HOW TO STUFF YOUR PARROT ON THANKSGIVING:





Ingredients- 1 turkey, corn pudding, green beans, stuffing, sweet
potatoes,mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce, rolls, relish tray,
pumpkin pie,whipped cream and hot coffee.

How to mix:

Get up early in the am & have a cup of coffee. It's gonna be a long day.
Place parrot on perch nearby to keep you company while you prepare the meal.

Remove parrot from kitchen counter back to perch. remove parrot from
edge of stuffing bowl. Stuff turkey & place in roasting pan, remove
parrot from edge of pan. Have another cup of coffee. Remove parrots head
from the turkey cavity and re-stuff voided area. Prepare relish tray,
remember to make twice as much so you'll have regular size serving after
parrot has it's fill.

Remove parrot from kitchen counter. Prepare cranberry sauce, discard
berries accidently flung to floor by parrot. Peel potatoes, remove
parrot from edge of potato pan. Arrange sweet potatoes in a pan & cover
with brown sugar & mini marshmallows, remove parrot from edge of pan and
replace missing marshmallows.

Brew another pot of coffee. While brewing, clean up shredded coffee
filters and old coffee grounds from off the counter, pry coffee bean
from parrot's beak. Have another cup of coffee. Take parrot off counter
again and place on perch.

When ready to serve the meal:
Place roasted turkey on large platter, cover beak marks with
strategically placed parsley. Put mashed potatoes in serving bowl,
rewhip to hide bite marks and talon prints. Place sweet potatoes on
sideboard - don't worry about presentations as there's no way to hide
missing marshmallows. Put rolls in basket, remove parrot from side of
basket along with beaked rolls, serve what's left.

Soften stick of butter, on second thought place back in refrig. Wipe
down counter of mashed potato talon tracks. Remove parrot from kitchen
counter & carve pie, wipe whipped cream off parrot's beak and add extra
dollops of cream on beak prints left on slices. Give whole slices to
guests, beaked out slices to host/hostess.

Place parrot inside cage & lock the door. Sit down to nice relaxing
dinner with family - accompanied by plaintive cries of "Want dinner!"
from the other room.
