Martha Stewart will not be here.

Martha Will Not Be Joining Us This Year!
To my Thanksgiving Guests,
Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes:
Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect.
The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy china or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas.
Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey.
We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying.
We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door.
Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat.
Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it.
Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Year.
She probably won't come next year either.
I Am Thankful!!!

We used the dryer one time. Put the bird on the rack used for shoes, turned the sucker on, set the timer for 30 minutes............worked like a charm. Mission accomplished.

Shari, Yep, really did. The wife had taken the bird from the freezer and put it in the fridge before going to bed. Dinner wasn't until late the next day but the turkey wasn't thawed.
Wanna know what I used to use the dishwasher for?
I had a car with the "wire-wheel" looking hubcaps. They're a big pain to clean by hand. Take them off the car and pop 'em in the dishwasher....problem solved.
P.S. Men, don't do this while the wife is home. You could become the next turkey-in-the-dryer.

I've used a dishwasher to poach salmon. A little tin-foil, herbs & spices, and "Power-scrub" cycle.

ROTFLMAO funny thing is that is about the way it will be here tomorrow. I think I will put this on the door!
Already today I have had a bad morning. I was fixing lemon pie. I had all the stuff to make it on the center bar. I turned my back and was cooking. I turned around in time to see that JD had climbed up on the bar stool
the egg white being dumped out on the bar along with the sugar and lemon juice.
JD is now banded from the kitchen! The lemon pie is beautiful and JD is in his room now playing with a early Christmas toy!
The rest I will do tonight when everyone is asleep !

A 7 lb bag of ice will chill six 12-oz Budweiser's to a drinkable temperature in 11 minutes, and still keep a 14 pound turkey frozen for 8 more hours.

Hilarious kids 
Wish I had some good stories. Pretty boring here. It wasn't Norman Rockwell but it wasn't Salvador Dali either. I guess I shouldn't complain but you had more fun.
Have a great one folks.

From what I've read (Hee he) , you use whipped cream with Hunks, and lotion ( or K-Y) with hardbutts. Polishing cloths work well with apples (apple polishers). And kisses with asses .
Try bleach with brown noses, and lemon with yellow bellies.
As Martha would say, colors are abundant. And live textures to their fullest extent.
