Family Planning Centers reviews in Durham
Even though I told them over the phone I was only 5 weeks pregnant, the physician's assistant that saw me asked me why I came in so early for an exam. I didn't feel like she was very understanding that this was my first pregnancy and I didn't know what I was doing. That was practically the first thing she said to me, which was not very polite. Then, she did a vaginal ultrasound and told me that I wasn't even 5 weeks along and my dates were off. I knew my dates couldn't possibly have been off...a pregnancy test doesn't even detect pregnancy as early as she was suggesting I was. She said to come back after 9 weeks, didn't ask me if I had any questions, and left. Since I didn't like that PA, after I was 9 weeks along I went to a different doctor at another hospital. Come to find out, I had a blighted ovum and lost the baby, which is why I didn't look 5 weeks pregnant on the ultrasound. Had that PA spent more time speaking with me, I we may have figured that out and I wouldn't have gone almost 10 weeks thinking I was having a healthy pregnancy. "
This hospital stay was my first but I have a lot of hospital experience when my mother had cancer. This visit for me was the birth of my first child. I must admit that learning they only had 3 birthing rooms made me nervous. I should not have worried. The attention and expert care was exceptional. The doctor was always nearby at his practice and he stopped by on his lunch hour just to see how I was doing. I ended up with surgery and I was not released for 4 nights but they made the stay as comfortable as possible. My new daughter and I received the kind of attention and care well beyond what you expect from a hospital these days. I am truly happy with my experience."
Her exam was fine. But they billed us $1200 for the exam and lab work! Then the billing nightmare began. They agreed to reduce the bill by 40% because my daughter did not have preventative care in her insurance plan. I paid them and several months later the same bill, same amount came. Called again. Was told it was an error by . Then another bill a few months ago. called again spoke to "

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Royal MTB Royal Racing Hexlite Shorts:
Well I just bought these and these are my first pair of "true" mountain bike shorts. I typically wear a bib with a pair of shorts over top for durability. I have wanted to try a pair of dedicated shorts and figure I would give these a try. They are nice however I recommend you buy your proper or "true" size. I listened to the other reviews and ordered a size up. Well the short are way too large and kept falling off during the ride. The liner was also too large and is baggy in the rear. The material on these is super nice. It reminds me of swimsuit.I don't have much else to say as that was my first and last time wearing the short due to size. Sadly now I am out $50 and have no shorts. Remember to get your proper size!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sizing Error!
By Don
from Minneapolis, MN
A simple, just what you need, pair of baggy shorts with removable, snap-in, liner. These do have a longer, just below the knee, inseam length. Great for MTB or commuting.However, as of this posting the sizing listed with the product on the site is drastically inaccurate. I even read Aaron's review prior to ordering and got a size up, but I would suggest that they are off by two sizes. I am between a size 33-34 and the M(36-40) barely fits a size 32-33 at full extension. I also ordered a pair of Fox size 34 and they fit perfectly.I would recommend the following sizing as a more accurate portrayal:XXL (40-44)XL (36-40)L (32-36)M (28-32)S (24-28)
Beware of sizing
By Aaron
from Christiansburg, Va.
Sweet and simple, these are really nice quality shorts and I'm looking forward to using them. However, be aware that there is a sizing issue on the site. Don't know what the source of this problem is, but I ordered a size small, which the site shows fitting a size 32-36 inch waste (the waste is adjustable). I am a size 33-34 and the size small would be lucky to fit a 32" waste on the largest waste adjustment. I couldn't even pull them together to snap them. The awesome folks at Nashbar are exchanging them for me with no problems (as they always do), just be aware when ordering that the sizing is considerably smaller than what is dexcribed.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

