I knew that Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t last more than 15-20 minutes, so I was loathe to put hours of work into a lovely gourmet Thanksgiving meal. When Ruth asked if she could fry a turkey for anyone, I jumped at the chance. I’ve always wanted to have a fried turkey but would never take the plunge. <\/p>\n

So, Thursday morning we dropped off our turkey and had a nice visit with Ruth<\/a>, Ruth’s Dad, Scott, Hannah and Ian. Not too long after we got home, we got the call to come pick up Tom Turkey in all his lovely, fried glory. <\/p>\n

My mom joined us for an early afternoon dinner and the menu was perfectly simple: <\/p>\n

\n
• Fried Turkey<\/a><\/li>\n
• Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/li>\n
• Pepperidge Farm Stuffing<\/a><\/li>\n
• Turkey Gravy<\/a><\/li>\n
• Sweet Potato and Apple Stuffing<\/a><\/li>\n
• Bread and butter<\/li>\n
• Hungarian Red Wine<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Dave made us a banana cream pie for dessert, which was luscious! <\/p>\n
