I got up at 4 and completely did the turkey....it is boned and put away, and I am so proud of myself! lol<br /><br />Ellie, thank you so much for the info! I will definitely be using it. What a shame about the lost trees! My uncle and aunt recently sold their farm, along with a whole forest of red pines he and his family planted when he was young. We were all sad to see it go, but it was time for them to stop working so very hard. All the best to you and your family, at what must be a very hard time for you.<br /><br />Linda, they sure have! A lot more!<br /><br />Lisa, good deal Ours is done now, and will be reheated tomorrow. I just can't do it all in one day unless I make the stuffing in the microwave..and I have killed more than one microwave in that manner. have a great day tomorrow. Hope you all feel better soon!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-31649449114404746032015-11-24T18:28:57.631-05:002015-11-24T18:28:57.631-05:00I still had one of our turkeys left.

UF Finds hope in battle against citrus greening. Lake Alfred--Researchers at the University of Florida say they have good news in the war against citrus greening: genetically modified citrus trees that show enhanced resistance to the disease. According to a news release sent Monday by the school, researachers at UF's Institute of Foos and Agricultural Sciences has used a gene isolated from a plant that's a member of the mustard family to creat the new trees. The experiment resulted in trees that exhibited enhanced resistance to greening, reduced the disease severite and even several trees that remained disease-free after 36 months in a field with deased trees. The journal PLOS ONE recently published a paper on the study. Greening is spread by the Asian citrus psyllid, it causes the fruit to drop early and eventually kills the tree.ellie khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729353476036309006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-77903360248959687772015-11-24T10:47:55.712-05:002015-11-24T10:47:55.712-05:00I took out a second mortgage and went with a spira...I took out a second mortgage and went with a spiral sliced ham this year.
