nightshade1972 | Writer's Block: Is your goose (or tofu) cooked?

We're staying home this year. The Maternal Unit has finally managed to piss me off so badly that we've both washed our hands of her. We might go to my inlaws, but that would only be to visit, they're not doing a bird with all the trimmings. The Maternal Unit always does the turkey with all the trimmings. We live in TX, and it's pretty common to actually deep fry a turkey. They turn out lovely and moist that way, the big drawback is that you can't do stuffing inside the bird, so you lose some of the nice flavor. If we're still not on speaking terms with the Maternal Unit by xmas, I'm thinking we'll either just do a turkey breast here, or buy the supplies to deep fry a small bird for the two of us.
