I'm so glad I got a whole turkey. Hubs started feeling faint at around noon and said he thought it was from the vegetarian diet (this has happened to him before when he tried to not eat meat). He was desperate for meat and was anticipating my turkey all night! It came out super juicy and delicious along with the rest of the meal. Thanks for all of your comforting advice. I don't even think ill have to freeze what we have now!!! Happy thanksgiving everyone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958717 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 17:18:32 +0000 travelgirl1 1958717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: It's sooo good!

I do this for Sunday dinners every once in awhile, they come with a gravy packet and everything :) I say let that baby girl enjoy her first Thanksgiving turkey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958630 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:43:59 +0000 BSB 1958630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I would still cook it and freeze (vacuum seal) the leftovers for Thanksgiving throughout the year! We do it and I love Turkey when it's not November. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958623 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:38:26 +0000 travelgirl1 1958623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: <a href="https://fattyhatty.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/jamies-turkey-chowder-christmas-isnt-over-just-yet/" rel="nofollow">https://fattyhatty.wordpress.com/2012/12/31/jamies-turkey-chowder-christmas-isnt-over-just-yet/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958620 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:37:01 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1958620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: hahah yup that's what he says he will be doing!

I'll have to look for that. </p> <p>Just to give you guys an understanding of why I'm so annoyed with my hubs he went Paleo for about a day and a half 2 weeks ago. The guy is very flaky.

We were at breakfast and predictably the breakfast consisted of bacon, sausage, egg, black pudding, toast and beans (full English breakfast). My SIL asked the waitress what the vegetarian option was and the waitress looked blankly at her and said "you have it without the meat" I laughed so much!!</p> <p>Your situation reminded me of this story! Tell him he can have it without the meat!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958580 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:24:50 +0000 travelgirl1 1958580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still do the turkey then make Jamie Oliver's turkey chowder with the leftovers the next day (sooo yummy). Eat all the turkey, you are eating for two :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958572 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 16:21:27 +0000 sheskrafty 1958572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He may change his mind after smelling turkey cook all day :wink: </p> <p>Definitely cook some for yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1958483 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 15:47:07 +0000 plantains 1958483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cook it!!!!

Perhaps by the time we unthaw it he will be eating meat again. </p> <p>@Adira: might just be eaten by me but screw it! I'm gonna go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957860 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:30:06 +0000 Adira 1957860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I would be totally bummed by this too! What terrible timing! But I agree with everyone else to just make it anyway for you and T! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957849 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:24:38 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1957849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Freeze it for sure! If you can, grab containers enough for one or two meals and freeze away. I usually put a bit of gravy in to help prevent freezer burn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957842 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:22:13 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1957842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww thanks sweet bees! My husband means well and said its his love of animals that's made him decide this but i know for a fact that he won't maintain it. If he does more power to him but I feel like he is always going on these nitty last minute diets then he has a crazy reaction and goes on a meat, gluten, dairy binge! I am going to look into getting something smaller. My son may eat a tiny but of turkey but he may not since it won't be breaded. Hopefully we will have a nice holiday anyway and all the food won't go to waste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957798 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:55:05 +0000 coopsmama 1957798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others that you should make a turkey breast or small bird and enjoy it yourself! I'm sure he will enjoy the sides you make to go along with it!</p> <p>Bummer timing though. I'm sorry. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957688 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:59:12 +0000 cait 1957688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vegetarian here! I'd say eat what you want, but also that I had several "trial runs" before sticking with it, and for me, something would just remind me that meat wasn't for me and I'd feel a real aversion to it. It wasn't really something my head &amp; tummy would let me postpone (at least not enjoyably). That's just to say he might not really be being thoughtless, it's a little different than just deciding to give up sweets or something like that on a whim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957678 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:53:50 +0000 Lindsay05 1957678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cook it!

You're going through all that effort and he won't even enjoy it. I'm sorry :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957656 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:46:42 +0000 littlebug 1957656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would absolutely still make the turkey...or at least a turkey breast. His loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-i-know-but-im-kind-of-bummed#post-1957602 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:28:50 +0000 snowjewelz 1957602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously, I'd force him to postpone it till after Thanksgiving, it's just a matter of days! </p>
