Downhill economics spark big deals in ski country

The economy may be sputtering, but there's a silver lining in mountain country: better bargains for skiers.

Why the bird is a good thing

I never used to think about turkey outside of the holiday season, but when I started my low/no carb diet, I began to live on it. I had several reasons for this. The first was obvious: turkey is the perfect low/no carb food. But then I tried some ground turkey and found it was not only less expensive than hamburger, it was also far less fatty. I had to add oil to the pan when cooking turkey burgers, but the same amount of hamburger left a thick layer of fat in the pan. Of course, I could buy no-fat ground beef, but it doesn't taste that good.
