We had some running around to do yesterday, so we went into town for breakfast then went to the Tucson Mall to walk since it was too breezy and cold to walk outside. The Tucson Mall is another HUGE mall. It may be only 2 stories, but it is so spread out that we got a great walk and workout. You still see the same usual retail stores but there were still a few we don’t have back in Va. Beach, VA. We then headed to Davis-Monthan AFB and the commissary on the other side of town. We will only head that way when our grocery list is long. For a few little things , it isn’t worth what we would use in gas. I got a great view of the sun on the remaining snow up in the mountains. If I had my way, I would have driven all the way up there just for the scenery!!
Since we found out that Xmas dinner includes ham but no turkey, we decided to have our turkey today. It is the first time we tried cooking one in the gas oven. I always thought a turkey wouldn’t fit. We found a 8 1/4 lb. one and it fit just fine. Here is a picture of our pitiful little bird! Looks more like just a fat chicken! But with potatoes, gravy, dressing, and fresh kale, it was a nice meal. But I do miss cooking my turkey in an electric oven. Our bird was so small that there are not many leftovers. That is the best part-a sandwich on white bread with lots of mayo, turkey, salt, and lettuce & tomato! Ummm…! A once a year thing since we have to watch our diet the rest of the year. Yes, we watch it alright! We watch it fly right out the window! ‘A waist is terrible thing to watch!’ Well, that just means 2 more laps around the park!
Tomorrow we should both be busy with activities here at the park that we think we will enjoy. Hmmm..more crafts! That is right up MY alley!! Don’t tell Doug! I don’t have too many hiding places left!
I can actually fit a 12 lb turkey in my oven. Just the right size for giving us leftovers. Beautiful pictures of the mountains.
