Today is the Thanksgiving fest at work.  This is the annual pitch-in lunch with the office staff.  My boss, Cathy, drives everyone to participate with great results.  We usually have a ton of very interesting choices for the meal. 

So Rich deep fried turkeys for last year’s meal.  It went over really well.  Everyone who could get to it said it was great.  So this year, I talked Rich into deep frying turkeys again this year.  Some people in the office even went together to help pay for the cost.  That was much appreciated. 

So the day is here and it turns out to be cold and very, very windy.  Not a good day for deep frying at all.  So Rich gets the first in the oil and cooked without too much trouble.  By the time the second turkey needs to go in, the wind keeps blowing out the flame!  So poor Rich ends up babysitting the burner to be sure it stays lit! 

So it’s 30 minutes after the time we need to leave the house and Rich is just bringing up the second turkey.  So I call the office to let them know we will be a little late for lunch.  Hopefully we can get there before 12 Noon with the turkeys!

So this blog is supposed to be about Sascha, right?  Here is the Sascha connection.  She was very interested in what was going on with the first turkey.  She followed Rich everywhere.  Her nose seemed to enjoy the smells.  By the time we get to the second turkey, she has lost all interest and went back to guarding her yard from that army of squirrels.  Now I can’t get her in the house so we can pack up to leave!
