OT Turkey was angraecum leonis
The many sides of the turkey, LOL! Thanks for the input. Frank & I bought a
couple of the organic free rangers back a few years ago and found them awful. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. "SuE" wrote in message ...

We always liked Butterball, but for the second year in a row, BB has not quite lived up to its usual standards. Gotta try a new one next year. Diana The Denver Post tested Turkeys this year. 8 birds all professionally cooked in the same manner, everything from the EL-Cheepo to the Organically grown Fresh Bird. I would give you 2 guesses -- as to the best tasting and best looking, carving etc... But the first one would not count. Yes, EL-Cheepo was the winner. The second was the second store's Cheepie. The third I believe was Butterball (better watch out they just re-branded the Turkey Factory in town). But as many predicted #8 with the poorest taste, driest meat, and least appealing look when cooked was the Fresh, Organically grown bird. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/main.php That had been our experience, too, SuE. We went totally yuppie for a few decades, seeking the free range turkey, paying thru the nose, being unimpressed. Then the 'brining' rage started and the cheap-o birds were very good when brined. Then this year we hit our heads "D'oh!" realizing *why* Butterball injected saline solution into their birds. Industrial Strength Brine! So this year we cooked a Butterball and it was fine. However I must say I prefered the Safeway's own brand that we brined ourselves last year. Some years ago a man collected all the turkey fat and disgusting parts that Butterball threw away, rendered it into grease/oil, and made deisel fuel out of it. It was the fisrt time I'd ever heard the term 'bio diesel' (Bio Diestle?) That idea fell with a thud. Now 6-7 years later everyone is looking at rendering oil out of cooking grease/oil/etc. Everyting old is new again. The San Francisco Auto show is this weekend and the Hybrids/Electric cars are creating quite a splash. I've long been interested in fuel cells. I know the technology probably won't fly where autos are concerned, however I'd truly like to get something along those lines to take my GH off grid. Somehow getting solar cells and inverters to charge batteries to power fans over night. I doubt I'd ever get enough power to run the swamp cooler, though. As Sundance said to Butch, "Keep thinking, that's what you're good at." K Barrett (amazingly I got back on topic after all......) |
