Shortly before Thanksgiving, Joey's kindergarten class compiled a list of "recipes" for Turkey Day. The kids dictated their culinary thoughts to their teacher, then drew a picture to accompany it, and the combined 19 recipes were bound together with yarn and sent home in everyone's backpacks.
Much to our relief, Joey's recipe was neither one of the following:
"We make popcorn in the microwave. Then we eat it in a bowl!"
"I like to eat mac n' cheese from the box! It's my favorite!"
Instead, his grisly, but mostly factual contribution was greatly inspired by watching his uncle Jeff fry up a turkey in a fryer set up on our driveway for our annual "Fake Thanksgiving" with the rest of the Cecchins.
"Cut the head and feet off the turkey. Cut the wings and tail off. Then cut it up and put it in a hot pot outside and then wait for a while and then you eat it!"
That's it! Add in six crazy cousins (some missing from the photos below thanks to an iPhone syncing failure... boo!), one extra dog, and a dash of roller-blading, bike-riding, a couple of baseball injuries, and movie-watching/ kid-corraling, and you have a Thanksgiving feast! Mangia!
