Perfect Turkey Every Time: Use a Reynold Plastic Bag

 To make the perfect turkey every time cook it in a ReynoldsPlastic Bag.  I cooked an 18 pound turkey for thanksgiving for three hours stuffed.  It was moist and cooked all the way through in a short time.

Just take out the giblets and neck.  Then put the defrosted turkey inside the bag.  Cut slits with a knife to let the air in.   

It's so easy you don't have to baste and its very tender.  

I also went outside to pick herbs from our garden.  In Texas the temperatures are mild enough to keep the garden alive.

Dressing tastes better with fresh peppers, cilantro and oregano.  

I give thanks for our beautiful eggplant.

My mother used the same Thanksgiving turkeys for the table.

45th Lakewood Home Festival

For 45 years Lakewood Elementary Early Childhood PTA welcomes visitors to their neighborhood as they let people tour beautiful homes in East Dallas.  It is a wonderful fundraiser for their school.

Because of Covid 19 it was curbside this year.  There were six homes on the tour.  

Circus Circus was the theme for Lakeshore Blvd home.

This Colonial Revival style home was originally built in 1940.  

The 80 year old home has withstood the test of time.  

In Lakewood outdoor seating with two lime pedestals look inviting. Large Oak Trees drape across the homes like a canopy of time.  

Each person who paid 15 dollars got a wrist band.  You could enjoy the tour by walking, biking, gold carting or car.  

Each home had something unique to offer.  

The neighborhood offers the feel of a small town in a big city.  

They raise funds for Lakewood Elementary, Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School.  They also partner with Peace Pantries that provide food to families who need assistance.  

More than 400 East Dallas families helped with the project.  

Giant jugglers entertained children.

Fresh Brewed ice tea was served.

Crafts were made for enjoyment.

Peace Love Lakewood was a great motto.

Cotton Candy was served with pastel colors of sweetness.

The tickets were for sale for only 15 dollars.

Kids had a chance to make a circus inspired keychain as a takeaway!
