Aluminum Foil!

Ok, so I am a total slacker! But, I'm back and hopefully will be able to more consistently post to the blog! So without further ado, I give you...foil! Yes, aluminum foil. The thought for this post came during Thanksgiving last year. I was helping my dad in the kitchen get ready to pack everything up to take over to my Brothers where we were having the meal. There was a lot of plastic tupperware and such as well as seran wrap. But, the thing that really caught my attention was the foil. First, dad used the foil while cooking the turkey as a tent to stop the top from getting too done. He took the bird out the of oven (at 400 degress) and put it on the counter and I grabbed the foil off the top, was it hot? NO, how amazing is that? It had been in the oven over 3 hours at this point...but it was completely cool to the touch! It really made me Thankful for the different technologies that we have today and how they assist in our lives. So, after the dinner was ready to go we used that same foil to cover the top of the bird and wrapped it around the pan so that no juice would leak out. No catastrophies on the drive to my brothers...Ok, seriously I could go on and on but Aluminum foil is absolutely fantastic. Next time you fix dinner, just remember what a blessing it is to have such a useful tool! :~)
