happy thanksgiving!
I just ate more than my fill of Thanksgiving turkey and the standard fixin’s including mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and cranberry sauce. I am pretty sure there was dynamite in the stuffing because my stomach feels like rubble.
My turkey was cooked the traditional way, in an oven, but as we all know, some people have a grand old time deep frying their turkeys. Sounds like an idea just shy of turducken as far as delicious goes as far as I’m concerned.
Well, for all you fryers out there, be careful, because nothing ruins a holiday more than the house burning down. Underwriters Laboratories did some tests, and they even had a firefighter, in fully gear, let it all go wrong, with fantastic results. There’s even a video. They offer some tips so you can avoid killing your whole family. Enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I will say this: deep fried turkey makes for a really delicious, juicy, suculent turkey. Possibly the best I’ve ever had…but the leftovers absolutely suck.
