Just when my poooor wife thought I couldn't get any cheaperRaccoon instead of turkey this Thanksgiving?
A word of warning to those who like to deep fry their turkeys in one of those outdoor propane cookers. Last Thanksgiving I invested in one of those cookers, PLUS nearly $50 for two large plastic containers of cooking oil to fill the frier. The turkey turned out pretty good ... and I didn't even burn the house down, as some folks do.
After the oil cooled, I strained it back into the plastic containers per the instructions so that I could use it again in the future. Unfortunately I left the containers out on our deck overnight. By morning, raccoons had gnawed through the heavy plastic of both jugs and eaten the oil! Not only was I out $50 worth of cooking oil, but talk about a mess - oil everywhere! After I cleaned up the mess, I immediately went online to look for recipes for deep fried raccoon.
Hope you're having a happy - and raccoon free - Thanksgiving.
