Turkey Prep Tips from Orlando

Well, the great thing about a blog is you can do it anywhere, anytime, with a laptop and a wireless connection; like here in Orlando on a fall break vacation with the family. While my wife reads to my son and the girls are texting their friends back home I can catch up on some e-mail and the blog as day 2 in Orlando comes to a close. I must confess that the one thing I think I like the least about Orlando, as someone who does not know enough about the area as I would like, is the utter lack of local eateries that are family friendly, like those great "greasy spoons" I loved so much back in my home town of Rochester, NY. And when you do find something that might have that family friendly potential, the curbside appeal, the staff and/or the menu are cause to keep driving down the road. What makes it worse is that when asking the question, "Where do the locals eat?," the recommendation is a chain restaurant, too!

Oh well, the search will continue in the remaining days left for that "Diners, Drive-thrus, and Dives" kinda place anywhere close to where we are staying. In the meantime, if you, your students, or anyone else you know is looking for some turkey cooking tips, recipes, etc., here are some resources from the National Turkey Federation, enjoy: https://exchange.purdue.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.eatturkey.com/consumer/thanks.html
