Following the simple directions above, my turkey always turns out tender, moist, and delicious!
I don't have a roaster, so I buy an aluminum throw-away pan and oven bags each year. We roast the turkey, then fix several pans of chex mix... then roast another turkey at Christmas – and toss the pan.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
... and a time to every purpose under the Heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
WARNING : SPOILERS AHEAD!
1) Freida and Thomas are preparing to marry. How important is it to be emotionally and responsibly prepared? Do you think sometimes people make the wedding seem more important that the marriage?
2) Mrs. Simpkins has left on vacation... Does it seem more like she's running away from Mr. O'Neal? Should they quit talking or try to work out their problems? What would you do in their situation?
3) Katie and Freida are over-worked. Their friend tells them they should hire more help. Do you think this is a good solution? Why did you think Mrs. Simpkins not hire more help before leaving?
4) Sean is also over-worked after Mr. O'Neal leaves. What should he do? Is it a good solution to have Travis help out or should he hire more help? What would you do in this situation?
5) Gwen starts helping out at the bakery. Do you feel she's too young for so much responsibility? Do you think this will help her gain maturity or perhaps grow up too fast? How could this help or harm her relationship with her family?
6) Amelia and Andrew return home together. And they're married. Do you think they married in haste? If they still have doubts or problems, could this hurt their marriage? How should they go about working things out?
7) In the last book, Katie decided she wants to join the church and marry someone who belongs to the church. Do you think she's making the right choice? Or should she give Travis another chance? Which do you think will make her happier?