The only fly in the 10/40W is the K5 GSX-R1000, which is so utterly brilliant there ...
599cc, 108bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
Triumph wowed us all when they beat all the Japanese manufacturers to putting a fuel injected engine in to a 600cc sportsbike. Shame about the glitches. Later Triumph TT600s are better but the handling and brakes have never been in doubt: they're awe-inspiring. Dodgy looks but a true Brit.
599cc, 97bhp, 136mph, Insurance group 12
That engine still isn't perfect but it ain't half bad. A bit snatchy around town but, out in the open, it's a dream. Alongside that handling and those brakes, you're in for one hell of a ride on board the Speed Four. Incredibly capable and beautifully built, its distinctive looks are ideal for those who don't want to go with ...
599cc, 110bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is lighter, smoother, faster and infinitely prettier than the TT600. What's more, Bruce Anstey won the Junior TT on one in 2003 which goes to show what improvements Triumph made to their 600cc sports middleweight contender. The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is a beauty: an involved ride with excellent handling, amazing brakes and it's good value.
599cc, 111bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 15
Although a great bike and almost certainly the best value of 2006's 600 class by 2007 it had been overtaken by the sublime, new-that-year Honda's CBR600RR, out-revved and raced by the track-happy new Yamaha's YZF-R6, lacked the intoxicated triple drive of Triumph's 675 Daytona and lacked the cutting edge aggression of the new-for-2007 Kawasaki's ZX-6R. If you can take all that with ...

Former Riverfront Timesstaff writer Mike Seely (now on staff at our sister paper the Seattle Weekly) has won a 2006 Unity Award for his March 2005 story "The Resurrection of Carl Officer," which profiled East St. Louis' prodigal whiz kid as the once-and-current mayor labored to revitalize his hometown and his own political career.
Sponsored by Lincoln University in Missouri, the Unity Awards in Media recognize journalism that exposes issues affecting minorities and the disabled. In this competition, the Riverfront Timescompetes against all major print publications nationwide. Other winners this year include Newsweekand the Associated Press, as well as Patty Calhoun, editor of Westword, RFT's Denver sibling.
Critical Mass Almost resembles an actual compliment: Well, OK, finally a not terrible issue of the paper. A cover story on who exactly it is who drives all those trucks we depend on to deliver the consumer culture to our doorsteps; a piece on censorship in what amounts to the public square, WiFi networks; an interview with a band that includes at least one musician who speaks intelligently about punk music; and a calendar item on the emerging arts district on Cherokee. Almost resembles actual journalism.

Feature, May 11, 2006Truckin' Westhoff hits nail on head:Great article["Let's Roll!]! Thanks to Ben Westhoff for taking the time to research the topic. I am the director of a truck driver-training program in Quincy, Illinois. Our courses are certified by the Professional Truck Driver Institute, of which I am also a board member and evaluation team member. In certification visits to dozens of schools all over the United States, I have seen very bad training, very good training and everything in between.
I would like to invite your readers to visit us. We would love to show you how quality training works and even put you behind the wheel on the training range and on our $100,000 simulator. We would like to show what a difference proper training makes. We understand that training someone simply on how to pass the CDL test is not only wrong, it's dangerous and puts public safety at immense risk.
Schools offering courses certified by the Professional Truck Driver Institute understand the importance of providing the industry with properly trained entry-level drivers who are extremely safety conscious. Come on up and give us a test drive, we would love to show you the difference! You can also visit our Web site at www.jwcc.edu/instruct/TransPubSaf/truck.

Westhoff picks on homeless:Shame on Ben Westhoff for picking on homeless people in his article on trucker training. The St. Patrick Center does a great job helping get these folks back on their feet. His repeated insinuation that the homeless are incorrigible criminals only reinforces the public attitude that once a person hits bottom, he should stay there forever.
The St. Patrick Center offers a comprehensive program to deal not only with lack of housing, but with the problems that landed a person there in the first place. This leaves their graduates in good shape for employment and life.
Perhaps Westhoff believes the homeless should spend the rest of their life panhandling and bunking at Larry Rice. Thank God that Dan Buck, executive director of the St. Patrick Center, has a better idea.

But don't be so foolish as to pass up this young band; they're touring on the strength of their unbelievably promising self-titled debut EP, a 12-minute disc that begs repeat listens after the music ends too soon.

