While I didn't much care for a slice of the 20 lb bird, I did love what my mother and grandmother did with the leftover meat. They turned it into turkey fricassee, which I love.

My family is not big on keeping recipes secret so below you can follow the recipe we used growing up.

This weekend I had an accident while longboarding. I ended up falling off of my board and hitting my head on the asphalt. This left me unconscious for a few minutes which is very scary to experience. I’m no stranger to getting injured, but this time it made me think afterward. It could have been way worse than it was, but it was enough to scare me into an epiphany. You should always wear a helmet and I have very good reasons as to why. From personal experience, I can say that it is not worth putting your brain and spinal cord at risk just for a little bit of fun.
