Grandma’s headless turkey chase
|
Howdy Reader! First off, I’m so thankful you’re part of this email community. It’s a noisy world out there, and the fact that you open, read, and often reply means more to me than you know. Thank you. Now, as many of us start prepping for Thanksgiving, I have a very important culinary question: Do you burn the “hairs” off your turkey? I stumbled on an article about Thanksgiving prep in the 18th and 19th centuries, and boy, did it make me grateful for modern conveniences. The short version: today’s grocery-store turkeys make life easy. Back in the “good old days,” getting ready for Thanksgiving was more like a horror movie. My grandma used to tell stories of chasing the turkey across the yard and handing it to her dad at the stump. Yep, they had a dedicated stump for this. The worst part? After the deed was done, the headless turkey would run around the yard chasing her. That’s an image you don’t forget. And then came the singeing. Turkeys didn’t arrive plucked, washed, and neatly packaged. You did it all yourself, and any leftover “hairs” (pinfeathers) had to be burned off. Blech… At the very least, we can be thankful we won’t be smelling singed turkey feathers this year. If you’ve got a wild family Thanksgiving prep story, hit reply—I’d love to hear it.

Howdy Reader! First, a quick story. I don’t know about you, but our family has a habit of sending funny videos to each other, especially from Instagram. I shared a funny clip to my daughter Abby, and she responded to me, “Dad, that’s AI!” So two things… First, I was a little embarrassed. I’m the guy who talks and trains people on AI, and I let this slip past me. Second, based on her reaction, does humor hit differently when you know it’s AI? This really got me thinking: Are we (as creators,...
