Sometimes we do the Louisiana thing and deep fry a turkey. Two points, do it outside. People who try to do it in the garage usually burn it down. Point 2. Keep your cardiologist on speed dial.

Yes, and I’m sure both the docs and the fire departments would agree

I was already hungry when I clicked on this post. Now I’m starving for some of the food in the photos, but knowing my lot will be the usual cold scrambled eggs, colder sausage patties, and warm orange juice that is served every morning in this place. What I wouldn’t give for something hot to eat again!

Douse the fire and eat pizza – from a pizzeria. Ha. We haven’t even grilled this summer, not sure why. I don’t ever see flames when I cook, which is a good thing. And we go to a pizzeria once a week. Maybe that’s a bad thing, but hey, I let them have the fires in their brick oven!
