Ever wondered…   WHY? 😲

               People get tattoos for many reasons:

          attention, self-expression, artistic freedom,

       rebellion, visual display of personal narrative,

            reminders of spiritual/cultural traditions,

          sexual motivation, addiction, identification

         with a group or even drunken impulsiveness.

                Ugh!   No tattoo for Indian, just face paint.

Hot dogs  –   It’s a common misconception that
   they are pre-cooked and they can be eaten raw.
       NO according to FDA,  packaged hot dogs can

    which can only be killed by reheating the dogs.
Ugh!  Ole Indian Lucky?   Am still alive.

What?   😲   Don’t STUFF the Turkey. 

Stuffing cooked inside a turkey can make you sick.
All the juices drip into and are absorbed by bread.
                        That’s why It tastes sooooo Good! 
Unless stuffing is cooked to internal temp of
165 degrees Fahrenheit (not just the turkey meat)
  eating it can land you in the emergency room. 
      You can cook them separately and then stuff
    the turkey just before presenting it to the table.
 
AMAZING!   My mom STUFFED the turkey for 
      ALL our family dinners and WE SURVIVED!
 
The KEY  is cooking turkey and DRESSING to a
temp of 154 deg F. Mom knew how to cook. 😋
                                      
 
P.S.     She always removed  ALL of the STUFFING  from
   the Turkey and placed it in a separate dish for serving,
                               What did your Mom do?
