6.28 Cooking - 23 Pounds

Bestest Friend and I are in the middle of a blog project. Each day of the month we will post a picture on a pre-determined theme and write a little something about it. The theme for the twenty-eighth day of each month is "Cooking."

Well, thank heavens that's over.

What you see here is my husband attempting to put a 23 pound turkey in the oven without spilling any of the drippings.  His mother is hovering behind him and I am hysterically attempting to take an in-focus picture of him using the cabinet to get some leverage. 

The annual screaming match of the "ivory tower intellectuals who have no sense of the real world" and the "racist assholes from Dubuque" ensued, turkey was consumed, tears were shed, and a flying Lego nearly took out my eye.  The car ride home was illuminating, when one member of our household admitted that they were scared it was the last holiday the family would spend together and the other member of the household admitted that they didn't give a flying fuck and all they wanted to do was stay at home for all the holidays.  I'll let you figure out how that was resolved on your own.

Let the holiday season rejoice.
