How big of a fire could it be?

123

Well, that escalated quickly.

Maybe I should wear all of my protective gear. Check out this professional. Shorts? No gloves? No problem!

Winner winner 3rd degree burns!!!!

What do the pros have to say? Here’s the NFPA’s fact sheet that says don’t do it.

Grrrrrrrrrreat – I’m gonna die.

Soooooooooo, here’s tonight’s prevention steps:

  1. Thawing my frozen turkey tonight in my fridge.
  2. Checking my fire extinguishers (yes, that’s plural)
  3. Debate on using my talon hook or my halligan for rapid turkey extraction (I think I’m favoring the Talon hook bec it’s longer).

What’s the number for 9-1-1?

So if you wanted to know, I’m a bit nervous for this deep fried turkey on Thursday.

Me? Worry?
#nervous indeed!

What’s the worst that could happen?!?!?!

A. Burn the house down?

B. Burn the neighbor’s house down?

C. Burn the entire block down?

D. All of the above.

Those of you that know my luck, I am sure that I stand a good chance of creating a gigantic mess this Thursday.

As a planner, I like to think I have some backup plans drawn up.

Here’s option-A


And here’s option-B.


Any questions?

In 5 days, I just hope I don’t explode with this turkey.
