About this design

Cooking the Thanksgiving turkey looks calm from the living room. In the kitchen it's a loop of opening the oven, checking the thermometer and quietly doing math about when everyone arrives. Here is the whole process in four words.

A golden-brown roast turkey rests on a teal platter, cranberries scattered around it and paper frills on the drumsticks. Below it, “THANKSGIVING COOK” is set in small black capitals, “BASTE. WAIT. BASTE.” follows in red condensed type, and “PANIC.” lands at the bottom in huge red letters with a black drop shadow.

A mug suits the coffee that goes cold on the counter while the turkey gets basted again.

Who it's for

Get it for the first-time host, the mom who has done this for twenty years and still checks the bird every ten minutes, or whoever volunteered to deep-fry. It makes a good host gift, too.
