The (Tofu) Turkey/Tyranosaurus Rex Connection

We all know (unless you are a creationist, and my apologizes to you for letting the cat out of the bag) that modern birds are the descendants of the dinosaurs, but did you know that even T. Rex had a wishbone? Livescience.com has a post about it today. The wishbone, or furcula, is one of the strong evolutionary links that ties your turkey to the dinosaurs.

While we’re on the subject of turkey, have you thought about making a tofu turkey instead? Spare one of our feathered friends this Thanksgiving with this great recipe.

    I had Thanksgiving Day dinner at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Every ordered the Turkey, except for one guy who had fish. Maybe I’ll try your recipe next year.

    that’s awesome about t.rex having a wishbone. i’ve never heard that fact before.

    my father mailed me a frozen turkey dinner that you boil in a bag. it wasn’t very appetizing but it’s the thought that counts.
