There are entire chicken farms in the US and around the world dedicated to producing eggs for the purpose of incubating influenza viruses for use in vaccines. No wonder it takes six months from start to finish.”

Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. readers! I am off to spend the day at my grandpa and grandma’s house. We are having our mini feast in their cabin this year, but since I don’t eat meat, I’ll probably gorge on fresh baked rolls and pumpkin pie instead. Enjoy your day off!

Hi Nubby … I LOVE that black frame that you use. Just wondered where you got it from … I would love to use it in my Shutterfly book that I do for my daughter each year. Don’t want to tread on anyone’s toes though so if its not available, no worries. Thanks!

Why no Tofurkey?
I’m in a food coma right now.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Nubby!
I’m Canadian, so I’ve had my Thanksgiving a wee bit earlier, but I just wanted to offer you major kudos for posting even on Thanksgiving Day. Your work ethic, dedication and professionalism is out of this world!

Karen: I purchased my black frame from a stock image site.
Pam: My grandma and grandpa are 80; they have no idea what a Tofurkey is! And I’m the only vegetarian so I don’t like people making a big fuss over just me.
Kylie Jean: How sweet of you, thanks for the kind words!

Hi Nubby,
Last night I dreamt that I stayed in your summer house (I don’t know if you actually have a summer house) while you were away.
I wore you shoes and left empty pizza boxes everywhere, and when you came back you weren’t very impressed. I felt really bad.
So, sorry for messing up your house in my dream O.O
