Wait, they don’t need the Jacuzzi bubbles?

I better take them out of the wrapper and move them inside in the tub.

By removing the shrink wrap, they should thaw faster right?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Who’s ready for Thanksgiving with @rusnivek?!?!?

Important tips:

  • If you drop a frozen solid turkey into the deep fryer, the water frozen in the turkey will react with the oil and cause a rapid reaction that will likely cause explosion.
  • The overflow and reaction will likely cause peanut oil overflow which can lead to a gigantic fireball when ignited by the open flame.
  • Peanut oil on your concrete is hard to clean. It will leave a massive smelly stain on your driveway.
  • Even a partially frozen turkey will retain the water/moisture and initiate the oil + water reaction with possible explosion and fire.

And here I am just thawing my turkey. Maybe I should call my insurance agent.

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.
