In the 1950′s ovens were tiny. In order to prepare the Thanksgiving turkey most of our mothers and grandmothers used a turkey roaster. Since then ovens have gotten bigger, but sometimes it is still a task trying to get everything ready at the same time!
I found TWO turkey roasters recently. One at the newest Goodwill store on Hampden and Monaco, and one at the Belleview and Parker Road store. 
I want one just for the its nostalgic quality…but I have no where to put it. dang it.

I still have and use the one that belonged to my great-Grandmother who died in the early 1950s! I manage to ‘find’ the room to store it as it’s a touchstone to the past for me.
