Turkey Fryin’ Day permalink

Since Saturday was promised to be sunny, it was designated as Turkey Fryin’ Day. After the illustrious Morrone Turkey Fryer was assembled, we set out and picked up a tank of propane, 4+ gallons of vegetable oil, and 1 unassuming fresh 17-lb. turkey from Whole Foods.

high & friedWe did the water test to figure out how much oil it would take. As it turned out, the turkey was a little too big, so we had to drain some of the boiling oil out once we got it lit. After carefully dunking as to avoid a Vesuvius-like tragedy, the bird rested in place. There was bubblin’ crude coming out the top of the pot and flames shooting out from underneath, but that didn’t stop us; we were on a mission.

It takes about 3 minutes/pound of turkey when the gas is turned up to “loud”, so after about an hour of frying the bird with 170,000 BTU of love @ 325°F, we popped that sucka out, dried off the oil and sat down to eat.

If you’ve never fried a turkey, let alone even tried it fried, you must do so ASAP. You’ll end up with a pile of delicious poultry in mere minutes. Well worth the danger.

Man, woman are fatally shot in Allston

walking to my carI took this pic (right) with my phone while walking to my car this morning, figuring that a bunch of newsvans are picture-worthy. The reason they were there is b/c a couple of people got shot for selling Barry Bonds fake steroids. Bonds reportedly ordered a hit on the two after a batch he was sold contained gravy instead of THG.

Attention, severely-crippled veterans: there are plenty of job opportunities at Fort Polk, Louisiana, working as actors playing semi-conscious, shell-shocked, blown-apart soldiers. If you have a history of traumatic flashbacks, please do not apply.
