Woodtick Count of the Day - 36

Sis and I smoked two turkeys today...OK...we only smoked one turkey. The other turkey we took over to my folks' place (up the hill a pace...a few paces) and roasted in their oven. We got a bit concerned about inviting Sam and Ella to our party because one of our turkeys weighed in at over 20 pounds.

We enjoyed part of the twenty pound turkey (roasted) tonight with supper. (Oh crap, I forgot to bring my camera again!) We'll be enjoying more turkey tomorrow when we celebrate Father's Day I tomorrow afternoon.

Old Grey Frog's Laws of Turkey Roasting

1. Your turkey is always bigger than the roasting pan you want to put it in.

2. If the turkey is supposed to be oooked in six hours...it will be done in four...and the cook hasn't even started thinking about getting the potatoes scrubbed and baked.

3. If the turkey is supposed to be cooked in four hours...your guests will be twiddling their thumbs while they're waiting another four hours for the turkey to arrive on their plates.

4. If you are roasting your turkey in someone else's oven, the drippings will spill over onto the bottom of the oven.



Corollary I

If you spill drippings onto the bottom of your hostess's oven, she will inform you that she doesn't own a self-cleaning oven.

Corollary II

You will only spill dripping in an oven that isn't self-cleaning.
