We invited Brian, Corey, and Todd over to the house on Labor Day. Ann bought a turkey fryer and a bottle of marinade, and we thawed out the 12-pound bird that has been cooling its heels in the freezer for nearly a year. Corey and Ann assembled the fryer while Scott prepped the bird. No one present had ever deep-fried a turkey before, so everyone grabbed a cold beverage and sat back to watch whether or not Scott would fry himself along with the bird. Fortunately, nobody got burned, except for the bird, which everyone agreed was very tasty. However, Ann did not much care for the Tabasco-laden marinade (which she bought).
After dinner, someone thought that it would be a good idea to light the cannon... ...so our neighbor Terry was given the honor. Not a bad way to end the day -- with a bang!
