We once went on a Boy Scout outing ... ice fishing. Not on my Top 10,000 Ways to Spend a Saturday, by a long shot. A couple of the dads produced turkey fryers and proceeded to fry turkeys ... on the ice. Ok, I'm sure it was probably safe enough and they knew what they were doing. Nothing bad happened. But it made me EXTREMELY nervous to see the ice melting into a pool of water under and around these blazing hot fryers, while dozens of little boys were out on that ice.

Fried turkey, although a terribly unhealthy thing to do to a formerly healthy food, is very yummy.
