Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for November 25, 2019

Don’t worry – it’s a dry heat.

When you’re in the oven it is.

And how did I get this plastic belly-button?

…and it’s the forecast for most of the day, finally cooling in the evening.

It is, but only for a couple of hours….

Make sure you’re dressed appropriately.

Trust me, it will be very right!

350°C only if you’re on the planet Mercury…

Still a few days to go and I think I’ve maxed out on doomed turkey jokes.

Butterball better bail…

Don’t worry, it’s only for a few hours.

Sounds like a good day to get wasted, I mean, basted.

Just make sure you put on plenty of butter…I meant sunscreen.

Very clever. Happy Thanksgiving this week to my U.S. friends.

RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!

Note that best temperature for turkeys over 13 pounds is 325 degrees F.

Harsh.

Yes, but as a boy of the ’50s I remember the waiting time was endless.

Awe! I pardon you, Mr. T!

Little does he know……….

And why does it say “scattered side dishes”?

Don’t you want to start out at 450 to crisp up the skin before turning it down to 350 to cook through?

Trouble brewing literally.
