I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Thanksgiving is not the time to get creative.

And while we’re here, keep the grease out of the drain. 🫩

Fats, oils, and grease harden in pipes.

Pour turkey drippings down the drain, and your plumber is joining Thanksgiving too. 🦃

Turkey → oven.
Grease → trash.
Plumber → off the guest list
