The PhotoHunt theme this week is "Metal"
Seriously? Metal? Am I missing some hidden meaning? A double-entendre? I didn't know what to do with this.
So, I did this:
On the U.S. Thanksgiving Day this past Thursday, MJ and I had the traditional sumptuous turkey dinner at the home of some friends. They deep-fry their turkeys in a big Metal deep-fryer dedicated to the purpose, and kids, I tell you this was some of the best turkey I have ever eaten.I know they thought I was a little strange when I said "Hold it right there! I have to get a picture of this!" But then, perhaps I was just confirming what they already knew. :-)
So? Did I clear the theme?
And speaking of Thanksgiving... You know that Daily Click link in my sidebar? The one I urged you to click and support getting free mammograms for women who can't afford them? Did you know you can shop there? I just did like 90% of my holiday shopping for Christmas and Hannukah at The Breast Cancer Site, The Hunger Site, The Rainforest Site, and The Animal Rescue Site. Their prices are phenomenal, right now (in the US) shipping costs one cent, and you can help your favorite cause and the environment and find all kinds of cool gifts for just about everyone in the family!

That's a timely photo. Happy Thanksgiving! Mine's up, too. =)
Metal is a good Photo Hunt theme -- because it really allows people (like you!) room to play around with it! ;b
Seems like a very good choice - it is undoubtedly metal.
happy thanksgiving!! haven't tried deep fried turkey yet but it does look pretty inviting :)
Pass me the turkey... you can keep the metal pot.. hehe :P

Works for me! It looks delish, and I don't really even like turkey!
Nice metal, but how was the turkey? I don't think I've had deep-fried turkey yet? Is it really as good as people say? Something about the idea just seems... wrong... for Thanksgiving. But I'm a traditionalist.
Happy Thanksgiving!

When I was working in the US our subcontractor used to deep fry turkeys after injecting them with herbs and spices. Absolutely delicious.
Nope, i didn't think this was a stretch on the theme at all- just a fun way of presenting metal! LOL
very fitting i tell you that, post thanksgiving...
Oh my, I have to say, I've never had nor seen deep fried turkey before (and that size!) and I betcha it came out great! I love whole fried chickens and this must be exceptional! makes me hungry and crave fried anything... yay!
I have always wanted to taste fried turkey. Everyone who has tasted it raves about it.
Great photo...now I'm hungry again for turkey.
Stop by and see my Metal photos if you can.

That is one huge blob of metal and a very practical one!
Glad you enjoyed the deep fried turkey!
I must agree, that your PH for this week is more delicious than last week..lol!
Like everyone said! Timely capture for the theme:) Glad you had a fab Thanksgiving dinner!
I have never seen one of those, it is pure metal and the turkey looks delicious!!
Happy PH and happy weekend :)
Fried turkey is my favorite!
Oh love that turkey...Nice one. Happy hunting!
I've heard that deep fried turkeys are to die for...I'd like to try one day, but so expensive as far as I can find. I did get an organic, fresh bird this go round...it was so much more tasty than the frozen birds I'm used to!
Love some deep fried turkey.. great shot... timely one...we have one of those metal pots that has never been used...
Great take on the theme! I love deep fried turkey. My uncle does it and after he takes the turkey out, he throws a bunch of sweet potatoes in to make fries...yum!
Thanks for visiting and hope you are having a nice holiday weekend!
I've never seen it done in person yet and I'm wondering how good it tastes, better? Great choice!
Hi, the turkey looks good. Happy Thanksgiving :)
Hey, this works! I have never seen a turkey fryer, either, so it was a new photo for me! Great job. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for visiting my Photo Hunt last week. I am finally getting caught up!

I am assuming the pot is aluminum and that is definitely "metal". I have never had fried turkey but would love to try it. How long did it take to cook the bird? So glad you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with friends!
You did great! It's a good picture, and (to me!) quite an exotic idea. Deep fried turkey?
I sure wish I could have a bite!
Hmmm good! Super fun shot!
deep-fried turkey?!
That is so cool! I always wanted to try that but I was afraid we would set the grass on fire. :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Wow you certainly have an excellent choice. I live in the south and we have always wanted to try this.
I have heard that they are fantastic.
Thanks so much for dropping by and having a peek at Harriet!!
Great shot I love it!!:-)
That must have been fried to perfection. Belated Happy Thanksgiving.
Great picture. Never saw such a large pan before. LOL Hope it fried well and you had a nice Thanksgiving.
