FREEPER CANTEEN HOLIDAY SPECIAL

It's Thanksgiving. In honor of that, let's all share some of the things you are thankful for.

Are you thankful for family and friends?

It's Thanksgiving....do you know where your turkey is?

Let's try not to eat so much that we fall asleep and miss the football games.

Then there are those shoppers out there who brave the mad rush of Black Friday.
Are you one of them?

But, rest assured that when you've had enough and you just need to relax, the Canteen is here.

When your feet are dragging and you're ready to drop, you can drop into the Canteen, grab something to drink, and turn up the jukebox. If you don't see anything on the jukebox that soothes you, you can make a request to one of the DJs.

Come and let us give thanks for all that's good. And, don't forget to thank those to whom we owe so much!

BURP! I'm done.

Stay safe. Come back soon. Prayers for safekeeping of our military.

If we get Mitnwiit, Hucksterbee or Rudy, we are finished.

And, if we get the Hill-Billy, we are worse than finished. We are burnt-to-a-crisp-DONE!

Prayer is a MUST!

Now, I just bought a 20 pound bird tonight! How do I defrost this beast, and have it ready by 6 pm tomorroW????

[stephenjohnbanker]

GOD bLESS YOU TOO!

[Kathy in Alaska]

"Now, I just bought a 20 pound bird tonight! How do I defrost this beast, and have it ready by 6 pm tomorroW????

I hope you have a microwave with a defrost button!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah, but micros suck any ounce of flavor out of anything!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I think you are in serious trouble, but......partially fill the sink with warm water. Put said bird in the sink and it will thaw faster than just sitting out. Turning it every hour may speed up the thaw. Sleeping is out of the question. Caffeine is your friend......

Now...next year it might work better to get the bird a couple days earlier. As an alternate course of action, you could go to a store and get an already cooked bird! I haven't a clue how long it takes to cook a 20# bird. Call 1-800-butterball and ask. They are open 24 hours.....good luck. d:o)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, JJ...((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmm....sjb, if you stay up all night, changing your turkey's water, then getting it ready and cooking it for the requisite 4 1/2 hours, or so, you just might it by 6pm.

Good job, yorkie.....
