Wild Turkey Chase

Ordering groceries is very common in London. If you think about it, it makes sense. Your nearest store is likely a small corner one and you have to walk everywhere so you can never buy more than you can carry.

We had the brilliant idea to order our Thanksgiving meal ingredients last week to be delivered this morning so that everything would be worry free! Plus we were having a hard time finding a turkey so this solved that problem (turkey meat is a lot less common than in the states - there are hardly any turkey sandwiches here! Only chicken or ham... I guess chicken for me!). 

This morning, the delivery man showed up right on time... but he was turkey less. Ummm come again? He was really sorry and very nice about it; they just didn't have any turkeys or cranberries in stock! He brought raspberries to replace the cranberries and then realized I was probably trying to make cranberry sauce to go with the bird. I hear that chicken and raspberry sauce go quite well together ; )

This sent my mom and I on a wild turkey chase to the nearest large supermarket and then the bird rode the bus with us home. Quite an experience but we found one, and it's now taking up our entire fridge space- lucky bird!
