This weekend, Michelle and I traveled down to Portland to spend American Thanksgiving with my sister Marisa and her family. We left Friday at noon and got there around 7pm and immediately got to work on the dinner. The best past of spending Thanksgiving with the American Thanksgiving is the DEEP FRIED TURKEY! That's right, a giant pot filled with bubbling peanut oil and a nice 16 lbs. Turkey sizzling in it for 30 minutes! This might sound slightly off-putting but trust me when I say, the final result is a crispy, tender, juicy and extremely flavourful Thanksgiving dinner. If you ever... ever get the chance to try a Deep Fried Turkey, do yourself a favor and get busy, try yourself a DFT!
The rest of the visit was equally as enjoyable, lots of family time, lots of laughs and lots of dogs! That's right, we brought Carmine & Laverne down with us to spend the weekend along with Stuart & Marisa's dogs Phish & Chippy, it was "dogtacular". We haven't been down to Portland since our weekend in 2006 with the Forbzez but this weekend reminded us how much fun it is to spend time with the family, we'll have to do it again soon!
