Fact: Question: A Thanksgiving turkey mix-up inspired what popular meal trend? Answer: Frozen TV dinners<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 1953, a Swanson employee accidentally ordered a colossal shipment of Thanksgiving turkeys (260 tons, to be exact). To deal with the excess, salesman Gerry Thomas took inspiration from the prepared foods served on airplanes. He came up with the idea of filling 5,000 aluminum trays with the turkey \u2013 along with cornbread dressing, gravy, peas and sweet potatoes to complete the offering. The 98-cent meals were a hit, especially with kids and increasingly busy households.<\/em><\/p>\n

I can’t remember if I told you or not, but I am home-schooling Scout, The Wonder Dog.\u00a0 Today’s lesson was about how to tell the girl dog’s and the boy dog’s restroom apart when we go out to dinner.\u00a0 It took quite a while, and I am not sure whether he got it.<\/p>\n

“Dad. which one is me?”<\/p><\/div>\n

Christmas seems to be everywhere. The Home Depot was playing Christmas music already.\u00a0 We looked at the decorations, but we have so many already; another one would tilt the house over.<\/p>\n

We did see Santa, and he seemed confused.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Santa is confused!<\/p><\/div>\n

We departed for Los Alamitos a little early so we could stop by H&H and do some shopping; we needed Sweetpeas!<\/p>\n

We saw doctor Rucker first, and since we were in Los Alamitos, the Fish Company seemed an excellent choice for lunch.\u00a0 We both did Idaho Rainbow Trout Farm-Raised.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Lunchtime! But wait; Mickey lost an arm!\u00a0 Mary explained the small arm was UNDER the big arm!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Fish Company is about two blocks from the Los Alamitos Medical Center so it took us jew a few minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The place was well decorated.<\/p><\/div>\n

We are both suckers for bread, and they have the best-baked bread in town.\u00a0 We devoured the bread almost instantly.\u00a0 How does the bread court his sweetheart? With lots of flours.<\/p>\n

Mary at the Fish Company, after a meal of Rainbow Trout!<\/p><\/div>\n

I am addicted to Dr. Laura, and I was reading her book called “Care And Feeding Of a Marriage”\u00a0 \u00a0I had to snap a picture of this page; it is so true.\u00a0 Mary just finished the book a bout two months ago!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dr. Laura strikes again; she is so right on!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Right after lunch, Mary took me to the Boot Barm, where she was looking for a duster for me.\u00a0 I have always wanted one. She is always thinking of me; it is so very nice!<\/p>\n

Since 1983, the Outback name has come to mean fine oilskin apparel. Using premium fabric and skillful craftsmanship, Outback offers the best waterproof oilskin apparel to fit any lifestyle. Oilskin is a cotton fabric that is infused with oil, thus leaving you with a durable material that repels water; “water and oil don’t mix!” Since the years of the Wild West, Outback Trading has evolved the oilskin fabric into fashion-forward garments without damaging the integrity of the fabric!<\/p>\n

No! It is not me; I would be slightly more handsome than this guy (for those with terrible eyesight)<\/p><\/div>\n

After Mary’s shopping spree, we headed to Huntington Beach, where Mary finally had a doctor’s appointment.\u00a0 She has a dental implant that is acting up.\u00a0 \u00a0She was in the procedure room for almost two hours.\u00a0 Every few minutes I would get a text something like, “They are about to do a CT Scan” or “They are doing another X-Ray.”<\/p>\n

Within a few minutes after the text, the windows would rattle, the lights would go dim and flicker for a few seconds, and then everything would return to “normal.”\u00a0 It was like being in a terror movie!<\/p>\n

We then headed to Dianne and David’s to do a fly-by as we had some of David’s favorite clam chowder from the Fish Company.\u00a0 \u00a0When we got the chowder at lunchtime, they gave us a large bag of ice, and we put it in the insulated cold bag we keep in the trunk of the Silver Fox.\u00a0 It was still very cold when we arrived at David and Dianne’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Yes… David is fron New England!<\/p><\/div>\n

From there, we went home but only for five minutes; Scout needed to see us, and we needed to drop off our new veggies and pick up some Beef Stroganoff for Jan.\u00a0 Off to Jan’s we went in a cloud of dust and a hearty Hi-Yo Silver!<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a bottle of wine and visited for quite a while since we also brought her the fruitcake we got at the Christmas boutique.\u00a0 The three of us killed the bottle of wine and one pound of fruitcake off!\u00a0 BURP!!!\u00a0 BELCH!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Our Friend Jan!<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, we arrived home and headed for the TV, where we enjoyed the first three episodes of Yellowstone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
