thankfully we now have very nice lives!

If I ate like that now I'd be the size of a house. Are you training for an ironman?
the portions aren’t that humongous! :-)

And I am sure you can make a turkey---do you ever roast a chicken? It will be delicious and your house will smell wonderful.
I haven’t actually roasted a chicken and one day I shall. I’ll have to do test runs! We are fans of raw veggies as well.
