Almost time to fry a bird

More than gluttony to Thanksgiving.

Can't be very healthy.

Depends how much you eat.

A thirteen pound turkey is not meant for one,
  and more the reason to share.

Time of cooking brought down to an hour,
    allowing more time to visit,
       and isn't this the reason to gather?

So maybe more than one,
  if only to attract more of you,
     creating a larger gathering.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Like I said... You Americans are weird. What's next? Deep fried ice cream?
Wait a minute...

One day out of the year, you fry everything. Even fried beer.

a nice occasional poem, marking an occasion, today a woman in the market upon questioning advised making a Chicken Parmesan; I will buy a turkey after Thanksgiving if there are any left after the holiday because there will be no one here for it on that day and I don't know where I will be probably not here to find a relative to visit if I have one though I don't have many, some people go to see friends I know that too

If you want one, buy it now, and put it in the freezer. You never know. Went through a few lonely ones, and cooked the bird when the spring was warming! If by yourself, a simple dish with music playing.

1 1/2 lbs per person
20 mins per pound...

That's what my momma taught me. :)

Deep fried, 3 to 4 minutes per pound. Just have to try to not burn down the yard, or explode a propane tank!

[Matching Socks]

Whoa... Deep fried?
No way. You don't deep fry a turkey. You Americans are just so weird. :)

Trust me. It was the Cajun's who started it, and I think they are related to the Canucks.

[Matching Socks]

Wrong, Cajuns like everything blackened, not fried. C'mon, you should know...

[Jon Roggie]

Now this is the separation. Only takes a couple of decades.Couple of Cajusns started frying everything.

frying the bird, and black friday has meshed with that day...another kind of gluttony for the holidays.

[Jon Roggie]

More the reason to try, and take it back! Of course, if you take history into account....
