Anyway, I have been on the hunt, a virtual hunt, to try and find a soy free gobble gobble for my Pilgrim tradition. After weeks of scouring the web I have faced defeat. I found many farms that do raise soy free poultry and many of them have turkeys available for Thanksgiving. The problem? I live in Southern California. Nobody that I contacted can ship to me. With the exception of one sweet man in Colorado who just put his website up for Cottonwood Creek Farms www.cottonwoodcreekfarms.com. He took his orders for Thanksgiving a while back apparently and I missed the cut off so all his turkeys are spoken for. So my heart is a little broken but not too broken. I can order chicken and next Thanksgiving I get a turkey! Yes thats right while all of you can waddle your behinds to the store to get your poultry fix I have to have my chicken frozen packed with dry ice and air mailed to me. Nice. This has got me thinking about what chicken dish I miss most since I haven't had chicken in 2 months. What to make? What to make? I just need to make sure I reserve at least one chicken I get to make some chicken broth.
Well my Butterball friends while you are slicing your bird this year, think of me, especially when you sit on your couch and unbutton the top of your pants because you ate too much and feel so uncomfortable. Oh wait I take that last part back I feel that way every night but not from eating too much I am already carrying around a turkey everyday...everyday. Is it January yet?
My soy free adventures continue...stay tuned
