Turkey or Pig?

Frances and Pascal wanted ham for Thanksgiving.  Athena wanted Turkey soup.  David, Carsten and I wanted traditional Thanksgiving.  With all the votes in,  we found this very nice free-range turkey.

But as Athena and I were about to put him in the oven, I looked at him.  Was he really a turkey?  Those two oldest children of ours are extremely resourceful and clever.  Did we somehow actually end up with a ham?  He really looks as though he's got the ears and snout of a pig.





By 3:00 he was all turkey.
