my own bacon would be better but I use the comercial stuff for this sort of thing. My own is too precious to use. It gets savoured on its own. If only they could grow a pig with 10 bellies.
You never heard of a beer garden, ? Don't make me take a pic of my Bud Lite Lime tree. LOL

The rest of the story
On the plate
Those beer vines must have cross bred with my squash. Or sprung up from the odd beer cap that landed in my garden. I also have a funny looking tree, but the fruit is not ripe yet its a Bud Light Lime tree

How did you know I purchased the Turkey in the USA ? I'm from Canada. Yes turkey is cheap in the USA I think I paid $1.04/lb I travel back and forth accross the border and spend the winter months in Florida too.

Chicken is even cheaper 4-6 Lb birds are from 65-85 cents a pound. They smoke up mighty nice too.
Another favourite is pork shoulders at around $0.90-1.00/ lb. Great for pulled pork or just for cutting into chunks to make sausage.

Could you explain how the turkey was butchered? It looks like it legs are on back to front...

Bingo Thats what I did, It enables a big bird to be cooked much quicker than if left in tact.

Off topic, I know, but lobtser is really cheap right now. I bought a live 4 pounder from Maine at my local grocer for $5.99 per pound. And made lobster rolls with Wheel's soft roll recipe!
