Canadians forbidden to enter this post

I guarantee you this...you ever eat a deep fried turkey, you will never bake another one. Promise.
last 6 or so years its been nothing but deep fried turkeys...
last couple of years we also went to deep frying the ham to.. THAT is really good! outer edges get crispy like bacon and the inside is moist and juicy.:beardbng:
 
My aunt, up on the hill, is having all of us up there for dinner.
She bought a huge deep fryer several years ago, and has fried several
good size turkeys.
She uses peanut oil, and I don't think she uses the same oil more
than twice. (sometimes just once that I know of)
I saw the oil she uses, when I was grocery shopping the other day,
and it was like $35 for the big container that she uses.:eek:
 
Well I'm not going anywhere. But the kids have thursday and friday off.

No school on Thursday and Friday? Pourquoi?

Oh and for the record I am a Canadian who knew what a deep fried turkey was (and how it was done) well before this thread.
 
It hasn't exactly stopped the other Canadians anyway. I was just looking to avoid the whole 'Thanksgiving was ages ago', BS. You'd think they invented the holiday or something. I mean... geez... the way they talk about it, you'd think they had invented the:

I didnt care much for it!
 
I'm gonna bust my balls at work and hit some OT for the second week in a row this weekend.

The lady and I are workin' the classic 4 AM - midnight shift Friday.

On Thursday, we're headin' over to my mom's parents' house. My Irish aunt is coming down from NY with her three girls, and they're staying at our place. Probably have about 25 people all told at the grandparents' house. My grandmother, the amazing woman that she is, is going to make a turkey and a ham. My mom's doing the pecan pie, I'm doing the cranberry sauce (I mean real cranberry sauce made from real cranberries, none of that jello-in-a-can shit) and the whipped cream (again, I mean I'm getting cream and whipping it, none of that canned shit). My aunt is probably going to throw together something good, she's an amazing cook. My other aunt is probably going to bring a bunch of cookies, and she makes amazing cookies (so good that she spends like all of November and December cooking, and sells them to people)
 
Me and the two younger skittles are heading out to Waimea bright and early in the morning for the Garmon Thanksgiving Celebration ... the eldest skittle just came back from Colorado so he?ll be working ...

Hey Kelly ... send my love out to the family .. miss y?all ...
 
Betcha wish it was the Uzbekistani aunt or the Nigerian uncle, huh?

Erm, what?

I have five aunts and nine uncles. I'm in the habit of identifying people and relatives by a specific characteristic, so that I'm not really posting any specific information, and the aunt that's here is the only one of the bunch that was born and raised in Ireland, so that's become her OTC designation.
 
Here's a question for ya. If a witch turned your worst enemy into a turkey ... would you kill and eat it?
