Thanksgiving starts with the proper attitude, and turkey cooking choices. We ended up with 3 types of turkey for 8 people that included roasted, smoked and fried. The Turk was trying the fry for the first time.

| All-important prep work |
 |
| Seasoning everywhere |
 |
| The DUNK and FRY technique |
|
|
|
There was much advice, much drinking, and much snacking required to get the turkey to the fry stage.

 |
| Dinner is served! This is not the meat table, nor the desert table! |
|

Then it was Christmas. Participates jumped to 18 with 5 dogs as most of the siblings made it (not the California family), Marco and Katrinka brought Marco's Ukranian cousin who was visiting the US for work, Tulin was in from Montana, Tim's kids were visiting.
