No goofin' around either! Professional grade all the way - turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing...the works. We were poised to deliver on our vision too until...
T'was the day before Turkey and all through the house, not a creature was thawed not even the bird...
We're happy Safeway.com customers. We love the convenience of home delivery (especially considering the topographical variability of the seven San Francisco hills). Part of the Safeway.com terms and conditions provide the shopper/driver the flexibility to substitute unavailable items with similar product(s). In most cases, this certainly isn't a big deal. ...until the delivery is scheduled for the day before Turkey and the unavailable item IS THE TURKEY. It officially became a big deal at 6p on Wednesday when the replacement item proved to be a 14 lbs frozen turkey. Rut-ro!
Fortunately, Safeway also prepares rotisserie turk's on Thanksgiving! I'm happy to report that Thanksgiving dinner went off without a hitch.
On Friday we drove up to Sonoma to further enjoy the holiday break. One hour drive time to/from wine country makes for a convenient weekend escape. ...it's a little bit lost on me though because I'm not a wine drinker. Nonetheless we had a real nice Thanksgiving weekend. Here we are at the Sunflower Caffe.
AND...
Once we arrived back in San Francisco, Ted (the 14-pounder) had thawed. I baked an extraordinary Sunday dinner and we'll be eating turkey for the foreseeable future.
Happy Turkey, everyone, happy turkey. Let the Christmas holiday season begin!
