And if you are going to fry your turkey indoors, please have a camera running while you do it.
An important reminder from our Fire Safety Division: Use EXTREME caution when deep-frying your turkey! Turkey fryers can tip over easily or leak oil into the burner if the unit is overfilled, causing a fire.
Never use one indoors, in a garage, or on a wooden deck. Keep it away from all structures.

A friend of mine used to bake a sweet potato pecan pie which, as you might expect from the fusion of the two best kinds of pie, was absolutely transcendent.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

The solution to pedestrian-hostile streets and suburban/exurban sprawl is to change the way we design and build our environment, not to continue making the exact same decisions but this time with batteries in the cars.
