: Good for you Rob. Now quit snooping under the tree and get back to bed and
: wait for the rest of the family to get up

: Don't know what I got yet...it's 2:34 am and I got to watch the critters in
: the lab for a couple of more hours, then cram in a couple of hours of
: sleep before the kids wake up to open presents.

: My family is coming over for dinner, I'm deepfrying the turkey and BBQing a
: ham. Kerri is sure I'm going to either burn the house down or kill our
: guests by deepfrying the turkey..."3 minutes a pound, it'll be raw
: for sure" she says.
: I'm doing it all outside, every thing will be fine. Supposed to be -2C, the
: backyard rink is flooded and waiting for the skating party to begin.

: Merry Christmas.

Carefull with that turkey!

A friend of mine burnt his house down a couple of years ago. Twins were asleep in the house and he went in to check on them. In the two minutes that took, the fryer boiled over and the buring fat/oil spilled over onto the BBQ. The BBQ was a natural gas outfit plumbed into the house NG line.

The BBQ blew up, and took the back of the house with it. The rest of the house followed soon after. His wife got home and freaked as the house was a burning torch, and at first she couldn't fined her husband or the kids.

As it turned out, they were fine (at a neighbours house), but as you can imagine, it was not a relaxing holiday...

Keep safe, don't let the fryer out of your sight, and have a good and safe holiday!

Merry Christmas!
