Thanksgiving is, probably, the best day of the year. It requires no gifts, no worry of disrespecting the PC crowd with an innocent remark of, "Merry Christmas!" No, it just involves food (lots of it), football and a multi-day break from work. (When the day is done, you still have three more days off to enjoy.) Oh, yeah. And it leads into the Christmas season.
How great is that?!? Seriously, how great is that?!?
So tomorrow we will do our annual Turkey Day Stuff. Get up early and hump the elliptical a few minutes longer than normal. Shower and then take the family out to breakfast. Once home, The Kids and The Mrs. will make and bake chocolate chip bars, while we prep the turkey.
Actually, it will be two turkeys this year. We went out last week and scored a great deal on a turkey fryer. So we will be frying a 14 pound bird (in less than an hour, as it takes just 3 minutes per pound). In the oven, we will be roasting a 22 pound monster.
Football will be watched. Beverages will be consumed. Snacks will be had. More football will be watched. And, finally, turkey will be ingested.
And it will be good.
Stay safe tonight and come back tomorrow for real time turkey updates, including (maybe) a video of the turkey frying.
