it's supposed to take between 8-12 hours to smoke fully. i'm skeptical that it's going to cook...but that's because i'm not an experienced smoker. if it works out, we might have a smoked turkey along side of the traditional roasted turkey for thanksgiving dinner.

unfortunately, kenny's other birthday present from me (a knitted hat for those cold mornings waiting at the bus stop) didn't work out. i'm on my third attempt at a different pattern. this time i actually did a gauge swatch. hopefully it'll fit and he'll be warm again as these mornings are only getting colder!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, babe! we love you!!
