Happy Thanksgiving!

That is ….Happy Thanksgiving - Melbourne & Intercoastal Pools style!!

Anne and I have heard about what Tom & Jean pull off every year for Thanksgiving but this is the first time that we helped out and yes……it is really something to see…..

working away in the "galley"

This year we ended up frying 18 whole turkeys for many of the employees of Tom's company, Intercoastal Pools.  Jean & Tom have been doing this for years as a little "thank you" for the folks and it started really early this time.

A good turkey is a fried turkey!

This one is ready!

Tom got the oil for the two fryers going about 6am.  We pulled in about 8:30am and he already had the first two turkeys going.  Over the rest of the day we did 18 turkeys!  It was quite a sight as at one time we had ten ready to go on the kitchen counter.  The folks came in waves; stopping for a beer and snack along with chatting with their friends/fellow employees.  It is quite a sight and we think they really appreciate the act of giving by both Jean & Tom.

Before & after

Only a few more to go!

By 3:30pm we had a wrap…….a new record has now been set and we all were ready to sit down and have a "cold one"…..
