As you may recall, Aunt Patty is married to Uncle Ted… and the Wild Turkey will be aplenty. Classic family holiday Horror at its best.

All those sleepless nights for nothing. Coulda’ been working on your artwork, Randie.
Heh, doing Thanksgiving with my girlfriend’s mum.
She is deep frying the turkey – for the first time. And we are cooking it outside. (You do not want three to five gallons of boiling oil on your stove top, so she has rented this propane fueled gas ring.)
Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Joe… Yah, Randie has a wicked imagination, don’t she?
Grump… Ahhh… my bro-in-law is planning the same… except we are expecting rain on T-Day. So…. we have Traditional Turkey in the wings… ha ha… turkey holiday pun. (for the record… I was more curious than planning to eat DFT)…
I do hope you get YOUR DFT (deep-fried turkey).
*hehe* Nice change of subject there.
To Auld and brig: We’ve deep fried a turkeys a couple times. It’s amazing how wonderful they taste, with no oily taste at all.
One thing… be CERTAIN it is completely defrosted before putting it into the oil. Putting a frozen turkey into boiling oil creates a massive fireball as well as funny and/or tragic youtube videos.
We are going out to eat. First time in years I have not cooked the feast. Hahahahaha!^_^
Pete… The risk hazard is kind of scary. The thought of a fireball at Thanksgiving is rather scary. Bad holiday times.
Lee… I imagine that the non-cleaning up after feasting is nice, as well.
I spent one Thanksgiving at Disneyland with friends (this was after I had worked there) … no turkey, which was a bit disappointing, but fun none-the-less. I also spent a T-day at Zelda’s on the beach in Capitola … there was turkey, and a lovely sunset… and no dishes… but a noticeable lack of friends and family.
Nar Brig – da traditional wings is on da toikey….
I am checking over her propane rig tonight, she looked at the instructions and called for help. (It is much better to call for help than to not call for help, then end up having to call for help from the fire department…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QMuLU7oi14 )
An outdoors turkey… to be eaten indoors….
We are using the Archimidian method to measure how much oil we will need. (Ie – put the turkey in the pot, pour in water to cover, remove turkey, measure the amount of water in the pot. Use that amount of oil.)

So, no deep-fried gnome? Disappointing, but probably for the best.
You could have had this happen:
Grump… oh! Well, no fireballs will occur at our deep frying situation! No sir!
A. Rat… ha ha! that’s pretty funny. Would you say that this was a Kentucky Thanksgiving? or Arkansas? and for the record…. Hill folk beards scare me.
Heh – that video reminded me of The Red Green Show, only… not in Vermont….
