I'm-a go fry a turkey

When we got our crawfish cooker last year, we thought we'd eventually use it to fry up a turkey for Thanksgiving. Well, turns out our stock pot is a wee bit wide for turkey frying, but our appetite for deep frying a 20 pound bird remained undiminished. So in a very clever move on my part, I asked a friend if I could borrow his stock pot. Being more tall and thin instead of short and squat like ours, his would do nicely. My heart sank when he told me over the phone that he and his family had already left for Alabama for the week. When he asked me what it was that I wanted, I almost said that it was nothing and hung up the phone, but to humor him, I told him about our stock pot dilemma and how he alone in the whole world held the solution to our poultry problem. I was overjoyed when he gave me permission to pick it up at his house anyway.


All this is to say, we will be attempting the unthinkable on Thursday.
