A week ago we looked at a pound of sliced turkey meat at $4.99 a lb. Then we went a little further and saw a whole turkey for $18.00 with a $10.00 discount. It was an 18 pound turkey for $8.00. Well, that is about $.45 a lb. As James would do we did the weighing in the air and got the whole turkey. Well, yesterday 9/5/08 Diane cooked the turkey and boned it. Then she said, "I need help to grind this turkey. I'm tired." Well, I was tired also, but always willing to please I set about dismantling the grinder. Yes, dismantling. Then I found a 2 1/2 in. carriage bolt and screwed it into the hole where the handle attached. I cut off the bolt top and wrapped a rubber glove around it for traction. After that I got the drill.The result is what you see here in ten minutes.
While I cleaned the grinder and washed the dishes, Diane made about 14 pounds of sandwich spread. We froze all but two pounds and we both sat down and laughed with the missionaries as they came in while we were still grinding. Diane was laughing like she was drinking more grape juice and we got the following pictures for your viewing pleasure.What you see is a left over chicken breast from dinner.
It was so tough that the drill began to smoke. It is a variable speed drill and it needed all the juice it could muster to grind the chicken breast. We had to cover the front of the grinder and the bowl with aluminum foil so the meat didn't fly all over the kitchen. 
Also, I got to pull the trigger which exercised my trigger finger to keep it in shape.