Gorkys Hernandez Rumors
Braves Near Peavy Deal?
According to Scott Miller of CBSSports.com, the Padres are expected to request Jake Peavy waive his no-trade clause to go to the Braves. The deal being discussed: Yunel Escobar, Gorkys Hernandez, Charlie Morton or Jo-Jo Reyes, and Blaine Boyer or one of two minor league southpaws. Miller says the Padres are leaning toward Morton and Boyer.
The Braves want an answer by Friday, so they can figure out their free agent needs. Peavy is said to prefer the Cubs, but we'll see what happens if the Padres approach him to waive the no-trade for Atlanta. It hasn't happened yet.

Rosenthal's Latest: Hardy, Flowers, Wolf
Another day, another column from Ken Rosenthal.
- With multiple vacancies in the rotation and bullpen, the Brewers may need to see what kind of pitching Mike Cameron and/or J.J. Hardy can bring in return. GM Doug Melvin is not ready to shop Hardy. He's received interest, but most teams have not given names (one team suggested swapping him for a pitcher Melvin termed, "a fifth starter.")
- The Padres have asked the Braves to substitute catcher Tyler Flowers for center fielder Gorkys Hernandez in their Jake Peavy offer. Dave O'Brien sees this as unlikely.
- If they can't sign Mark Teixeira, the Angels are ready to shift gears to C.C. Sabathia, Francisco Rodriguez, or other players. The idea of a Manny Ramirez pursuit was "tabled rather quickly."
- The Cardinals plan to add one or two lefthanded relievers, probably free agents.
- In his quest for righthanded power, Reds GM Walt Jocketty inquired on Matt Holliday and Josh Willingham before they were traded. Purely speculative – Jermaine Dye could be a nice fit.
- At least half a dozen teams have expressed interest in free agent starter Randy Wolf.

Jake Peavy Rumors: Tuesday
12:14pm: Dave O'Brien agrees that the Braves are growing frustrated waiting on Kevin Towers, with the free agent open season creeping up.
10:21am: ESPN's Buster Olney has the latest on the Jake Peavy trade talks.
Olney says the Braves and Padres are making progress, despite Ken Rosenthal's report of Atlanta's frustration. Olney says the Braves would send Yunel Escobar and Gorkys Hernandez to the Padres, plus Charlie Morton or Jo-Jo Reyes. They're haggling over one last player, with the Padres eyeing southpaw Jeff Locke.
The Cubs are still in the mix, and a third team would be included to flip pitching to San Diego. One way or another, the Cubs would give up Josh Vitters and others.

Jake Peavy Rumors: Monday
Summing up this weekend's Jake Peavy information…
- David O'Brien noted that the friendship between Padres GM Kevin Towers and Peavy's agent Barry Axelrod has raised some eyebrows. O'Brien also learned that Peavy's concern over Yunel Escobar being in the deal was overblown – it's more a general concern that the pitcher joins a strong team.
- On Saturday, Ken Rosenthal had the Braves and Cubs as frontrunners with the Yankees and Dodgers on the backburner. He said the Padres discussed keeping Peavy if offers do not suffice. The Braves were said to be growing impatient.
- Astros owner Drayton McLane indicated the Padres' demands for Peavy were too high for his club – "multiple players and some of our best players."
- Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times had it as a race between the Cubs and Braves, with the Dodgers a long shot. De Luca said no other teams will be considered at this point. A Cubs deal would apparently include Sean Marshall, and possibly Kevin Hart and Mike Fontenot. Jeff Samardzija is not in the mix.
- Dave O'Brien says the Braves' offer looks something like this: Escobar, Gorkys Hernandez or Jordan Schafer, and one or two pitching prospects (possibly Charlie Morton or Jo-Jo Reyes among them). Tommy Hanson is not in the mix. O'Brien agrees that it's between the Braves and Cubs, and likes the Braves' package more. O'Brien expects a deal before Thanksgiving, which is November 27th.

