Recovering Vegetarian: My thoughts on Turkey Click it!

In 1988 I apparently thought turkeys had three feathers, human like faces, and a bit of a villain look.  I had just turned 5, not too long after I decided not to eat meat.

In 1991, I did not eat meat and soon after discovered the words “vegetarian,” “vegan,” “lacto-ovo vegetarian,” and “fruitarian” from my subscription to Vegetarian Times Magazine. I think my turkey looks pretty cute.

In 2008, I thought my turkey looked gross.  I even thought the red thermometer was blood.  I did not touch my turkey until it was cooked. but…

…sure enough, I liked the way the cooked turkey tasted and not one hour after my first bite I took a nap that lasted about 11 hours.

The only problem with the Turkey is you sleep through bartime on a Thursday when you most likely have Friday off

That is true maybe next year I will be back to vegan Thanksgiving? Or better yet, Philly Thanksgiving.

Your first turkey looks like a slice of weird slice of pizza with legs.
