Here is our attempt at pretzel and candy corn turkeys.
It does not look exactly like the one on Pinterest.
This is from Pretzel Turkeys on MyRecipeMagic.com
Here is the link to her sight: Pretzel Turkeys
Our turkeys did not look exactly like these, but we had fun
and they tasted great!
I think we should have used different pretzels and a different method of
attaching the candy corn turkey feathers!
We are assembled and ready to cook!
The first step is to
lay your pretzels with the salted side down
with the double rounded end pointed toward you.
Or, if you can't reach the pan, just eat your pretzels.
Right, Ceci?
The next step is a little more difficult.
(This step explains why our turkeys did not look exactly like
the ones in the photo of the recipe I used.)
The recipe says:
Place three candy corns on the single round end. I start with the middle one and just place the tip under the middle of pretzel and the top part resting on the top of the pretzel. Place the other two candy corns along the angled part of the pretzel so that they are touching the first candy corn.
This is harder to keep the candy corn on the pretzels than it sounds.
Doug thought next time we should use a little dab of frosting to "glue" them to the pretzels.
I love these boys!
Next,
Gently lay an unwrapped Rolo on top of the candy corns.
You can push the Rolos down with the back of a spoon and press them gently down
to make sure they contact the pretzels and the candy corns.
Then we added the eyes and beaks with m&m's for the beaks
and the white tips of the candy corn for the eyes.
The original recipe finishes the turkeys by
applying 2 pearls for the eyes and half of a Reese’s pieces for the beak.
Take a toothpick and dab it in the melted chocolate at the edge of the Rolo
and dab it in the center of the pearl to finish the eye.
Our finished product!
Enjoy!
We had a lot of fun with the boys.
I just started yoga this fall.
Graham's tree pose is great.
We had thanksgiving dinner at Kevin's grandparents home.
Kevin and Evie deep fried the turkey.
This is probably the best turkey I have ever eaten.

We have much to be thankful for.

A little history on
Indiana's Oldest Operating Historical Opera House
The first floor contained the general store, with a lady’s dry goods department, a men’s department, and a shoe department. Behind the building stood the Pulse Millinery Store and the Pulse Grocery Store.
The Pulse Opera House was located on the second floor. At the top of the wide stairway leading to the theatre stood the ticket window from which tickets could be purchased the night of the performance. The sale of tickets was usually handled through Hickerson’s Drug Store or Wuersten’s Jewelry Store. Beyond the ticket window and the large double doors (which served as the only entrance into the house) was a backstage door, over which actors, singers, dancers, and musicians left a lasting impression by carving their initials.
History
From 1970 until 1986 the opera house was used for storage.
In November of 1986, however, a group was formed to restore the structure and recapture some of the glory of its earlier days.
The stage was reconstructed, the ceiling ovals uncovered, and seating reinstalled.
Under the direction of Cynthia Smyth-Wartzok and Ron Wartzok, the opera house has operated as a not-for-profit summer theatre, specializing in melodramas, comedies, and musicals.
Combining the history of the theatre with local and area talent, the
Pulse Opera House
once again is playing to enthusiastic audiences.

Indiana's Oldest Operating Historical Opera House
Pulse Opera House
in Warren, Indiana was built in 1884 by Captain Silas Pulse, a Civil War veteran who was known as “Cap” to his friends. Captain Pulse was a wealthy merchant in Warren, being part owner in the mercantile firm of Pulse & Thrash. A 1902 history characterized him as a “broad-minded man of the world, alive to all that interests and benefits his fellows…a public spirited benefactor.” His concern for the public welfare was demonstrated when he replaced the Pulse & Thrash wooden structure with a brick building which housed his new store and a public hall.The first floor contained the general store, with a lady’s dry goods department, a men’s department, and a shoe department. Behind the building stood the Pulse Millinery Store and the Pulse Grocery Store.
The Pulse Opera House was located on the second floor. At the top of the wide stairway leading to the theatre stood the ticket window from which tickets could be purchased the night of the performance.
