“Oh, I’d love to be an Oscar Mayer wiener.
That is what I’d truly like to be.
‘Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener,
Everyone would be in love with me.

Oh, I’m glad I’m not an Oscar Mayer wiener.
That is what I’d never want to be.
Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener.
There would soon be nothing left of me!

About 3-4 years ago my mother decided that it was time that each of her six daughters take a turn in preparing the turkey. While each sibling has individual dishes that they are assigned to make, the main bird has always been prepared by my mother, who is an excellent cook.

I am an average cook and I love to tease my mother that it’s her fault, because she didn’t like people in the kitchen while she was preparing food. Over the years she has taught us each what we want to know, though when it comes to Thanksgiving we are always in such a frenzy that it’s never been the focus of showing anyone how to prepare and cook a turkey.

Thank goodness for the Internet, which has made it easy to find out anything you want to know. When it was my turn to cook the turkey I learned all about brining and that’s the way I went. No one passed out in sickness, so I would say that it turned out pretty good. 🙂

Happy Turkey preparations!

Reading the news…

Anymore reading the news is so discouraging and yet it’s good to stay informed about what is happening around the word as well as your individual locality. Though it’s always best to remember that news is often reported with a heightened sense to evoke the greatest emotion that sells. I have respect for the written word, but dealing with the news media in my professional career has definitely given me a new perspective on how news is reported.

Reading an actual newspaper would be somewhat of a novelty for me now since I read most of my news via the computer or my favorite gadget my trusty handy tool the iPad. Even in Second Life, it’s great that we have magazines that keep us informed. I love perusing blogs, though most only report credits and to keep up with what’s new in the fashion world, those blogs do well. Though I also love to read what inspires creations and the motivation behind a lot of what happens in this virtual world. A friend just sent me a link to Fierce magazine, which you can check out here. Happy reading!
