Sigh.
5Nov2009 Filed under: Uncategorized Author: twobarefeetI’m pretty bummed. When we moved back in June, I didn’t pay TOO much attention (I was too distracted), but as Thanksgiving approaches, it’s hitting my that suitNtie broke my beautiful turkey platter last year. He didn’t listen to me and apparently ran it through the dishwasher.
Unfortunately, with all sorts of new expenses this year, I can’t afford to replace it and I’m starting to get nervous about what the heck I’m going to put my turkey on in a few weeks. Any ideas? The oval platters that come with my china set are too small to hold a significant amount of turkey.
Help!

About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

Pop into a TJ Maxx or Marshalls….I have one very close to your broken one that I picked up there. They had some ones with printed turkey’s that you might find fabulous too

Ditto what jess said – Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods or even Target or Wal Mart have very inexpensive turkey platters! Then go on potterybarn.com or Crateandbarrel.com after turkey day and order one on clearance for next year!

I’m going to have to. Thanks, ladies! I had forgotten about the housewares sections of those stores!
