Jim and his sprouts

[Diane CBPFC]

Just looking at the calendar - I see that someone named Jim is supplying sprouts this Christmas.

Who is this Jim and how can one get in on a good sprout deal?

Is this an advert on your calendar?
Is this calendar UKian?
Is this calendar Canadian?
Isn't this a little late to be sourcing your sprouts? They should have been put on to cook last week-end!

This is on the Beau Peep Notice Board calendar Vulture.

Look up. It's in between "My Messages" and "Members" - That is how we knew it was Peter's and Elizabeth's birthdays this week.

You should check it out because someone has put a turkey purchasing and defrosting schedule on there.

I would like to say that I do not defrost my turkey.
I cook it frozen, breast down in the roasting pan. It doesn't look very prety - but then who wants all their veggies to go cold while someone farts around carving turkey at the table like a Norman Rockwell painting? My turkeys are moist and delicious - I don't even take the gibblets out until the turkey is cooked (then I throw them away). I cook my stuffing in the microwave and not in the turkey's bum.
This has been cooking tips from the C.B.P.F.C.

I have a frozen breast this year as it's only going to be a small affair.

I must admit I'm a bit confused about Jim and his sprouts as well. WHO is doing this?

Thanks, Diane. I've never seen the calendar before. I shall check it out on a regular basis (maybe).
I don't think I'd risk cooking an unthawed lump of meat;
the gibblets are stuck in the neck and I wouldn't fancy the rest of the bird with that horrible mess inside it;
the only thing I stick up the turkey's bum is garlic and an onion;
the vegetables are ALWAYS perfect, no matter when the turkey is dished out (I don't do the veg!);
like you, I cook my sausagemeat and brown bread stuffing separately.

I think Diane's been at the sauce.

Better one frozen breast than a cold shoulder.

In my youth, the only way to get through the cooking (AND washing up) of Christmas dinner was lots of vodka and orange juice - which was the only time I 'drank/drinked/drunk?'! I have no need to do that now as I only have to cook the turkey and stuffing and get it round to whichever son is host! Brill.
