They had them at Costco, Earlybird. I cannot imagine they wouldn't carry turkey fryers in the South.
I got my turkey free, too. Last year you only had to spend $100, and I got 3 free turkeys, but this year it was $150. However, with the 2 of mine being so sick, we were down to the dregs of food, and with having to get cat and dog food it wasn't hard to get that much. I don't think I'll be able to get another one, though. I had one for Thanksgiving, one for Christmas, and then donated one to DS' teacher, as her church was doing a food drive.
Hi Tangerine!! I live in Oregon, but have been to NYC multiple times, sometimes for weeks on end, and have tried to drive and fly out of the city for weekends, and have to say with those two options, there is no way I would ever attempt it. Unless your DH likes to fly over the airport forever in an endless holding pattern, or sit on the freeway backed up for hours on end. (I will never fly into a NYC airport unless I am actually flying to NYC, and we will ALWAYS pay more to avoid having a stopover there, as we are always backed up, or sitting on the tarmac for hours, or have landed, but they have nowhere to put the plane, and you have to wait and wait for a people mover to come get you.) Never done the trains on weekends, though.
SB, I feel like crap!!! They're definitely better, though, so it makes it all okay. I got too tired to look for your list, and will do so later, for sure. Mush is like grits, only made out of corn, so it tastes better, and despite the name isn't as mushy. You can make it the night before, and let it set in the refrigerator, and cut it up in slices to fry. I don't looove it, but Colin does, and I like it, and you can put maple syrup on it, anyway.
