HOW TO STUFF YOUR TURKEY ON THANKSGIVING
Ingredients:
1 Turkey
Stuffing
Sweet Potatoes
Mashed Potatoes With Gravy
Green Beans
Cranberry Sauce
Hot Rolls And Butter
Relish Tray
Pumpkin Pie With Whipped Cream
Hot Coffee
*********************
Get up early in the morning and have a cup of coffee. It's going to be a long
day, so place your Parrot on a perch to keep you company while you prepare the
meal.
Remove Parrot from kitchen counter and return him to perch. Prepare stuffing,
and remove Parrot from edge of stuffing bowl and return him to perch.
Stuff turkey and place it in the roasting pan, and remove Parrot from edge of
pan and return him to perch. Have another cup of coffee to steady your nerves.
Remove Parrot's head from turkey cavity and return him to perch, and re-stuff
the turkey.
Prepare relish tray, and remember to make twice as much so that you'll have a
regular size serving after the Parrot has eaten his fill.
Remove Parrot from kitchen counter and return him to perch. Prepare cranberry
sauce, discard berries accidentally flung to the floor by Parrot. Peel
potatoes, remove Parrot from edge of potato bowl and return him to perch.
Arrange sweet potatoes in a pan and cover with brown sugar and marshmallow.
Remove Parrot from edge of pan and return him to perch. Replace missing
marshmallows.
Brew another pot of coffee. While it is brewing, clean up the torn filter.
Pry coffee bean from Parrot beak. Have another cup of coffee and remove Parrot
from kitchen counter and return him to perch.
When time to serve the meal; place roasted turkey on a large platter, and
cover beak marks with strategically placed sprigs of parsley.
Put mashed potatoes into serving bowl, rewhip at last minute to conceal beak
marks and claw prints. Place pan of sweet potatoes on sideboard, forget
presentation as there's no way to hide the areas of missing marshmallows.
Put rolls in decorative basket, remove Parrot from side of basket and return
him to perch. Also remove beaked rolls, serve what's left. Set a stick of
butter out on the counter to soften--think better and return it to refrigerator
!!
Wipe down counter to remove mashed potato claw tracks. Remove parrot from
kitchen counter and return him to perch.
Cut the pie into serving slices. Wipe whipped cream off Parrot's beak and
place large dollops of remaining whipped cream on pie slices. Whole slices are
then served to guests, beaked-out portions should be reserved for host and
hostess.
Place Parrot inside cage and lock door. Sit down to a nice dinner with your
family...accompanied by plaintive cries of "WANT DINNER!" from the other room!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ROTFLMAO!!!!
How true!!!!
Sounds like my house on my work days. Since I work nights I get up about
noon, let Charlie out and while trying to make lunch for the birds, feed the
outside birds, and make my lunch I often put Charlie back on his cage at
least 20 times, LOL. My Dad is visiting and he right away noticed how when
we were in the back of the house where the computer is how I would always
walk back to check on Charlie whenever he got quiet. He said it's like
having a little kid, if they are quiet you wonder what they are into.
Normally works that way with the Macaw, if he stops making any noise it
normally means he has climbed down and is "exploring" again <VBG>

I agree about the "when they are quiet they are up to summat". During the
day I come up to my study and tell the dogs, to "go and lay down and give me
some peace". Then when they are quiet I can't concentrate because it is too
quiet downstairs.
