As Christmas is approaching fast I thought that I would pick up a frozen turkey from the Metro Store. However my plans were thwarted when my wife told me that she had in fact ordered a turkey from our butcher as a surprise.
She said that it would be better than a frozen one and we would not have to go through the palaver of defrosting it!
She said it will be fresh almost up to the time the cooking starts!!! I now anticipate it strutting around our kitchen for a few days, just getting to know us, before it meets its end.

If that is the case then I will put a cover over the oven until after the fatal moment!
