This story got my attention because I, too, have thought/dreamed about turducken. Like our narrator, I felt the whole process was too much. I also looked into calling one in, but didn't follow through. Now I'm inspired all over again!
Ali took an experiential, but non-traditional approach to a "cooking piece". Instead of "now I am deboning the second of three birds", she pronounces that process gross and gets on the phone!
The language is matter of fact *and descriptive. She draws the listener in...will she make her own...what kind of stuffing will she order???
It's a real and clear delivery that keeps the listener with the narrator through the story...some even ready and waiting to write down that 800 # to phone in their order as well!
