Had I but known (turkey)

I discovered tonight that Trader Joe's this year has fresh Empire turkeys, $.50 less per pound than the frozen ones at the Butcherie. If only I'd known... getting a second turkey doesn't seem reasonable, but I would like to encourage them to stock them again next year. The guy at the checkout suggested I call the 800 number at the beginning of November to find out if they'll have them; hopefully typing this will help be a memory jog for next year.

Last farmer's market of the year today. Many kudos to the people who braved the cold rain all day to bring fresh apples, pears, and gorgeous arugula to me. (I managed to resist so many other vegetable options, surprisingly.)

And I have been well gifted today, with books about the tube (very neat; many thanks) and a new down-filled comforter (thanks, mom) (Now to get a cover for it. I'd love to walk in, find a blue cover, and walk out again (after paying, that is :-). Any recommendations for where to go?)

Bonus for Firefly fans: costumes to be auctioned, including Mal's brown coat, among many other things.
