Bummer. I was looking forward to pics of a certain stoat, with her fur and a nice scarf flapping in the breeze on the coastal highway…..

BTW, not to be gross, but you might want to avoid anti-wrinkle cream at the local stores for the time being….

Oh, no, Scoob. My American license is still good here for a week, but after that, I’m busted. I still have the practical exam to go through. The driving part. Which is notoriously hard.

Tofurkey (and similar errors) makes no sense. If you think it is wrong to eat animals, why would you go out of your way to eat something that tastes and/or looks like an animal? Just a way of not having to live with the actual consequences of your choices. . .

I just had a turkey on white with mayo and cranberry sauce, Dawn. It was deeeeelicious!

After all that, Enas! That sucks! It’s probably got more calories than you’re allowed in a week, but we’ll send you a spotted dick, if you like. Call it a consolation dick.

Oh noes! Disaster hath struck Aunty Weasel! Someone either on your side of the pond or ours was somewhat less than entirely gentle with the handling of the Bangerz ‘n’ Beanz parcel during its voyage and the seal was popped. I’m afraid they have quite spoilt themselves. I was so looking forward to lunch today.

Thanks for the effort and the kind note y’all put in with it though. I really do appreciate it.

Oh and we had Thanksgiving last night too. We always have Thanksgiving with our friends the week before real Thanksgiving and then one with family on the actual day. And a work party and school dinner makes three and four. I guess you can never give too much thanks. Probably the real reason we don’t eat turkey again for a year.

Turkey sandwiches on white with mayo and whole berry cranberry sauce! Heaven on sliced bread.

I just wanted to let Uncle Badger in on a little secret of why Americans only eat turkey twice a year. Every year grocery stores use the noble turkey as a loss leader to get people to buy the rest of their holiday meals in that store, i.e. turkey 28 cents a pound – you do the sterling conversion. So we Americans buy as many as will fit into our freezers = two. The rest of the year it’s just too expensive and the carcass is a lot of mess and waste for poultry that tastes a lot like chicken.

Is it possible that the KFC in Old Blighty is really KFP?

Kentucky Fried Pigeon?
