Thanksgiving gossip around the cooked turkey.

Frozen turkey drops. Fiery explosion ensues.

Frozen turkey drops. Fiery explosion ensues.

Never, EVER deep-fry a frozen turkey.

(I know that should go without saying, but there are some people out there who don't know... yikes!)

 

[Selluwud]

After completely thawing, you may proceed.

 

[CatrionaGrace]

My son is a fire fighter. His tales of responding to calls involving deep frying turkeys, frozen and thawed, are epic.

 

[Rath Darkblade]

Deep-fried frozen turkey = hot oil explosion.

Sure it wasn't your greengrocer's window?

(In one of her books (I forget which one), Lynne Truss mentions seeing a sign at a greengrocer's that said "CARROTT'S". She was naturally downcast about this until she learned that the owner was named Mr. Carrott.

It doesn't make any sense to me, either).

I heard about a farmer selling stuff like "potatoe's" or "apple's" at his stall at a farmers market. He said that it was so that people would come up to him to correct him, and he'd eventually strike up a conversation and end up selling produce to them.
