Take care of the Christmas turkey The Christmas turkey should be a joy to eat, and not a possible source of discomfort discomfort say food and nutrition specialists with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Poultry of any kind is a perishable food and needs to be treated with care. Whether a frozen bird is thawed in the refrigerator, at room temperature, temperature, in cold water, or in a. microwave oven, the original vacuum-sealed bag should be left on so the meat is protected from any source of contamination. Refrigerate it as soon as it is defrosted and cook within 24 hours. A fresh turkey, on the other hand, should be removed from its original wrapper and covered with a loose tent of foil or waxed paper. Store the biglets separately from the bird and keep both in the coldest, part of the refrigerator refrigerator for no. more than three days. For safety, never stuff the poultry in advance. Don't even mix up the dressing until just before roastipg. Any equipment such as knife or cutting board used with the raw turkey needs to be thoroughly washed with hot, soapy water before it touches the cooked bird. After the turney has made its impressive appearance on the Christmas dinner table, remove the stuffing from both cavities and refrigeraté. It's wise to freeze any that can't be used within three days. At sub-zero temperatures, it will keep for two months. Chill the turkey as quickly as possible after the feast. Keep it snugly covered with foil in the refregerator for up to four days Freeze any remaining turkey. Remove the meat from the bones and wrap meal-size portions in foil or plastic, according to the size of the pieces: slices, chunks and tidbits. When the meat is frozen in this way, it should be used up by the end of January. If it is covered with gravy or broth, it will retain its quality for about 3 months. A big bird is often a better buy. The ratio of meat to bone is higher and the price is frequently lower, but it can mean that a considerable amount remains after the Christmas dinner. If the turkey is treated with care, before and after roasting, the leftovers Will be as safe and enjoyable as the feast.

Wood heat may be too costly With today's rising energy costs, many homeowners have been looking to alter- nâtiv eeriergy sources such as wood, solar and wind. The use of wood as both a primary or secondary heating fuel has become increasingly popular. An initial investment of $500-$1000 for a properly installed wood-heating system system can be recovered over the first year or two depending depending on the source and cost of wood. The key element is the cost of the wood. Many people who see a wood-burning appliance as a money-saving investment are disillusioned to find that the cost of, buying wood from a retailer exceeds their expectations. expectations. Purchasing wood at prices from $100 to $180 per bush cord in many instances will save nothing. People then have the aggravation of feeding the stove at regular intervals to maintain heat at a specific level. The aggravation aggravation isn't as great when you are saving money. In many cases, wood stoves are purchased with no thought given to an inexpensive inexpensive source of wood. Unless you own a woodlot, or have access to one, chances are your savings will amount to very little. Many woodlot. owners are reluctant to let people they don't know enter their woodlots to cut standing wood. Consequently very few wood sources are available for people who wish to cut their own wood. This has led to an increase in theft of both standing trees and from the backyard wood pile. Remember, when büying a .wood stove, wood is expensive and will only result in reduced heating costs if a "cheap" source of wood is available.
