		<description>I know! it's really confusing. We are constantly debating the pros and cons as well. Though, it looks more and more like we are going to get the shot - at least for the wee one.</description>

		<description>I love Deep-fried turkey! A friend of ours makes them all the time, the only downfall is that you don't get any dripping for homemade gravy and that's my favourite part.  Now I often freeze an icecream bucket of it so when we get invited I bring the gravy for everyone!  One thing our friend also does is inject the turkey with a marinade.  So yummy!

That dessert looks amazing, I think I have most of the ingredients I may try it this weekend too!</description>

		<description>Aww Kelly, that must be hard!  I don't know what I'd do if my dad ever sold.  Actually I do, I'd buy it!  I'd love for my kids to have the same amazing experiences we had growing up.

My inlaws are looking to downsize too, so I know it'll have it's advantages too.</description>
