I'm a little late with this post, but apparently, I was too busy stuffing my face . . .
Yes. It is a turkey. I made a turkey for Valentine's Day. Clearly I confused my holidays. It was NEARLY as good as chocolate (which I ate later, of course).
**********************
We are off to Michigan this weekend. T's uncle passed away so we'll be attending his funeral. He was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months before T's dad was. My father-in-law died only months after his diagnosis. T's uncle hung on for nearly two years. We all new it was coming, but can you ever really be prepared to say goodbye? I need some comfort food . . . where's my turkey and chocolate?
**********************
Did you hear about the shooting at Northern Illinois? Of course you did. I graduated from NIU. Strangely, I remember being in the parking garage at NIU the day I heard about the shootings at Columbine. Sad. Very sad. Why do these things CONTINUE to happen?
Well, outside of my turkey, aren't I a bucket of fun posts today?
Let's lighten the mood . . .
Here is J . . . having a BALL!
Hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day and here is to a wonderful weekend!

Fellow NIU alum--doesn't it feel so sad and surreal to know we have been in those very seats where the shootings occurred?
What year did you graduate?

I'm sorry about T's uncle. We'll be thinking of you and the family.
Turkey for V-Day is inspired! And it looks cooked to perfection, too. Mmmmmm
That IS pretty strange about where you were when you heard about it! Sorry to hear about the uncle. I agree, turkey and chocolate is the perfect comfort food. And most of all... Love that baby!!!
I want some turkey...
Hope you, T and baby are okay and have safe travels. Sorry for the loss but may you all find comfort in Turkey, baby love and family. You'll be in my prayers.
Love.
Now I might have to make a turkey this weekend!!

I am beside myself with the NIU shooting. I keep thinking there has to be a way to stop this kind of thing from happening...I have no answers, I am just very sad:(
The turkey looks great. So sorry to hear about both your uncle and father in law. I agree, you are never really ready to say goodbye. Never.
Mmmmm, off to find some chocolate!
Happy belated V-day to you!
thanks for dropping by my blog!
i am so sorry that you are experiencing a loss at this time. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. take care.
My sister also graduated from NIU and has been saddened, as has the whole country. How senseless.
It is always good to put an adorable baby at the end of a post...you can't be sad when you see that.
So sorry about T's uncle. Turkey is my husband's comfort food as well.
That cute little baby always brings a smile.
Be Safety's friend while traveling.
I'm sorry for your loss. Death is hard no matter the circumstances. No matter if you have had time to prepare. No matter what!
J is precious. That sweet baby boy will continue to bring such joy to you. Hold him tightly and shower him with kisses!
Be careful this weekend!
P.S. The turkey looks delish! I may just be a copy cat and cook one this weekend:)
Cute photo - thanks for stopping by my blog! Please come back again. I get so excited when I get a new reader. Oh, and I guess I should warn you - I am one seriously deranged mommy.
LOOK AT THE BEEFCAKE BABY! Love his chubby little arms! :)
When I still lived in Chicago I had been to that campus several times and looked at it for college. I'm with you, what is going on with these schools shootings?
Be safe on your trip; sorry for your loss.
You are the fist person I have ever heard of making turkey for Valentine's Day. Rock on!
Have I ever mentioned that the little guy looks absolutely edible? So darn cute.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss. And yes, I think turkey is definitely a good comfort food. Good choice!
That is a very adorable picture of J! How cute!
I am so sorry about T's uncle - that is sad!
I too feel like all these shootings and terrible things keep happening. Why? What can we do to stop this?
Your turkey is making me hungry!
Okay I'm feeling highly inadequate: you made a turkey for Valentine's Day! My husband might keel over if I did that. Bravo for that gorgeous looking piece of poultry.
Safe travels.
I know. No words to convey the sadness over NIU...
Oh~ J is having a blast, look at how happy he is!
Welcome to Michigan, wish it was for a happier reason.
I can honestly say I don't think I have ever had a chocolate turkey, oh wait you said turkey and then chocolate, does that mean turkey chocolate? Ha, just kidding. Glad you had a nice meal and some chocolates! My children wanted some of MY chocolate, I was feeling generous and shared, but I poked my finger in each so they had their choice of my least favs...hey at least I shared!! :)
Safe travels!!
Sorry to hear about your loss, LaskiGal. ;'(
On a lighter note, I stopped by to congratulate you on winning that Amazon Gift Certificate. Way to go!
Smiles,
Michele
I think turkey is perfect for Valentine's...yummy! (as long as it is followed with a chocolate dessert).
Have a safe trip. Sorry for your families loss.
Sorry for your loss. The turkey looks fantastic!!! Hope you guys have a safe trip!
I know, I agree. It is frightening. I have been to NIU a number of times.
You baby is just adorable!
Such a cute baby pic... got to love the busy balls!
He's a cutie, that's for sure!
Sorry for the loss--safe travels.
The baby is all sorts of cute. I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncle - how tragic.
And that shooting? Another tragedy. There's just so much woe in the world lately! :)
Good food = good lovin. One of the immutable laws of physics. And they both make you sleepy ;)
I'm back . . . long drive. Sad trip, but there were some lovely moments. Thanks so much for all the well wishes! You are all so AWESOME!!!
