I'm not trying to call anyone here a dummy or anything, but...
If you've bought one of those big turkey fryers things, for safety's sake DON'T FILL IT WITH OIL TO THE TOP! Allow for displacement.
Last year, one of my coworkers' husbands didn't think... and ended in the emergency room. Not the greatest way to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Have fun, eat well, and don't set the house on fire.
