I always worry when he gets out the goggles.
You know, as delightful as that Buzzfeed list of Thanksgivvukah foods is, and as much as I enjoy the existence of the recipe for Manischewitz-brined turkey, y’all are overthinking. The basic essential food of Thanksgiving seems to be turkey; the basic essential food preparation of Hannukah is frying. Fill in the blank, please.
Anyway, since it is Thanksgiving, I’ll be watching this WKRP in Cincinatti classic episode, ‘Turkeys Away’. You could do worse for a yearly tradition.
And, except for using a wood fire as opposed to a propane burner, that is very close to what I look like when I deep-fry a turkey. Except I also have a fire extinguisher next to me, and heavy rain gear. I never had to find out if fryer oil would burn through a rain slicker; but obviously I thought it would protect me. I think lots of foolish things.