Jake Peavy Rumors: Friday
1:47pm: This Scott Miller column is from yesterday, but it has some good info. Miller's source believes the Braves are the frontrunners for Peavy and are willing to include Gorkys Hernandez. Additionally, the source said the Cubs are very aggressive and the Dodgers are making a strong pitch.
12:53pm: Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald says Samardzija is not on the table and has a full, not partial, no-trade. Additionally, the Cubs have not thrown Fontenot into the mix. Miles gives a 50-50 chance of the Cubs getting Peavy.
9:39am: GM Kevin Towers expects to trade Jake Peavy before the winter meetings, saying, "The train's kind of left the station." Continuing the metaphor, Barry Axelrod said, "The only thing we've got is a brake."
According to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, the Cubs have moved in front of the Braves in the battle for Peavy. Passan says the Padres want Jeff Samardzija (who has a limited no-trade clause), and the Cubs could also include players such as Felix Pie, Sean Marshall, Ronny Cedeno, Kevin Hart, and Donald Veal. Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times suggests Rich Harden or Mike Fontenot could be involved. De Luca notes that a Peavy trade would probably prevent the Cubs from acquiring Brian Roberts. ESPN's Buster Olney believes Josh Vitters would have to be involved, while the Daily Herald's Bruce Miles adds Jose Ceda, Welington Castillo, and Mitch Atkins as possibilities. Miles does not see the Cubs as a player for C.C. Sabathia, by the way.
The Padres would prefer a deal with Atlanta, but can't pry Tommy Hanson loose. The Braves are willing to trade Yunel Escobar, Charlie Morton, and Jordan Schafer.
Meanwhile, Tom Krasovic at the San Diego Union-Tribune says Peavy and Barry Axelrod are concerned about the Braves' shortstop situation if they are to include the defensively-talented Escobar. Perhaps the Braves could sway them by outlining some contingency plans at the position.

Tigers Acquire Edgar Renteria
Big news! The Tigers made an early strike to improve the shortstop position by acquiring Edgar Renteria for youngsters Jair Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez.
The Tigers will owe Renteria roughly $6.3MM in '08 and have a good chance of exercising his $11MM option for '09. They've added a five-win shortstop in Renteria.
The price was reasonable. Jurrjens turns 22 in January and can probably jump into the Braves' rotation. He throws in the 90-93 with good control. Kevin Goldstein projected him as a future middle-rotation guy. The one concern is that shoulder inflammation surfaced in August of this year.
Hernandez is the potential star in the deal. He turned 20 in September and should man center field in Atlanta for a long time once he's ready. He's a burner with solid defense, but he's yet to grow into his power. He's still a ways from the bigs though. Goldstein recently ranked him the game's 10th best CF prospect, behind the Braves' own Jordan Schafer and others like Jay Bruce, Colby Rasmus, Andrew McCutchen, and Jacoby Ellsbury.
All in all, I think the Tigers did quite well here. I'd like the deal a bit more for Atlanta if I felt that Jurrjens could provide 180 solid innings in '08. Will Carroll and the aforementioned Goldstein contribute some additional analysis at BP. Sounds like this one began under John Schuerholz.

