rotisserie feature in her princess oven.


Much better plan. Roasted or rotisserie is the superior way to prepare a
Thanksgiving turkey. I don't bother with any of that crap, though. I just
pay a visit to the Winn-Dixie store and get their turkey plate lunch. They
roast their turkeys and carve the white meat right in front of you. You
pay by the pound so you can get exactly as much as you want along with all
the side dishes. No pots and pans to clean up, no dishes or silverware to
wash. Throw away the wine bottle. Throw away the styrofoam container. No
muss, no fuss.


Then heading to Galveston for a bit of long board surfing or beach
combing depending on surf.


Ewwwww! I wouldn't want to do any beach combing in Galveston. I've read
where there may be hundreds of people unaccounted for and pets and they
may have been washed out to sea or drowned in the surf. Rotting bodies
will surely be cropping up.


Happy Thanksgiving to ya.

Bring along a pair of pliers for yanking out gold fillings from the bodies
and a pair of dikes for cutting rings off of swollen fingers. Happy hunting!

Not even funny guys, and the wrong place. The Chambers county wetlands
are the place to look for bodies. They say there is still a pile of
rubbage 30 miles long by 20 feet high. I have not heard how many are
still missing. Meet a X USCG chief that was washed off crystal beach
across Galveston bay and ended up being rescued near Morgans
point...about 30 miles. Many many were washed with him and he is the
only one I've heard of that survived the night.
