HAVE A GREAT TURKEY DAY...

Try this recipe and see how it turns out for you

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken or turkey
1 large lemon, cut into halves

Sprig of rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken/turkey until it is completely coated.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;
Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one on each side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.
Place sprig of rosemary into the chicken/turkey.
Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes.

Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.

If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken/turkey should look like the one in the picture.

Bon Appetit!

5 Years


Well last week I was handed my 5 Year employment gift package and stuff. The company put a bunch of money into this one and the people I work for just blew it. First off we had a meeting to tell us we had some important meetings Monday and Tuesday about all our benefits , health.. dental vision etc. Then the CEO and his stooges hand out plastic bags to people they call out. its our anniversary awards etc... still in the bag. never opened.. I opened mine and find a very nice acrylic placket and 5 year pin in one package that Would have been very nice to present. also there is a large letter mailer type cardboard envelope, I openedc it and find that the company has set up a gift selection that you can choose from.. VERY NICE package.. Corporate spent big money on this one.. TO BAD the local management didn't give a crap enough to open the package that was labeled for the presenter.. they really blew it.

I got home and went right to work setting up the washer drier .. then had dinner and tackled the dishwasher,. this one took a bit longer than I expected but its in and working fine.
now i need a hot shower. I got several loads of cloths done and they are going much faster than the old machines.

A day of caching

Yesterday the twins and I attended Second Annual Florida Finder's Fest (Geocaching Event) We had a great time. We had to leave the house at 6:15am and stopped to get something to eat prior to hitting the road for the 2 1/2 hour drive south to the   Ocala National forest. WE arrived at the event to find a large group ready to enjoy the day of caching and getting to know others. The boys hit it off right away with some of the kids that were there, and they decided they wanted to play and not go on the caching/ hiking part of the day. We hiked about 5 miles of the Florida trail, found ten event caches and had a great time.
We didn't see any wildlife but saw plenty of sign.
Its true bear's do Sh#$ in the woods, and I have photos to prove it.
