Sharp Creek first-graders share turkey recipes Students in Mrs. Va n l a n d i n g h a m ’ s first grade class at Sharp Creek Elementary School would like to share their recipes for Thanksgiving turkey: Addy Rosen: Buy a turkey at Krogers. They are in the freezer section of the store. Get one without any pink on it. Walk to the cash register and put it on the thing that takes it to the person. Pay $50 for the turkey. When you get home put the turkey in a bucket and sprinkle seasoning salt on it. Put the bucket in the garage because it leaks. Put the top on the bucket and check it every 16 minutes. Make sure the bucket is plugged in or the turkey won’t cook! Leave it in the bucket for an hour and a half...it takes forever! The turkey is done when it is kind of b row n i s h - p i n k i s h . Pull the knob that goes through the turkey and carry the turkey into the kitchen. Put it on a plate and cut it up. Let daddy cut the turkey because he’s good at it. Serve the turkey with chips, green beans and mashed potatoes. Make sure you put salt and pepper on the potatoes. Put it on the table and eat it. Well, pray first...and then eat it! Morgan Bever: Go to Wal-Mart to buy a turkey. I think the turkeys are outside. They are wrapped up in a black thing with stuff on the top and they are not alive. Get a big turkey because you will have a lot of people to eat with. Take the turkey home. Get the turkey out of the package and take the fat out of the turkey. You put your hand in the turkey and grab the fat. Then throw it in the trash. Not the

turkey, just the fat! Get the fat off the top of the turkey, too. Just swipe it off the top. Put some salt on the turkey and it’s ready to cook. Put the turkey on a pan and put it in the oven. Make the oven really hot, like 24 degrees. Cook the turkey until the timer gets down to one. Everybody will be there to eat with you. Make sure you have mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad and apple dumplings. Put turkey decorations and stickers on the table. You will need two tables because there will be 69 people at your house. After dinner you can play outside. If it snows, put your snow clothes on. When you’re done playing, everybody leaves. Mom will clean up the mess and I will help her.
Nick Bollan: Go to Wal-Mart to get a turkey. Go to the number six aisle, and the turkey is on the right. The turkeys are fake, not real. Get a big one that’s three inches long. Bring it home. Put the turkey in the washer (the place where you put your clothes) and put two cups of soap in the washer. Now it’s clean enough to cook. Take the turkey to the kitchen. Put salt on the turkey so it doesn’t get too hot. Get a “cook pan” for the turkey. It doesn’t have a lid. Put the turkey on the pan and put it on the grease. Cook it for 10 minutes. Watch it so it doesn’t get hot! When the turkey is done, it will be brownish-dark. Use gloves and put the turkey on a plate. Put some grapes, peaches, apples, carrots and
potatoes around the turkey. Now it’s time to eat the turkey! It will taste like chicken. Patrick Devall: Trap a turkey in a net in the woods. Have your dad help you set up the trap. Put sticks in the ground to hold the net. When a turkey comes, pull a string
and the net will come up around the turkey. Put the turkey in your truck. Take it home. Tie the net to a tree so he can’t get away and shoot the turkey. Take it to the barn and scrape the feathers and skin off of the turkey. Make an Indian hat out of the feathers. Chop the
head off. Cook the turkey in the oven at 10 degrees for six minutes. Put one of those meat thermometers in the turkey so you can see how hot the inside is getting. You don’t want the bones to get too hot because it would burn your (continued on page 5)
Sheriff’s Department to purchase two new vehicles
Wabash County Commissioners approved the purchase of two new vehicles for the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department at their Nov. 22 meeting. Steve Hicks requested $21,873 for each of the Dodge Chargers, which will be purchased from Wabash Valley Chrysler. These funds will be taken from the Department’s 2011 budget. Concerns were expressed that the budget has not been certified by the State as of yet. “If we order them now we get them in February,” Hicks explained. “If we wait until January it will be March. Some of our vehicles are getting up there and need replaced.” The motion to purchase the cars was made, seconded and carried. Hicks requested permission to hire Sheriff-Elect Bob Land on Dec. 1 as a sheriff ’s deputy in order to make a more smooth transition. He also requested to hire Dan Johnson on Jan. 1, 2011, to fill Land’s place. Both requests were granted.
