Sentiments of a Redneck Thanksgiving...

I will be honest that I haven't exactly spent my entire life in VA.  In fact, my family only lived there for about 6 or so years before we moved.  I was there for less than that.  But in that relatively small time, we were sure good at picking up on a few "primola" redneck habits and/or pastimes.  This Thanksgiving was one good way of our proving to ourselves that we did indeed still have a little bit of VA in us.  Without further ado, here's a few pictures that help illustrate my point...

 

Yup... that's a picture of a big ole' turkey just cooking away in a big deep fryer.  Now, on one hand, you have the fact that this is indeed pretty "redneckesque."  But on the other hand, and this is something that must be stressed, it was absolutely ridiculously delicious.  In fact this isn't the first time we've prepared our turkey like this, and there is a reason for it, because it is just plain down home cookin' good.  Here's a picture of my Dad enjoying himself, perhaps a little too much: 

There's the setup!  If any of you have not tried frying your turkey, then next year by all means bring up the idea, you won't regret it.  You may feel a bit like a redneck-ish... but as long as you read up on it and make sure you don't burn your house down, you'll be in "delish" city.  That's a redneck promise from the Cavender household.

Hope you all enjoyed your turkey and fixins...
