first. A person really doesn't want moldy leaves in with their chickens.

PS Debbie welcome to the thread. Feel free to join in.
Okay I finally got the pumpkin pies out of the oven and two types of salad made. I also made bread dough for tomorrow. I pulled out the cranberries, and I am hoping the DD has the turkey in the brine. DH and I are going to have dinner with DD and DSiL, plus 2 Great Dane puppies and 2 Grumpy old Yorkies. It should be fun. Then on Sunday all the other kid, and cousins are coming for dinner. I think that those kids are going to be fed leftovers.

Thank you! it's under the knike right now but I will change it. LOL, like anyone cares! except me.
or you could pull the napkin partway through a napkin ring and put it several places around the plate -- I've seen it to the left of the forks, above the top of the plate, and on TOP of the plate itself
you don't have to have "official" napkin rings either, you can tie ribbons or twine in a circle, use rings from the jewelry box, or pull that napkin through anything with a hole in it, that you would allow on a dining table ---
I remember when my kids made napkin rings in school out of empty toilet paper rolls.

I had to look it up but there is a bit of difference between pollarding, and TOPPING the trees, which is what they are doing to those parking lot trees
as the sites explained, pollarding is done more with young trees, as an aesthetic measure (often combined with pleaching), while topping is what we used to caution our "yard guy" against, when we told him "don't whack them off !! cut where we marked them, to thin them out"
we do need to take the highest growth off our Maui trees, since our cottage tenant has watered and fertilized them until they have grown up to block our view down into the valley; but there are ways to thin them out without giving them a buzz cut -- I'd do it myself but I no longer trust myself to climb trees with a chainsaw

This is an example of a pollarded tree. It looks just like the Whomping Willow.
Yep, exactly what I'm talking about!
