Dublin Telephone 346-2250• G cioE F LER of F me iirmture Odds n' ends by Elaine Townshend Still not ready Last week I mentioned seeing jolly Scii- Nick in the televised Santa Claus para e from Toronto on November 1. I was startled because, until then, thoughts' of Christmas had not entered my mind. Seeing him reminded me of things to come -things I was not ready for. He reminded me of things I was not evenveady to think about. especially on an Indian Summer day at the beginning of November. For example. Santa leads to Christmas; Christmas comes in winter; and winter Melee snow, wind and cold. I did not want to think about wearing heavy coats and boots. Nor did I want to search for the shovel for the trunk of the car or the scraper for cleaning the -car windshield. (I know where the scraper is. It's behind the closet door which one opens at one's own risk. And I was not willing to take the risk.) I did not want to be told there were only 46 shopping days left until Christmas. Everyone knoien how quickly the countdown goes. I was not ready to prepare a shopping list. I ran out of ideas last year. People are not usually helpful when I ask what they want. They either want nothing or everything. My youngest nephew and I go through the same ritual every year. I ask him what he wants. He rattles off alist that would stagger even the most stable mind. Then I ask him for his list for his "poor relatives." That request is followed by complete silence. Intv.itably I take part in the annual last- ute rush with hundreds of other desper to shoppers. In November, 1 was not Ire to counternplate crowded stores and long line-ups, frazzled nerves and aching feet. Nor was I ready to think about signing Christmas cards, addressing and stuffing envelopes and licking stamps. Over the past few years, my letter writing has become less and less prompt. Many letters are now left until they are slipped inside a Christmas card. The letter-writing bug had not struck me in early November. I was not prepared for wrapping presents, either. Have you noticed how stubborn price tags are, when you try to remove them m a hurry? Wrapping paper is pretty, unless you measure too long making the parcel look bulky or you cut the sheet too short making the wrapping job look half finished. I did not want to think about the sweet treats of Christmas, tempting though it was. My winter clothes shrank just hanging in the closet this summer.Goodness knows what they'll be like after Christmas. Of course, the Christmas spirit will come to me sooner or later. I enjoy shopping for gifts and wrapping them, I look forward to sending and receiving cards. I was just not ready for those things the first time I saw Santa this season. But that was way back on November I. Now it's December 9. And I'm still not ready. ALL SIZES L LB. Fresh Atlantic COD FILLETS EVAPORATED CARNATION MILK"` /s laUDYATER FROZEN IINMOCK ihz.

Where should a frozen turkey be thawed? Can it be stuffed in advance? How long and at what temperature shoehl it be roasted? Food and nutrit- ion specialists with the Ont- ario Ministry of Agriculture and Food offer the answers. The whole turkey is usual- ly vacuum sealed in a heavy plastic bag. Leave this wrap- ping on while the bird thews, but if you defrost in the refrigerator or at room temp- erature, cut a long slit in the underside of the bag and set the turkey on a rack over a drip pan or tray. This allows melting juices to drain from the ;meat. The refrigerator is the ideal place to thaw turkey. Chilly temperatures help keep the surface cold as the interior continues to thaw. The only problem is time. It takes about 10 hours per kilogram (5 hours per pound) to defrost in the fridge. A large bird would need almost 5 days. At room temperature. tur- key takes around 3 hours per kilogram (1'V: hours per pound) to thaw -- but there's a greater chance of the surface getting warm, allow- ing bacteria to grow. It helps the surface stay cool if the turkey. rack, and tray are put into a large, clean, paper bag while it defrosts on the counter. it's safer and faster to thaw the bird in cold water. Allow, 2 hours per kilogram (1 hour per pound). Often the original wrapper is torn before you get it. To prevent the water touching the meat. put the turkey in another clean, holefree plastic bag and immerse it in a sink or deep pan of cold water. Change the water and turn the bird over several times during the defrosting period. While a microwave oven can be used to defrost a small to medium size turkey, it uses energy and there's a chance that thinner parts. like drumstick ends. may start -to cook even if they're shielded with foil. Check your microwave manual for in- structions. No matter which defrost- ing method you choose. once the bird is thawed, it should be loosely wrapped in wax paper, refrigerated, and roasted 'within 24 hours. According tn the Ontario Turkey Producer's Market- ing Board, frozen commerc- ially stuffed turkey should not be thawed before cook- ing. Follow the directions on the. label. Never stuff a turkey at home until it's ready for the oven. Even if the dressing is made very carefully and the bird is kept cold, bacteria could grow to a dangerous level. As soon as the meal is Time (Hours) 3 34 to 4 43/4 to 5'/i 5% tO 6 53/4 to 6% O1/4 to 7 A meat thermaineter is the best way to check for done- ness. In a stuffed turkey. the temperature in the centre of the dressing should be 70°C (165°F). An unstuffed bird is • ready when the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 85°C-(185°F). For safety's sake, don't leave the cooked turkey sitting on the kitchen count- er. Refrigerate it as soon as dinner is over. finished, remove the dress- iog from both cavities, refri- gerate it in a separate container and use it within a few days. Fresh or thawed turkey should be roasted at 160°C (325°F). It's not safe to cook poultry at lower tempera- tures.
