Sun tea is good. I'm not so sure about sun turkey.

I must laugh out loud
recalling raw roast turkey
I know better now

notes
After yesterday's heavy load, I decided to go light-hearted. 2019 was the first year that I tried to roast a whole turkey. The slow-roasting procedure that I used did not work out marvelously and the turkey was still raw at the bone even after 18 hours in the oven. Since then, I have purchased an idiot-proof countertop roaster, which works beautifully.
If you'd like more information on the roaster I bought and why I like love it, read the following post.

Reminds me of when my friends and I tried to have a Friends-giving, but none of us knew how long a turkey would take to cook! We ate dessert first and turkey last. :)
ReplyDeleteI had one of those disasters back in the 60s ... trying to prepare a turkey for my Mother and Stepfather. Horrible. Your senryu is great!
ReplyDeleteHaha! (The counter-top roasting oven sound so good I started thinking I should get one – then I remembered I don't eat turkey or roast anything anyway.)
ReplyDeleteYour haiku with the story makes me smile today, thanks! Bon Appetit!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha - the undone turkey! A peril of Thanksgiving/Christmas
ReplyDeleteHa ha! In 2019 I covered my turkey with tin foil and it kind of steamed and fell off the bone. Now I have no confidence in turkey roasting.
ReplyDeleteI've avoided cooking a turkey for fear of under-cooking. I tried baking once and failed.
ReplyDeleteCheers to your successes!
i always enjoy a good senryu, this tickled me.
ReplyDeleteThe image and your haiku also made me chuckle, Cie! Oh do I have stories to tell! Maybe between us... we will have a fully cooked dinner! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI laughed right along with you and your senryu, remembering the time my brothers decided to fry a whole turkey. The thing was burned on the outside and nearly frozen inside. It was a hoot.
ReplyDeleteRaw turkey is not healthy...
ReplyDeleteJust think of all you learned during this process, and all the poems that will be born in years to come!
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile with this one!!💝💝 Thank you for sharing.
