Have you ever found yourself wondering just how safe your city would be during a zombie apocalypse? Believe it or not, I actually have. I rarely ever binge-watch anything. The Walking Dead was an exception during its first few seasons. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

Cars lined up for eleven blocks in Amarillo as a brand-new Long John Silver’s opened its doors. The sheer excitement was undeniable.

Well wow! Leave it to the turkey aficionados, those gurus at Butterball, to tackle the impossible and make it a reality. Thawing a frozen turkey for an average of three days is standard. The length of thawing depends on the turkey's weight, which is generally 24 hours for every four pounds of turkey meat.
