"Turkey in the works"...

Here's our "gobble"... Its about 2/3rds done. Just opened up the pven to baste, & took a pic. Its only 14#. Usually we deep-fry our turkeys, but since our turkey fryer is in Colorado, & we're OTR in Illinois, we had to stuff it in the oven... *sigh*

Today's Treasure...

My daughter Katie & I went to an antique mall today... This was the #1 treasure for today!

A 12" Lodge cast iron pan... Needs cleaning & reseasoning, but a very nice pan!

You probably *don't* want to know what I paid for it!

Tuesday's "finds"...

We went thrift shopping on Tuesday. I've been wanting to pick up a table of some sort for working on my assorted crafts, including leathercraft, beading, & jewelry.

*Voila*!!! Found a drawing table, solid inch thick top, all metal base & supports, & also a nice office chair to go along with it. Got both of them for a grand total of $24.98!!!
