Doing some catching up! I spent the week of Thanksgiving in New Mexico; first visiting with family in Las Cruces, then birding with friends in Socorro at the Bosque del Apache NWR for four days, and then back to Las Cruces for a day after Thanksgiving dinner with my mom and her husband.
Thanksgiving day turkey dinner was at the restaurant next to our motel in Socorro, the same place where we had breakfast most days. The photos of the meal came out blurry but the food was really tasty and plentiful. We had the senior's plate for $7.99 which included turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, a salad, a dinner roll and pumpkin pie. We all got the pumpkin pie to go!
Back in Las Cruces, our day after T-day dinner was a small fresh turkey that had been split to cook on the grill. Due to issues with the grill, the bird was baked in the oven and having it split made it so easy.
