Oxford Thanksgiving with Friends

Published by at 11:48 pm under Corrine,Don,Friends,House

Thanksgiving may not feel like its here yet, but it is. Well atleast for us.  Every year before the 4th Thursday of November (traditionally Thanksgiving day).  Our local group of friends usually gets together and celebrates thanksgiving.  We have pretty much what you would expect to have in a normal thanksgiving.  Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, etc, this year was no different.  Instead of doing our turkey this year in an oven, like we have for year, one of our friends mentioned that her dad had a deep fryer for turkeys if we wanted to try it.  So after very little persuading, we decided to give it a try.

Here are a few pictures of the setup.  Big fryer, propane tank, a place for Don to hide and stay in the sun but out of the wind.

After cooking a 20lb turkey for 60minutes we took it out of the fryer, and this was the result.

After everyone arrived ate a good meal we went down by the fire to play games, and just have a good time.  Here some pictures of 22 people in our basement around fireplace. IMGP0794.JPGIMGP0795.JPG
