Excuse me chef but I now have a severe case of food poisoning and demand compensation
Happy American Thanksgiving Day everyone. That special day where we all give thanks that, as Australians, we do not have two major celebrations in close proximity to each other, in the middle of winter, in a country with minimal annual leave provisions. As someone who works with the Fire Brigade I also like to give special thanks that we do not have any traditions that involve deep frying a whole turkey over an open flame.
Still, without Turkey Day, there would be no Black Friday sales. That has to be factored into the equation. Also, if you include Halloween, that’s 3 celebrations in close proximity. Nearly as much fun as the Easter/Anzac/Labour Day constellation of holidays right here in Oz.
That right - three celebrations. No wonder they call it the festive season!
Once upon a time the best sales were stocktake sales, and there were smaller mid-year sales as well. Stocktake as a close-the-store and physically count every thing system has been replaced by ongoing inventory management, but the sales remain. I’m not sure when we stopped calling them stocktake sales though. The importation of Black Friday sales is quite recent, and with no stocktake involved the sales have really just spread out and become almost business as usual.
I have deep fried turkey a few times. The difference is remarkable. Just ensure you have a fire plan lol.
fully defrost the turkey and turn the flame off when adding/removing the turkey seem to be the basic OHnS of frying a turkey.
Making sure you don’t overfill the pot so there is enough room for the turkey is also aparently an overlooked part of the process, as is making sure that flammable objects are kept a safe distance away.
I love thanks givin’. The littl’uns all running around the big ol’ pot cookin’ Mama’s secret recipe turkey shootin’ their bb guns and eatin pumpkin pie. Can’t get no better than that y’all. Yee haw.
I was listening to a podcast the other week about how apparently Troye Sivan brought his dad to the arias where he cleaned up for his song Rush. And on face level that’s a feel good story, right? Till you listen to the lyrics. His poor dad having to sit there whilst his son wins all these awards for a song about absolutely fucking railing someone. I mean nothing wrong with the song it’s great and, but I cant imagine you want to even think about your adult kids bedroom activities.
I thought he was literally cleaning up some areas for a music video or something loll
Sitting at breakfast overlooking the golf course just enjoying watching the old blokes walking around and their golf buggies following them by themselves like golf themed droids from Star Wars. The future is hilarious.
