How Big Is Your Turkey?

[toosmallshoes]

I'm not sure how big the Turkey at my house will be, but i have a fun story to share.
My Mother used to teach a Weight Watchers class and she told her class to eat slowley during the first 20 minutes of their meal, because after 20 minutes you start to feel full. So as a result of that my brother and I came up with a mantra that we repeat before every Thanksgiving meal. That mantra: "The first 20 minutes are crucial". We set a timer and eat as much as we can in the first 20 minutes of the meal. Knowledge is power... and can cause severe heartburn.

I can attest to this. My drinks kept getting shaken from a beating under the table at the GTG.

Even when SW was in the bathroom, too.

I quit frying turkeys about five years ago when it got the be the "cool" thing to do hehehe...it is a royal pain in the ass for just one bird coonsidering you have to buy 4 or 5 gallons of oil for a medium size bird...I would do several at a time for us and friends...