Foods where home made and store bought are totally different.
- t
- tastesgoodwhatisit May 2, 2011 08:13 PM
I was thinking about this while drinking orange juice. It's currently orange season, and there city is peppered with fresh-squeezed orange juice trucks. Literally, it's a guy with truck full of oranges and a gas powered juicer. The juice is fantastic; fresh, pulpy, and with an almost green taste to it. However, it tastes absolutely nothing like any store bought juice I've had, no matter what the label says.
So I was wondering what other foods there are where the version you make at home, and the version you buy in the grocery store are so completely different that you would have trouble telling that they're nominally the same food. I'm not talking just about quality - my spaghetti sauce is infinitely better than Prego from a jar, but you can tell that they're both spaghetti sauce.
Another example would be mayonnaise. Homemade, fresh mayo made with egg yolks and olive oil and jarred mayo from the store are so different as to be two different types of food.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Salsa, indeed.
re: goodhealthgourmet
So true! Though I haven't tried to make almond milk at home.
re: brsmith2
I think some of you may be missing the OP's question. I have had store bought bread and guac but the bread was still bread (though not nearly as good as fresh, home made) and the guac was still green and mushy, tasting faintly of avacados but I could still tell they were trying to make a guacamole. I think some of the processed cold cuts at Subway are so tasteless that I could not tell you what kind of meat they are with my eyes closed., definitlely unrecognizable flavor.
re: LorenM
i think we sort of need to meet in the middle on this one in terms of interpretation, as taste experience is a highly subjective matter. take the OP's OJ example - i'm guessing if you yanked any person of the street and fed them one or the other of the two juices described, they'd still identify it as OJ.
and re: guacamole i was actually going to add that one to my list as well. in my extremely limited experience with the store-bought variety, none of it has ever even tasted like avocado to me.
my homemade versions of the things i mentioned are different enough - in taste, texture, or both - from their store-bought counterparts that to *me* they might as well be different foods.
re: goodhealthgourmet
ghg, the guac I was thinking of in replying to this was indeed a different food! Upon tasting and grimacing and then reading the label, I found there was no avocado whatsoever in the product. None. It was green and mushy. But that was about it. Live and learn, I guess. The price of laziness...but I've never fallen victim to that particular lazy impulse since!
re: cayjohan
Store bought guac is gross- no doubt and contains very few avocados. I guess I was taking the OP too literally. I did think of another one- chicken and dumplings. From the can they are nothing like the good drop biscuit dumplings I grew up with on top of the chicken stew. Canned c&d just has these little white mushy balls for the dumplings.
re: LorenM
Boy, isn't that the truth with dumplings? They just don't seem to survive the ride from home-made to ready made, at least in the way we're discussing. Back in my college days I tried a couple of cans in a fit of home-taste need and wondered what the heck I was eating, as it sure wasn't what I was expecting. Maybe that's the secret boon with some store-bought stuff: it makes us motivated to make it at home and get what we're really looking for!
re: cayjohan
There are about five different packaged guacamole brands at my grocery store that are at least 95% avacado that are actually pretty tasty. And about 1-2 faux guac dips consigned to the lonely place in the cheese & dairy section that's next to the Velveeta.
re: beachmouse
beachmouse, the faux guac I got was merch'd exactly like that! (Little local market where I'm much more likely to fall prey to the must-have-that whim!) I've since tasted a few of the 95-percenters at others' homes, and found them...okay - although my pissy little "I'll just make my own" has left me a bit spoiled, even with the lousy past winter of avocados. My biggest gripe with the guacs (95%) I've tasted is that they've been *flavored*, and didn't have the vibrant ripe avocado taste standing out. Sorry I don't have brands to cite - I didn't pay enough attention at the time. I wouldn't spit them out by a long shot, but they just don't taste anything like fresh guacamole to me anymore. But: like I need to hork down guac. Believe me, I could!
My aforementioned faux guac? You hit the nail on the head with the Velveeta neighborhood reference!
Your post is a bit confusing and is very subjective. I think OJ from a supermarket is inferior but it tastes like oranges to me. On the other hand, Prego from a jar tastes NOTHING like what I grew up eating in my Italian American household. If you gave me Prego and I tasted it blindfolded, I would think you were giving me heated up ketchup with some spices added.
re: ttoommyy
Totally agree!
But we have to remember, there are loads of non- Italian Americans who grew up on jarred sauce. Maybe they can make a darn good home-made sauce now - but they still probably associate the jarred sauce taste as the norm.
We have that Sunday gravy in our genes and will never associate jarred with the real thing!
re: jeanmarieok
"Homemade pasta vs the usual store bought dried stuff"
That is comparing apples to oranges. Dried pasta is not an inferior version of fresh pasta. They are two absolute different foods. Fresh pasta may contain olive oil and eggs in addition to the flour and water. Most dried pasta is flour and water only and meant to be that way. Both are widely used in the best restaurants in Italy. Which is used depends on the sauce and the mouth feel the chef is going for. The two types of pasta should NEVER be compared. :)
re: ttoommyy
:) I am with you on this!
re: natewrites
A hearty second on the baked beans. Homemade baked beans are sublime! (And you get more than one measly little chunk of salt pork...but I'm tipping my hand on my predilection vis-á-vis beans. <grin>) While I can certainly *tolerate* canned, the miles between, say, Bush's, and homemade are just too far to travel back. Especially with a dish that doesn't require that much effort other than oven-tending.

