Dark or White Meat--Assign. #139

DsDesignsSillyBird.gif

Weekend Assignment #139: It's time for Thanksgiving dinner! Which do you prefer -- white meat, or dark meat? Explain your answer. Because it seems that most people have a preference one way or another, and sometimes they can get testy about it.

For those of you who for some reason disdain the whole turkey scene, answering "neither" is acceptable, but you need to explain why and offer an alternate dish for consumption.

Extra credit: Being Thanksgiving, note one thing you've been thankful for in 2006.

My answer:  White Meat--no question.  It's better for you, less fat..  I mean, if you are going to be eating A LOT on Thanksgiving, best to eat the white meat.  I'm not much of a meat eater, but I will have a few thin slices of white meat, passing up the gravy.  I'm all about the sweet potatoes!!

Extra Credit:  I'm thankful for my beautiful family, my loving and understanding husband, a nice warm house, and good health.  I'm also thankful that hubby's new business is thriving!!  YIPPEE!!

Hi Julie!  I haven't spent a lot of time in your journal, pero entendi casi todas las palabras portugesas.  We're practically neighbors, you know . . . just a few hundred miles down the coast in Ventura.  Thanks for stopping by my journal and leaving comments.  Blessings, Penny

I prefer and appreciate any kind of meat as long as it's cooked by somebody else!
And when it is presented I will eat it all, white meat, dark meat and I could just eat the skin as a meal.  
Too much too be thankful for too list but I would like too say that I am thankful for it all!
