26th December, 2003 - Getting Creative with Foil

I had some friends over for dinner last night and I decided to go with a big turkey for the small get-together. My friends have a great sense of humour, so I got a little creative with the cooking. A few weeks ago, someone gave me a decorative tip for Christmas dinner: cut up little pieces of foil in whatever shape you want and place it on the turkey before you put it in the oven. When it's done, your artwork shows up lighter than the rest of the bird.

When the time was right, I presented my masterpiece:



Of course, I had no idea that my friends' parents (who I had never met before) would be tagging along. I tried to cover up Bikini Bird with some leaf lettuce, but my friend's dad insisted he wanted to carve the bird. There was a moment of awkward silence as he unveiled the tanned turkey. Then he averted his eyes and asked who wanted the breast ....uh....white meat and who liked the dark.

Me and my bright ideas.
