It’s genetic; turkey-day preparations
I joke about being raised white trash, but it’s true, I honestly prefer Boones farms to real wine. Today, I purchased a pure hillbilly delight for my feasting tomorrow, a turkey roll. For under five bucks, you too can have this classic loaf-shaped turkey-ish substance complete with gravy. It’s not that we couldn’t finance a real turkey, or at least a breast because we’re not feeding fifteen here, but that’s one of the foods from childhood that I just loved. Yes, they let me have real food and I was well-fed as a kid, but this stuff is great. I went for the Jennie O brand, because that’s all that the store had. Being the second grocery shop I tried I didn’t want to get greedy and try for the all-white meat version, I settled for the two-toned light and dark. It’s being served alongside some very nice steak (which I don’t care for) and assorted sides, with a real, homemade apple pie from my mom’s recipe- he’s making it, but shh- I want to pretend I did more than looked cute while dinner was being toiled over.
