Happy Thanksgiving!

Normally on Thanksgiving, I try and make a list of things that I’m thankful for, but this year, I’m just going to link to a safety news report on YouTube that talks about the dangers of turkey deep-fryers.

If you’re cooking your Thanksgiving turkey this year in a deep-fryer, please make sure you are doing it with all of the necessary precautions (fire extinguisher, properly thawed turkey, outdoors and well-ventilated, etc.).

Ok, eat up and enjoy the long weekend!