Home to Some of the Tiniest and Healthiest Schnauzers in the World!
Spoiled Rotten Schnauzers is rated as one of the highest caliber micro teacup, teacup, and toy schnauzer breeders within the Country! Not only that but we are famous throughout the United States for providing some of the most beautiful, healthiest and tiniest toy, teacup and micro teacup schnauzer puppies in the World! Our toy and teacup schnauzer puppies originate from the best bloodlines out there and our pedigrees are hard to beat. Not to mention we offer one of the most impressive health guarantees you can find online, For those that don't know, toy and teacup schnauzer puppies are very smart, quick to learn and easy to train. They are also a hypoallergenic non-shedding breed. We are Located in Utah, but families come from all over the world to adopt one of micro teacup, teacup and toy schnauzer puppies. Yes, we ship.
We are a Devoted Family Company
Spoiled Rotten Schnauzers is NOT a kennel. We have a strong passion for this incredible breed and enjoy having our micro tcup, teacup and toy schnauzer puppies live inside our home as part of our cheerful, fun-loving family. They live down on the ground (NOT in cages) and that WILL show as "proof" in their personality and training. Our schnauzers are absolutely 'spoiled' with the best quality of life a dog can get which is why they are always so happy, well socialized and comfortable with daily household noises and routines.
Can't Decide Whether a Toy, T-cup or Micro Teacup Puppy is right for you?
Let us help you with that…
Toy schnauzer puppies are known to do well in any loving environment and are awesome to travel with. Toy schnauzers are small but not frail which makes them an all time favorite. They have a very friendly, cheerful, social, interactive, playful, affectionate disposition and get along fantastic with other dogs, cats, children of all ages, including toddlers and babies. Toy schnauzers can live in a loud hectic active family with 8 kids or a calm quiet senior citizen home, out on a ranch or in a big city, living in an apartment or a chillin' at the mansion. Unlike teacup schnauzers, toy schnauzers are the perfect size if you work full time or come and go alot. They are very adaptable which makes them rewarding to live with. Toy schnauzers average around 7 – 10 pounds full grown.
Teacup schnauzer puppies on the other hand are more delicate than toy schnauzers so they do require more attention and care. Keep in mind that some teacup puppies will be more "frail" and "higher maintenance" then others so choose carefully because you can create health issues, cause hypoglycemia or even early death if you can't meet the teacup puppies needs. As an overall rule teacup schnauzers do well with other dogs and cats but tend to dislike kids or just ignore them. Older children, teenagers, adults and seniors all love this tiny size, but if you have toddlers or babies, then you really should think twice about getting a teacup and instead might consider a tiny toy schnauzer puppy instead. Depending on how tiny your teacup puppy is will determine how long it can be left alone during the day. Usually this size should NOT be left alone for more then 4-5 hours at a time. Teacup puppies are very light weight and easy to carry around. Some will travel better then others. Teacup schnauzer puppies are for families wanting a new best friend to follow them around and share their life with. Teacup schnauzers average around 4 – 6 pounds full grown. We encourage you to read our how to choose a teacup puppy page.
Micro teacup schnauzer puppies are not for everyone like toy schnauzers are. Micro puppies require a high end diet and specialized care. If you do not provide them with a certain type of daily lifestyle you can create serious health issues and even kill them. They also can be injured alot easier then a teacup schnauzer or a toy schnauzer. Micro teacup puppies are not a size for first time "teacup" owners. If you have never owned a micro teacup puppy before you might want to adopt just a teacup puppy first. I can not stress enough that you must know what you are doing with this size so educate yourself and do some research. Micro teacup schnauzer puppies are for families that want a "soul mate" or a "new baby" in the home that they can shower with a lot of time, love and attention. So if you work a lot, have a real busy life where your gone most of the day, etc.. then this is NOT the size for you. Micro teacup puppies do NOT do well being left alone very much. This size is very fragile and bred solely to be adult companion pets. Born to be held, carried, spoiled, and will want to follow you around everywhere.
Toy versus T-cup (Teacup) Schnauzer Puppies – a short history.
We Protect and Promote the "Lost Colors!"
Dedicated to protecting and promoting this amazing and sweet breed, it is our sincere hope to preserve the stunning 'lost schnauzer colors' in micro teacup, teacup, and toy schnauzer puppies that are becoming difficult to find anywhere else. Don't forget to check out our schnauzer colors pages to learn more about them!
Whichever size and color you choose just know that your puppy will come pre-spoiled. We feel a great deal of joy and pride in raising our adorable schnauzer babies until they are ready to be adopted by homes that will continue to provide them with a cherished life as a much-loved member of the family. We strongly support the US National Push for Breeders to sell their puppies to pet homes. So we do require that all of our puppies are spayed and neutered before they leave.. Yeah! Sorry, no breeding rights.

