January 12, 2009: Crews are out removing recent snowfall in
Brainerd, Minnesota. Snow is usually followed by cold temperatures.
This is "hunker-down" weather. How Cold is it in Minnesota in January? Well, the birds are coming to the feeder only in the warmest part of the day. |

Chef Paula put her skills to work on those cold days. |
 |
She cooked turkey. Using a thermometer, she determined that it was not quite done. So, back into the oven it went. |
 |
Fresh
out of the oven, the turkey is being carved.

 |
It sure looked good on the plate and tasted even better. The fare included a salad, Minnesota turkey, turkey dressing, turkey gravy, green beans, and Wisconsin cranberries. |
