Turkey!

The pictures of the Hopf family Independence Day turkey-fry are now online. I’ve given them their own gallery in the photos section. Click here to have a look at the scariest method of cooking a large bird I’ve ever seen.

Before we cooked the bird I convinced Courtney’s sister Maggie that the turkey wasn’t fully defrosted and that because hot oil and water don’t mix there was a good chance the turkey fryer would launch it, like a ball of flame, at the house. I’m proud to report she was genuinely worried that her home was minutes away from burning down.

Of course, deep fried turkey wasn’t the only bizarre food consumed this July 4th. Kelvin had some kind of multicoloured bagel monstrosity – for breakfast, no less.
