      It is indeed THE best sound in the world. I remember that specifically about my boys. One instance in particular: the oldest (4yrs old at the time) was gently pushing the second (8 mos) on the swing set. Oldest was facing the second, and every time the second came forward towards him, the oldest would make a googly eyed face at the second. The second would have this full on belly laugh. This went on for at least 20 minutes. I will never forget that sight and sound. They are all grown up now. And still make me laugh till I pee...lol. 😊

    Once you've cut the bird in half, go ahead and halve it again separating the white from the dark meat. Then you can put each type of meat on its own tray cook each type of meat to its optimal temperature. I like white meat at 160°F and dark meat at 170F ( or higher). Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
