To Wash or Not to Wash... Your Turkey?

Hi Mr. Price, While reading your post again, it reminded me of the first time I allowed my (#1) wife cook everything for Thanksgiving...She insisted on "Serving" Me, as a surprise that day.

Well, she didn't know that there was a Giblet pack inside, so she didn't feel for it, but instead, she stuffed the bird over top, and behind the pack. She did say that she always saw more stuffing come out of the same size turkey, but I didn't comment. I knew something was going wrong, but she didn't want any help from me, so I stayed away from the kitchen. It was found when she was serving up the meal.

She wasn't stupid, even though she felt like it. She just didn't know. Her Mother didn't teach anything to her about cooking, cleaning or other life skills, which are important to the success/happiness of any one person or family.

She didn't fail with my "Surprise Dinner", her mother failed to teach her how to do it. "Common Sense" is a thing learned, taught or observed, and not a Birth Right.

All people are not as smart or wise as us, so try not to dump on anybody who is only attempting to help, and expecting nothing in return.

Think about this, it's nothing like "Obummer Care", we are not FORCED to do it against our will. It's an information system that only suggests. If we decide to reject it, that's up to the individual reader. We can also unsubscribe too.

Yea, some people already know this information, or have a Better Way, which qualifies to the end point. But this is disseminated to assist the billions who don't know what they are doing in the kitchen.

Young couples must rely on what was taught or learned in various ways, but they struggle with many of the every day issues, because they simply don't know.

I am particularly thankful for this arm of government that has been formulated for one purpose...to provide meaningful safety information towards bettering our health and daily living.

To me, some of it may be foolish...then I chose to delete it, no foul / no error.

I appreciate everybody who is behind providing this bit of wisdom, and applaud them.

Mr. Price, I hope that you don't think that my reply's purpose is to ridicule or mock you. It's not, it's just my positive thoughts With your post, not condemning it.

Thank you for your input, I do hope to hear more from you in future posts.

-SLH

A common Human...with a little common sense, but still found wanting.
