ME: I think I'm going to use the roaster to do the turkey.
HUSBEAST: We don't have a roaster.
ME: Sure we do. The one I dye yarn in.
HUSBEAST: Yum. Purple turkey.
ME: I intended to scrub it out first. Besides, the way the roasting process works, if there's color left in there, it won't get on the bird.
HUSBEAST: Oh, okay.
ME: But the gravy might turn pink.
I"m sorry--"Purple turkey, pink gravy" just doesn't have the selling power of "Green eggs and ham..." But it DID make me hella crack up!!!!
ReplyDeleteI give Husbeast credit...I would have had to listen to how it's unsanitary to roast a turkey were yarn had lurked. Yes, my husbeast is a germaphobic, or somthing.

That's the good thing about the way you dye. My pots are all "designated for fiber only" once I've used them for acid dyes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I sort of think that pink gravy might be visually interesting...
So what's wrong with pink gravy? I kinda like pink and as long as it tastes good....
ReplyDeleteI just want to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteWith many dyers, I would read about roasting the turkey in the dye pan and get all alarmed.
ReplyDeleteWith you, I just wonder if purple icing dye turns that scary bright bluish green coming out, the way grape Pedialyte does.
(Probably way TMI except for moms of children of a certain age and sickness.)