Why It's Not Good To Be A Procrastinator
The oven part of our stove quit working two weeks ago. Since I'm such a master chef, it didn't really bother me until a few days ago when I realized that Thanksgiving was just around the corner.
Yes, I can go two weeks without my oven working and barely give it a thought. That's what they make microwavable soup and Wendy's for.
So I called the stove repair guys and low and behold it's some circuit board doohickey that they have to order and it won't be in in time for Thanksgiving.
I think I'm fine with finding alternative ways to cook most of the stuff, but not sure how to cook Tom the turkey.
Has anyone used one of these roasters to cook a turkey before?
Or maybe I should just switch back to my original plan of going out to eat at a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. No, I won't be going to Wendy's or McDonald's (Hey, they aren't open are they?), but some of the ritzier hotels in town have nice buffets going on that we may take advantage of.
Procrastinating does have its downfalls. I'll be sure to work on that some day.

I use my moms old 50 year old roaster to cook our turkey every year, and it's wonderful! I wouldn't cook a turkey any other way!!ReplyDelete
I vote that you go out for dinner.ReplyDelete
Your Friend, m.
p.s. I "got" the last line and I laughed.
We use a roaster every year and it turns out fine. We put it in the oven first to get the skin crispy but it will cook just fine without the oven. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Good luck, but I also vote for the going-out part.ReplyDelete
I use one of these roasters every year, they come out juicy and tender! You won't get the great browncolor on top, but it is never dry......my roaster finally bit the dust and I have to go get a new one! Trust me, you will love it!
I use a roaster many years...depending on what's going on. I always put a bit of Kitchen Bouquet brushed on the top to give it that nice browned look. It is always extra juicy cooked in a roaster. or...Holiday Inn! xo DianaReplyDelete
I say give yourself an excuse to eat out and avoid the mess.ReplyDelete
I have the perfect solution: Order a turkey dinner from your local supermarket. ALL of them have that now-a-days. What does it feed? 6-8 people? It would probably even be cheaper than going out to dinner, PLUS you will have all of the leftovers for turkey sandwiches and a couple of full dinners for the weekend! (or you can freeze individual dinners!) This way you'll get the stuffing, sweet potato casserole, etc. that normally has to be baked. If you want to make your own potatoes, you could probably choose something as a substitute from their list. You could always ask. Well, whatever you decide, I hope you and your family has a lovely, happy and blessed Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
P.S. I like Wendy's too. :)
P.P.S. I think the fast food places ARE open on Thanksgiving!!!! LOL! (It's Christmas that I think they are closed...)
Oh, and you can always use your microwave AND that Nesco roaster to REHEAT the store-bought dinner!!! ;)ReplyDelete
I'm a procrastinator too. I have never used a roaster for a big bird. So if you try it, good luck. But I will tell you I was in the same boat a couple years ago. No working stove or oven. We went out to a local restauraunt for our Thanksgiving dinner. Hope that help with your decision. Take care.ReplyDelete
Order a dinner and bring it home or you could crash someone's dinner. You could come to our house and use my oven.ReplyDelete
I like that roaster idea.
Happy Thanksgiving whatever you decide.
I have an oven and will not be cooking a turkey ever, cooking them kind of annoys me. I usually do something smaller like just the breast or cornish hens. I think the roaster will do it justice though, no drying out. Our oven at the old house died and I recently baked cookies with the broiler and that was nuts.ReplyDelete
