Tomorrow’s the Big Day! Thanksgiving!

FYI… I’m going to keep today’s blog short because I’ve got a lot of peeling, chopping, dicing, stuffing, spooning, leveling, whisking, baking, frosting, basting, simmering, & roasting to do to get ready!

Well… To be honest… I don’t do any of those things. It’s just a regular day for me.

But I do have one very important job tomorrow: PRE-HEATING. That’s right… I’m in charge of Preheating the Oven.

It may not seem like much… but technically it’s the key to the WHOLE OPERATION! Without my part… there would be no Thanksgiving Dinner! You’re welcome!

Speaking of that… Just a reminder… If you have any questions about your Bird… the Butterball Turkey Talk Line is up and running! Just call 1-800-BUTTERBALL! You can also go to Butterball.com where they have experts on hand to offer advice and provide cooks with “Emotional Support”.

- Call me crazy… but I’m thinking the TURKEY’s need the “Emotional Support” more than the COOKS do…

A Hawaiian woman has been ordered to pay nearly $39,000 in restitution to American Airlines for swearing at a flight crew and will be prohibited from flying for the next three years.

- The fine seems excessive… but the way air travel is these days, the “No flying for 3 years” thing almost seems like a GIFT!

A British tourist was knocked unconscious after a group of 20 Thai lapdancers began fighting over him at a Strip Club.

- This gives a whole new meaning to “Thai-ing one on”.

Some Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce and a Turkey walk into a bar and order drinks.

The bartender says to the Mashed Potatoes… “I’m giving you this beer because I can see you’ve taken your lumps and I think you deserve it”.

“And for you, Mr. Cranberry… a Shot… because I can see you enjoy getting “Sauced”.

Finally, the Bartender looks at the Turkey, pushes a bottle of Vodka in front of him and says, “This is for you. It’s a reward for always sticking your neck out”.

And the Turkey says “Bada Boom!”.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here tomorrow… Thanksgiving!

NOTE: Seems hard to believe… but today is the 60th Anniversary of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
