"Happy Thanksgiving, this is Vicki, how can I help you?"
"Hi Vicki, I need help."
I sound like I'm calling a suicide help-line, and I may as well have been. But I was calling the store where I'd picked up my prized turkey earlier in the week.
"What can I do for you?"
"Well . . ."
I had to explain, in no delicate terms, what had happened when I opened up my fresh, free-range, organic turkey. With a pull date of November 28th, mind you.
I won't elaborate.
Let's just say that I never imagined I'd find myself wearing dark sunglasses and pushing a cart with a rotten turkey wrapped inside a huge black garbage bag INTO a grocery store on the morning of Thanksgiving!
The good news?
I got a brand, spanking-new turkey, a free jar of pickles and half-gallon of egg nog to ease the pain.
And the new turkey was delicious.
Just don't tell my family that it wasn't free-range OR organic!

I've had the rotten run-in with organic foods. Ugh.
Ooooh - rotten? Yuk. Glad it turned out. See you soon. Kellan

Ugh. Glad you managed to hang onto your composure. *shiver*
oh... yuck.
YUCK! I'm sure the turkey was delicious even if it wasn't free range or organic!
ooooooooooooh NO! Free pickles and eggnog do ease the pain. I hope you tossed some run in that nog.
Pickles and eggnog??
Glad the turkey was good anyway!!
Ewww......
But the picture is priceless, so clearly everything ended well.
Hope you had a good holiday weekend.
