One good thing about a Minnesota Thanksgiving is all the cooking you do and the refrigerator doesn't hold it all, especially the turkey. We have a walk in refrigerator freezer. In the summer, it is called a Porch!!!!!!!!!! Also, if you are making an All American Thanksgiving dinner, for what it is worth, after the dinner is over, cut the meat off the carcass (takes up less room in the refrigerator) and save the carcass and if you have a freezer that will hold it put it in a plastic bag and save it for down the road (later on) and you can make the best darn soup in the world. Also, most important, as soon as the dinner is done, take the stuffing OUT of the bird. It can brew bacteria and ruin the turkey and the stuffing. Put the stuffing in just before you put it in the oven and take it out as soon as you are done with dinner.
So, to all of you Aussies, Happy Thanksgiving. It is such a good inside feeling to be thankful for what we have. God bless our soldiers, bring them home when the time is right and have an enjoyable day. One thing - will you get the Macy's parade and football (I mean American football), too? Happy day!!!!! Edie
