🦃🔪 Turkey Carving Time!

Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):

• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.

Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!

And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!

🎃 SAFETY TIPS | Pumpkin carving season is here! Before you dive into creating your spooky masterpiece, keep these safety tips in mind:

🔪 Use the right tools – Pumpkin carving kits are safer than kitchen knives.
✋ Carve away from yourself – Always cut with controlled, downward motions.
🕯️ Light it safely – Swap candles for LED lights to avoid burns or fire hazards.
👀 Supervise kids – Let them draw the design and scoop out the seeds, while adults handle the carving.

Stay safe, keep your fingers injury-free, and have a gourd-geous Halloween! 🎃
