More Turkey Chili with Corn & Chickpeas?
Does anyone have any suggestions for the use of ground turkey other than turkey chili or turkey burgers? I was thinking perhaps turkey tacos... or maybe turkey stuffed peppers. I really have got nothing other than that. Maybe burritos with ground turkey? It's really frustrating. There's not a lot that you can do with it. I guess it's the same as ground beef. I'm just not so much a fan of ground beef.
I'm also jonesing for some three bean casserole. I love that stuff. I can never really make it the same way as my mother though. It's very frustrating.
So the other day at work were were reminiscing about our first cars. There were the typical station wagons and civics. Then there was me. I'm sure a lot of you remember my first car. The souped up golf cart was awesome. I was like the only one of my friends that knew how to drive a stick, the steering wheel shock like crazy when you hit 70 miles and hour - once you got up to about 75 it was find again. It was crazy worn out and battered, thanks to big Bro who had it first. It broke down a lot - like the time it broke down on Collingwood Ave at 10:30 at night when the clutch went out. Or the time that the electric module went out at 2am during tech week and I was driving people home. We had to push it to the gas station (thanks everyone - for all of you who drove by honking and laughing. That was nice... truly I appriciate it to this day.) Or how about the time that I was over by SFS and I was driving AS home, and those ghetto guys tried to ram the car - then when they couldn't and I stalled the car out - they jumped out of the backseat of their car and started kicking passanger car window in. That was a little scary. Or when I hit the deer at 3am on the Maumee Trail. That was great too. So many awesome memories.
Then I started driving the soccer mom van. That was just as great. It was huge and terrible and gross. And the german kid put a cigarette burn in the seat - and then he put ketchup on KVWB's mom's car. That was awesome. Or when I parked it at Josh's house and it got egged. His mom thought it was b/c someone at work didn't like her. Crazy shit yos. And then Little Bro totalled it when I was in school. That was bad. He really totalled it. I went with mom to pick him up form the accident site.
Or best yet - when we went toilet papering and I thought I lost the keys in the front yard of the person's house that we TPed and we went back to go look for them. They ended up being between the seat cusions of my friend's car. His mom found them when she cleaned the car like a month later. Still to this day I'm not sure how we missed them. Then when my friend drove me home my dad freaked out and wouldn't leave the car sitting in an empty parking lot all night so that we could go get it the next morning - and he made me go do an hour round trip to pick it up....
Those were the days man. Those were the days. It cracks me up how many people have such great stories from when they were first driving. After a while those great stories seem to dry up. I'm not really sure why. Maybe we don't drive such POS cars anymore?
Now all of our great stories seem to revolve around people's relationships and the stupid things that they do. I thought that there was relationship drama back then - it's like mad crazy now. Mad crazy stories.
It's interesting to see how people change their moral outlook overtime. Some of the things that I believed in high school to be so completely immoral - I've done some of them, and I've watched some of my closest friends go through some of them. Things that seemed really wrong and bad back then - I know it's much more complicated now - and they don't always seem so wrong now given the circumstances. I like to liken it to when I was in grade school I had a 8 bit black and white world, by the end of university I had an 16-bit gray world, and now I'm at 32bits. I'm not sure I can handle the jump to 64. I've made it through before though.
Here's something else I'm pondering - do vitamins actually do anything useful for you if you eat a healthy diet? Or are they just marketing tools, and useful for those who eat fast food everyday?
