I figured I should go chronologically and post this Thanksgiving Turkey Picture before I get to the Christmas ones. Big Bro and I cooked a good turkey this year. Even without a proper roasting pan, or a rack to sit it on. (Note to self: Go to KMart and buy a pan now...instead of waiting for the day before Thanksgiving.) I could have bought an extremely fancy one from Bed Bath and Beyond, but all I really wanted was a good old Black With White Speckles Pan like my ma uses. Anyway. After putting one of the plastic turkey timers in, we decided it would be a good idea to put the other one in so the turkey had eyes. It looked like an alien. A sad alien.
We also decided to solve the mystery of the Turkey Timer. I hadn't ever thought about how one of those works since there isn't a thermometer attached to it. The obvious solution was to cut one of them open, and while he was finishing carving the turkey, Big Bro sliced one in half (perfectly by the way) to investigate the mystery. Turns out there must be a plastic piece inside that melts when the right temperature is reached, which released the tiny spring inside the timer and makes it pop up. I wonder who invented the pop up turkey timer. I bet whoever it was made millions.

You should have given this bird a tan, or maybe used some makeup, cause it sure is ugly, at least the color is ugly, in this image. But the eyes are great.
ornament pictures!