i have 1 for yrs before my mom bought mine i borrowed 1 from where i use to work, its worth every penny you can make in garage on porch basement (keep the heat out of kitchen) or if like i use to do make a ham and turkey i can do both at same time....i love mine i really do worse thing is size of it for storing.ReplyDelete
Those roasters make the moistest turkeys ever...lots of drippings for gravy, too!ReplyDelete
Alot of stores like Kroger has the whole dinner already made. All you have to do is warm it in microwave. I did that a couple of years ago and it was fine. Roasters work fine too for the turkey...even a large crockpot for a not so huge turkey, maybe a breast. Of course, letting someone else cook, serve and clean up sounds like a plan too! Happy Thanksgiving whatever you decide to do!~Hugs, PattiReplyDelete
Sounds like the roaster wins!ReplyDelete
Going out would be fun too but I would miss the leftovers!
Good Luck!
I'm a vegetarian so I have no idea about the roaster. As for your broken oven, I would use it as an excuse to get new appliances :)ReplyDelete
I've used the roaster to cook a turkey, and I didn't like it. Use this as an excuse to go out! :)ReplyDelete
My family has always used a Nesco to cook the turkey; my grandma had one that my mom inherited...I swear that thing was probably from the 1960s...but it still works like a dream. My sister has a newer one. It's really nice to be able to use the oven for all the other things, especially if you don't have a big fancy kitchen with a double oven (like me!)ReplyDelete
i think u need to find a relative to spend the holiday with!ReplyDelete
Pam, we only use the roasters for turkeys- and we do two roasters with two birds. They are fairly inexpensive and it will be your best bird ever. andrea@townandprairieReplyDelete
My Mother In Law has one :) Are you really considering cooking for Thanksgiving? Have Hubby take you out. Too bad you didn't live closer to me. Anyway, Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
xxoo Liz
I just got my over the stove microwave replaced...didn't realize how much we all use it...we really missed it! I have used a roaster before...worked great! Eating out works, too lol!ReplyDelete
I'd be hitting a buffet. Or do what my step mother does. Order all the food from a restaurant, transfer it into your own bowls and don't tell anybody. Act like you've been slaving away and even got the kitchen sparkling clean before lunch. Be sure to wear your pearls and heels, too.ReplyDelete
Pam I didn't realize you are a master chef as well! Try the roaster, you could even do a turkey breast with all the fixings.ReplyDelete
Thank you so very much for your get well wishes!! I am getting better every day. I love rehab (yes I keep telling myself that)
Love and Hugs,
Art by Karena
My friends use a Nesco and love it for turkey and, well, everything! And even though I am cooking (The kids idea of course!) I think eating out can be great! So many good restaurants to choose from and follow it with a great new movie or drive out into the country...ah. *grin* As a fellow procrastinator, I so understand! So no matter what you do food wise,wishing you a sweet Thanksgiving Day!ReplyDelete
I'm late to this post, but I see you got a roaster! Hope it does a fantastic job on your Thanksgiving turkey. Putting off having the oven fixed sounds like something I would do too, since I procrastinate with just about everything, lol!ReplyDelete
That's what those things are for? Cooking turkeys! I have one, but I use it to cook chili in...turkey chili:-)ReplyDelete
Hope your Thanksgiving is blessed! I vote for eating out!
Hi Pam!ReplyDelete
My mother-in-law got me one of these a few years ago and i must say, it is amazing! It cooked our turkey for the last two years and each time it was perfect and moist and juicy. Plus it frees up the oven for more important things like pies and cakes and stuffing and such!!!!
I highly recommend it and it comes with an instruction booklet so there is no guessing!
So.... did you go out for dinner or???
We must know!
