It's one small step for the Deen family, and one giant leap for Keffie Deen II

How can you not like Thanksgiving. It’s such a great holiday. This Thanksgiving for my family in Michigan was no different. As I said earlier, no one….and I mean no one does Thanksgiving like my step mom Delores. Year after year after year I never seemed to not be amazed by how much she does, and how it just manages to get better and better and better. This year was no different. However, after many years of expressing that we wanted a Deep-fried Turkey for Thanksgiving, Delores decided to get a deep fryer. In order to make things more manageable, she decided to place me in charge of preparing the deep-fried turkey for the family. So in true “guy fashion”, beer in one hand, while watching the game, I warmed up the oil and dropped in the turkey. The deep-fryer that we have is pretty easy to use and is pretty much fool proof. Yet it brought me great joy to be able to help the family in that way. When we raised the basket, the turkey was beautiful. It tasted awesome also…ahh from now on, it will be my duty to prepare the deep fried Turkey for the family. As I said, Thanksgiving is always a big deal here at the house to give you an idea of the sheer amount of food that is available on Thanksgiving, let me give you idea: Crown Roast, Deep Fried Turkey, a boneless turkey, two different kinds of stuffing macaroni and cheese, homemade rolls, green beans, lemon chiffon pie, sweet potato pie, some type of chocolate pie (delicious), a mango salsa and that’s it…I think. I even made my famous dessert the next day. Thanksgiving was a great time, I ate, hung out with the siblings, watch the Dallas Cowboys kick Tampa Bay’s butt, and caught up with an old friend. It was great to catch up with him and reconnect. That brings me to my Shout of this post. My shout out of this post goes to Bennie Williams. A friend that I have known, since seventh grade, and have now vowed to keep in touch with. Bennie I love you man, Take care man & Take care y’all! In Him Keffie Deen II Go Cowboys! 7-4…Tony Romo: 20/26 (?), 305 yards, 5 TD’s (tied Cowboys record)…WOW. 8-4 as of 12/4/’06
